Chełm

Chełm is a city in eastern Poland, near the border with Ukraine. It is best known for its historic old town, the Basilica of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, and the underground chalk tunnels running beneath the city. Chełm also has a long history connected with trade, religion, and regional administration, which gives it a distinctly layered character. It works well as a sightseeing stop with a mix of history and unusual underground exploration.

Na miejscu można liczyć przede wszystkim na:

• A walk through the historic old town, where the city’s long past is still visible in its layout and atmosphere.
• A visit to the Basilica of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, one of Chełm’s key landmarks tied to its religious heritage.
• The chalk tunnels under the city, which offer a rare underground experience and are closely linked to Chełm’s local identity.

For the best experience, it is worth planning a calm sightseeing outing and wearing comfortable shoes, especially if you want to combine the old town with the underground routes. This is a good choice for travelers interested in history, religious heritage, and places with an unusual local story.
