General presentation
Poznań
A shopping and university town, between the colourful old square, cathedral island, museums, parks and gastronomy of Greater Poland.
The discovery of Poznań revolves around Stary Rynek, Ostrów Tumski and Lake Malta. The stay thus alternates between urban life, heritage and riverscapes, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Town or village
Stary Rynek
The Stary Rynek of the Poznań The town hall is a colourful façade, a narrow merchant's house and the famous mechanical scapegoats. Despite the recent restorations, the square retains its role as an urban scene, between terraces, museums and shopping streets that leave in all directions.
Town or village
Ostrów Tumski
Ostrów Tumski is the cathedral island of Poznań, a quieter area where the city is closer to its medieval origins. The cathedral, bridges and the remains highlighted give a visit more historic than picturesque, particularly interesting before or after the lively center.
Nature
Lake Malta
The Malta Lake offers Poznań a large outdoor area, with appointed banks, trails, nautical activities and open views to the east of the centre. You come there to change pace after museums and squares, especially in the sunny days when the inhabitants meet there to walk, run or skate.
