Poznan is a very interesting city to visit in Poland. One of my personal favorites actually. The heart of the Old Town is (as in almost every Polish major city) the Market Square. The one in Poznan is definitely among the country’s most beautiful ones. Rows of colorful houses, a kaleidoscope of fascinating architecture, plenty of food and drink spots as well as top-notch museums make it the true heart of this developed Polish city.
Let’s explore the Market Square in Poznan together with this photo walk.
