Lublin is the largest Polish city east of the Vistula River. It is around 170 km away from the capital of Poland, Warsaw. Lublin is an important culture and education center. There are six schools of higher education (two universities, medical university, technical university and university of life sciences) and a number of private higher education establishments. Since accession of Poland into the EU, Lublin has been called "Gate to the East."
