Looking for unusual winter attractions in Poland? Near the town of Sieradz, one seasonal stop breaks the quiet rhythm of Central Poland with an explosion of light.

Winter travel here is usually calm: short days, muted landscapes, and local places far from mainstream guidebooks. That’s why encountering Polish Las Vegas after dark feels so surprising. What appears from the road as a private house suddenly opens into a dense sea of color and light, bright enough to stop passing cars, cyclists, and walkers alike.

Known locally as “Polish Las Vegas,” this display is not a theme park or commercial attraction. It’s a family project, built year after year with patience and enthusiasm, and today it has become one of the most recognizable winter landmarks in the region.

Where Is It?

Polish Las Vegas is located in Sieradz, a small town in Central Poland (Łódzkie Voivodeship), close to a major road linking western and central parts of the country. If you’re travelling between cities like Poznań, Wrocław, Warsaw, or Kraków, the detour is minimal — and after dark, the glow is impossible to miss. The marked location on the map makes it easy to plan your stop.

A Growing Winter Tradition

What began as simple holiday decoration has grown into a display of around 200,000 lights. The yard fills with illuminated trees, reindeer, snowmen, nativity scenes, Santa figures, and animated details. Preparation usually starts in October and takes weeks of careful work.

When and How Long to Visit

The lights usually shine from mid-December until January 6th (Epiphany). The display works best after dark and fits perfectly into an evening stop. While the area isn’t large, the details reward a slower pace — 20–30 minutes is just right.
