When to go

Spring and early autumn are particularly good for walks. Squares and parks are lively in summer, while museums and cafés become more central to visits in winter.

Things to see and do

Walk around the Old Market Square, visit the Town Hall and Cathedral Island, and explore historic districts and one of the city's museums.

Practical tips

The centre is compact and easy to explore on foot. Trams are practical for neighbourhoods beyond the Old Market Square.

Getting there and getting around

Poznań has an international airport and a major central railway station with good connections to Warsaw, Berlin, Wrocław and other cities.

Where to stay

The old town is practical for a first visit. Jeżyce suits cafés and a local atmosphere, while areas near the station are convenient for rail journeys.

What to try

Try rogale świętomarcińskie, pierogi, Polish soups and dishes from Greater Poland.
