A bit of history to understand Poznan<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Poznan is considered the cradle of the Polish state. Poland was born as a nation here in the 10th century, and you can see that in every corner. Throughout the centuries it was disputed between Poles and Germans, which explains its architectural and cultural mix.<\/p>\n

Today it is a university city, modern and very active, but without losing its historical essence. Understanding this past helps a lot to appreciate the places you are going to visit.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.5″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.5″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.5″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

Stary Rynek: the historical heart of the city<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If there is one unmissable thing to do in Poznan, it is the Stary Rynek<\/strong>, or Old Market Square. It is one of the most beautiful squares in Central Europe.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/que-ver-en-poznan-old-town.jpg\u00bb alt=\u00bbthings to do in poznan old town\u00bb title_text=\u00bbthings to do in poznan old town\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.5″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.5″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

The Town Hall and the famous goats<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The most iconic building is the Renaissance Town Hall. Every day at 12 noon, two mechanical goats come out of the clock and \u00abbutt\u00bb their heads. It is a local tradition that attracts both tourists and locals.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.5″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

Cathedral Island (Ostr\u00f3w Tumski)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This is the oldest place in Poznan and one of the most historically important.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.5″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It is the oldest cathedral in Poland. The country’s first kings are buried inside.

Sunset walk along the Warta River<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Walk across the Jordan Bridge (Most Jordana)<\/h2>\n

The Jordan Bridge<\/strong> is a modern pedestrian bridge that connects the center with more residential areas of Poznan. It’s not a tourist must-see, but it is a nice walk if you like to walk aimlessly and see the city from another perspective. We crossed it several times during our stay and found it interesting to observe local daily life, especially at sunset, when the surroundings become quieter and more photogenic. It is one of those simple places that add up when you stay several days in the city.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/que-hacer-en-poznan-polonia.jpg\u00bb alt=\u00bbthings to do in poznan poland\u00bb title_text=\u00bbthings to do in poznan poland\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.5″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.5″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n

Imperial Castle of Poznan<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Built at the beginning of the 20th century for the German Emperor Wilhelm II, this castle is unique in its style. Today it functions as a cultural center, with exhibitions, cinema, and events.<\/p>\n

We were surprised at how well integrated it is into the daily life of the city.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/travel-insurance-discount-iati-1.webp\u00bb alt=\u00bbtravel insurance discount iati\u00bb title_text=\u00bbtravel insurance discount iati\u00bb url=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.recalculandoviajes.com\/iati-seguros-en\u00bb url_new_window=\u00bbon\u00bb admin_label=\u00bbads IATI horizontal 5off (2026) – EN\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.8″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb border_radii=\u00bbon|20px|20px|20px|20px\u00bb box_shadow_style=\u00bbpreset1″ global_module=\u00bb15674″ saved_tabs=\u00bball\u00bb locked=\u00bboff\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.5″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.5″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.5″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n
