Known for its trade fairs, billy goats, fancy croissants, and a stunning Old Town with one of Poland’s most interesting market squares, Poznań nonetheless remains a niche destination for most foreign tourists. That’s all the more reason to explore it, however. Heaving with students and less touristladen than other European cities of its size, Poznań is rife with outstanding architecture, diverse cultural and recreational attractions (including the beloved Lake Malta), urban renewal initiatives (like Stary Browar), and historical monuments (including the probable site of ‘Poland’s baptism,’ i.e. conversion to Christianity). In print since 2002, Poznań In Your Pocket is the best source for meticulously up-to-date information on everything to see and do in the city. Though it represents only a small fraction of our efforts to bring you memorable local experiences, this miniguide is meant to help you navigate the city and easily discover the best it has to offer, no matter your interests.
