Recommendations and budget allocation

  • Allocate ~30–40% of daily budget to meals and cafés to fully enjoy local cuisine and pastries.
  • Reserve a small portion (~5–10%) for museum donations, entry fees or guided tours not listed.
  • Keep ~10% for local transport, tips and incidental purchases (souvenirs, water).
  • Plan longer time for Majdanek and Lublin Castle—allocate half a day each for meaningful visits.
