The Old Market Square has been the heart of Poznan since the 13th century. It is surrounded by picturesque townhouses, but its greatest landmark is the Renaissance Town Hall from the mid-16th century. It is here that the famous mechanical goats, which are the symbol of the city, are located. They butt heads every day at noon and at 3 p.m. In the vicinity, you will find the impressive baroque Fara church, which offers organ concerts, numerous museums and galleries, as well as a plethora of restaurants and cafés.

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.

Taste the world's only St Martin's croissants

The tradition of St Martin’s Croissants dates back to at least the mid-19th century. These sweet pastries filled with white poppy-seed filling can only be tasted in and around Poznań. Since 2008, they have been a regional product protected in the entire European Union. 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. During live demonstrations, you can learn about their history and, of course, taste the unforgettable flavour.

Relax amidst greenery and history

The people of Poznan live in a place full of greenery and water. When visiting the city, you can experience this in the Citadel Park. With an area of over 100 hectares, this green space has a fascinating history, as it was created on the site of the largest artillery fort of 19th century Europe. 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. It is only 2 km from the Old Town and offers plenty of attractions, such as the aquapark Termy Matańskie, the narrow-gauge park railway Maltanka, the New Zoo, as well as a year-round tobogganing and skiing slope.
