Culture in Poznan

If you're planning on doing a bit of sightseeing in the city then there are a few places to put on your 'essential Poznan' list and several more that are set to impress, if you're flush for time.

The self-respecting tourist's day out should start at Stary Rynek, the Old Town Square, where you can see the Town Hall and a whole host of other cultural delights. Meanwhile you'll find museums in abundance and in varying themes. The Poznan National Museum houses some fine pieces spanning centuries including some impressive Polish style coffin portaits. Further afield you'll find Citadela, the city's largest park, which has outdoor displays of military equipment and further still the Cathedral whose twin towers stand proud above Ostrow Tumski, the spot where Poland adopted Catholic baptism.
