This central plaza was laid out in 1253, the very year that Poznań received its town rights under Holy Roman Magdeburg Law. It is almost a perfect square, measuring 141 x 141 metres, and after losing 60% of its buildings in 1945 was quickly restored after the war. Many of the pastel-painted tenement houses have restaurant and bar terraces on their ...
The Old Market Square’s crowning glory is a late-Renaissance wonder from 1550 to 1560. On the eastern facade is a beautiful loggia with three tiers and paintings in the spandrels and friezes between and above its arches. Further up you’ll see portraits of the Kings of the Jagiellonian Line, placed either side of a gilded cartouche with the initials...
The interior of the Town Hall has been a museum since 1956 and merits a separate entry. The star of the show is the Grand Vestibule, which looks pretty much as it did in the middle of the 16th century. In the coffered ceiling are rich stucco patterns around paintings of heraldic animals and coats of arms. In the galleries, look for the mantel clock...
It is no exaggeration to say that Poland was born on this island between the forks of the Warta River. The island today is a sleepy settlement of cobblestone streets and squares fringed by trees and historic ecclesiastical buildings. It’s a welcome respite from the tourist trail around the Market Square. One of the first things you’ll notice is the...
After extensive damage in the Battle of Poznań, Poland’s oldest cathedral has a Late Gothic design based on Medieval plans. This takes nothing away from the mastery of the star vaults in the nave and the groin vaults in the chancel. There are also preserved treasures like Flemish tapestries from the 1600s, choir stalls from the 1500s and a Late Got...
All about the history of Ostrów Tumski, this interpretation centre is by the Cybina River in the oldest part of the city. Something unprecendented about Brama Poznania is that there isn’t a single artefact, as all the exhibits are multimedia. The centre has an ultramodern building that opened in 2014 alongside and the preserved remnants of Prussian...
Coming off the southeast corner of the Market Square on Świętosławska your attention will be grabbed by the glorious facade of this Baroque church. The Church of St Stanislaus, a former Jesuit college, is held as one of Poland’s finest Baroque religious buildings. The niches, scrolls and pilasters give a hint of what awaits through the portal: The ...
Kaiser Wilhelm II had a big hand in design of this Neo-Romanesque palace, built for him from 1904 to 1910. The Imperial Castle mimics the great residences of the Medieval Holy Roman Emperors at cities like Goslar in Germany. At the patio gardens in the northern wing Wilhelm took inspiration from the Court of the Lions at the Alhambra in Granada. In...
North of the Old Town on a rise is Fort Winiary, one of a system of 18 defences protecting the city in the Prussian years. Looking on a map, it’s easy to see the outline of the ravelins to the north of the park. You can also find extensive earthworks, while chunks of ravelins and bastions are clues of what was here before. Ravelin IV has a now disu...
This museum has a few branches in Poznań, for applied arts, musical instruments and ethnography. But the headquarters is the Gallery of Painting and Sculpture on Aleje Marcinkowskiego. This sandstone Historicist building dates to 1904 and has one of Poland’s largest collections of foreign art, as well as a who’s who of Polish painting from the 1500...

Dec 28, 2023 · Pierozak (Półwiejska 10 and Wrocławska 23): This place only serves pierogi and soup. It’s nothing fancy, the food is great, and the prices are ridiculously low. Na Winklu (Srodka 1): When visiting Poznan Cathedral, head to this small yet fantastic restaurant that serves some of the best pierogi in the city.
