For years, we have been fascinated by unusual places. We don’t like tourist paths. We are looking for new, undiscovered trails. You will not meet us at the Sukiennice in Kraków or near the Crane in Gdańsk, because where the crowds of tourists come, there is no place or space to collect experiences.

We want you to delve into locality with us, and get to know the different faces of culture. We choose smaller towns, villages … away from the hustle and bustle. We ask, search, listen to, pick out interesting events, meetings or workshops, but also places where you will immerse yourself in history or learn contemporary creative ideas.

Collected over the years, we have decided to gather our discoveries as the JustBy project, because just around the corner, not far, nearby, you will find unique and unusual niche places and local events. Here you will also meet authentic inhabitants, artistic initiatives and extraordinary cultural phenomena.

Depending on whether you want to follow the trail of music, dance, crafts, ancient architecture, history or cultural experiences, thanks to JustBy you will create your own one, traveling the way you like.

JustBy is created by HERC Creative Lab
