Zamosc
Designed in its entirety four centuries ago, Zamość was built in one swoop at the behest of Jan Zamoyski, the chancellor of the time. Zamoyski intended to create a perfect city, which would be an important cultural and trading centre and an impregnable fortress.
This proved to be a successful venture since the town was situated at the intersection of major trading routes. Today it’s a charming place, well off the tourist trail, but with reasonable cheap accommodation and some good bars and clubs. Transport links are mostly through Lublin.
