The best attractions of Poznań

The city pulsates with creativity – here, modernity blends with tradition, and in every district you will find places that will surprise you. Whether it's an evening concert in an old factory or an intimate breakfast market in the park, Poznań perfectly combines the energy of a big city with a cosiness and this combination makes you feel comfortably from the first moment. Poznań is a city worth staying in for at least two full days. Our list of places worth seeing in terms of tradition starts with the Poznań Croissant Museum. It is located in the Old Market Square, which is the city's landmark. It is worth taking a leisurely stroll through the old town and admire the tenement houses. It is also worth walking from Plac Wolności (Freedom Square) to Przemysł Castle, where you can climb the observation tower to admire the panorama of the city. Another unique place on the map of Poznań is the Enigma Cipher Center, which combines science with interactive fun in a unique way. This place allows you to immerse yourself in a world of puzzles, codes, and mysteries, while also learning about the history of how Polish cryptologists broke the Enigma code. Staying on the subject of Polish history, the next stop we recommend is HistoryLand, where huge LEGO models depict key events in Polish history. Among other things, you can see the Battle of Grunwald, the Gdańsk Shipyard, and St. Mary's Basilica. Each scene, created from over 1.5 million bricks, amazes with its detail and has been enhanced with sound, light and multimedia effects. The precision and detail of these structures are truly impressive! Believe us, both children and adults will love this place. Let's get back to the food! Before we reveal our list of the best restaurants and cafés, here's one more suggestion combining culture and cuisine: Poznań Potato (Pyra) Museum! This museum presents the history of potatoes in Poland and around the world in a fun and educational way. You can learn not only about how potatoes found their way onto our tables, but also prepare and bake your own potatoes. It's an experience full of humor and flavor! When it comes to restaurants and cafés, we particularly recommend Zen On (a Michelin-recommended restaurant serving Asian cuisine), The Time restaurant (we especially recommend the sticky toffee pudding dessert – a sweet but delicious way to end the day), and breakfast at Sanszajn.
