Must-Try!

Sour rye soup often served with sausage and egg — a warming traditional Polish soup you’ll find at family-style restaurants and milk-bar style places.

Fresh or smoked fish dishes reflecting the town’s proximity to the Baltic — look for daily specials at local eateries or fish stalls in markets.

Kashubian-style blood sausage and other smoked meats; sold at markets and sometimes featured on restaurant menus as a regional speciality.

The market square and nearby streets host bakeries, seasonal stalls, and small vendors where you can sample breads, cheeses, smoked fish and regional preserves; great for local products and quick bites.

Near the coast and in summer months you'll find stands selling grilled fish, fried snacks, and cold drinks — ideal when visiting nearby beaches or dunes.

A formal greeting (handshake) is common when meeting people for the first time; use polite forms like 'Dzień dobry' (good day) in shops and public places.

Dress modestly and be quiet in churches; photography may be restricted in certain religious or historical sites—observe posted signs.

Punctuality is appreciated for meetings and tours; arrive on time for organized activities and public transport connections.

The area has a Kashubian minority with its own language and traditions—show respect for regional customs and local heritage.

Late spring brings milder weather and blooming countryside; some facilities reopen after winter, and it’s a good time for cycling and birdwatching before peak tourist season.

Warmest and busiest season with easy access to beaches and dunes—expect more visitors, outdoor events, and open seasonal stalls; bring sun protection and book accommodations ahead for weekend stays.

Crisp air and colorful foliage make it pleasant for walks and photography; some coastal winds increase and tourist services begin to scale back toward late autumn.

Cold with possible snow and frosty mornings—town is quiet and atmospheric, but some attractions and services may have reduced hours; dress warmly and be prepared for occasional icy conditions.

Well-marked trails that traverse dunes, shorelines and woodland around Łebsko Lake; offers unique, shifting-dune landscapes and birdwatching opportunities.

Gentle walks along the lake suitable for all levels, with opportunities to spot waterfowl and enjoy tranquil lakeside views.

Short to moderate routes across moving sand dunes and beach segments—bring sturdy footwear and check weather/wind conditions.

Local forest and field trails around the Lębork area offering quieter rural hikes and cycling routes, ideal for half-day excursions.

Vegetarian options are increasingly common in Lębork—many restaurants offer vegetable pierogi, salads, and soups, but choices are more limited than in large cities. Communicate clearly (’Jestem wegetarianinem/wegetarianką’) and seek out cafes and modern eateries for better selection.

Vegan choices exist but are limited; bring snacks and use larger towns like Gdańsk for wider vegan dining. Look for vegetable-based pierogi, salads, and potato-based dishes, and ask staff about broths and hidden animal ingredients.

Traditional Polish cuisine relies heavily on wheat and rye; some restaurants can accommodate gluten-free needs on request, but cross-contamination is possible. Carry snacks if strongly intolerant and check labels at markets.

If you have severe allergies, prepare a card in Polish explaining your allergy and necessary precautions; smaller kitchens may have fewer formal allergen controls.
