Touch the beginnings of Polish history

Cathedral Island is the oldest part of Poznań, dating back to at least the 10th century. It is crowned by the towers of the oldest cathedral in Poland, where the first rulers of the country – prince Mieszko I and his son King Bolesław Chrobry – are buried.

Poznań may surprise you. One of the most unique places is the former imperial castle, considered to be... the youngest castle in Europe. It was built in the early 20th century for the German Kaiser Wilhelm II. Today it is home to the Zamek Culture Centre, which organises hundreds of concerts, exhibitions and other events a year. And yes, you can sit on the genuine throne.

Across the street is the Enigma Cipher Centre, which tells the story of three talented maths students of the University of Poznan. In the early 1930s, they managed to crack the secret of the German Enigma cipher machine. Thanks to their efforts, they shortened the Second World War by at least two years.

They are available all year round, although according to tradition they should mainly be eaten on 11 November – the St Martin's Day. On this occasion, up to 250 tonnes of croissants are baked. On the same day, a colourful parade passes through the centre of the city. The Saint Martin's croissants also have their own museum located on the Old Market Square.

To this day, relics of Prussian fortifications can be seen among the trees, as well as many open-air works of art. You can also go to Lake Malta. This is one of the four lakes within the city limits of Poznań.
