<p>Łódź (Polish: <em>Łódź</em>, German: <em>Lodz / Lodsch</em>) is a major city in central <a href="https://mandry.club/en/countries/republic-of-poland/">Poland</a>, one of the largest cities in the country and the capital of the Łódź Voivodeship. The name of the city translates to &#8220;boat&#8221; or &#8220;ferry.&#8221; Founded in the 13th century, Łódź received its city rights in the first half of the 15th century.</p>
<p>The city&#8217;s prosperity began with the rise of industry. In the second half of the 19th century, hundreds of factories were established in Łódź, earning it the nickname &#8220;the Polish Manchester.&#8221;</p>

<p>In 1945, after World War II, Łódź served as Poland&#8217;s de facto capital for three years (until 1948) because Warsaw had been almost completely destroyed.</p>
<p>Today, Łódź is a major economic and industrial hub in Poland, particularly known for its electronics industry. In recent decades, some factories have closed, and the city&#8217;s population has decreased by 130,000.</p>
<p>The public transport system includes 58 bus routes and 19 tram lines.</p>
<h3 id="accommodation-in-od">Accommodation in Łódź</h3>
