10 Place to Visit and Things to Do in Poznan
Poznan is an interesting mixture of old and new and just perfect for a weekend getaway. In spite of being a relatively small city, Poznan is trendy and it has the cool factor. But what we love best about it is that it really knows how to draw inspiration from the past, in order to build a hip present.
Europe's map has been scrutinised by travellers and few stones remain unturned. Nevertheless, there still are places that stay mostly out of the radar of the masses and tour groups. Is Poznan one of Europe's still hidden gems?
It saddens us that Eastern Europe is largely overlooked by first time visitors to Europe. Though things seem to be taking a positive turn, and more travellers are heading East these days, truth is, the numbers are still very low in comparison with all the potential that awaits.
A couple of years ago we visited Warsaw, Wroclaw, Krakow and Gdansk as part of an Interrail trip through Eastern Europe and Scandinavia. Unfortunately we missed Poznan due to train connections and we were obviously happy when the chance to visit Poznan finally presented to us.
