Old Town Poznan: Guided Walking Tour in English

The cradle of Polish statehood. A fascinating testimony to a millennium of history, culture and a spirit of entrepreneurship. Taking advantage of its location at the crossroad of many trade routes, Poznań developed greatly over several centuries. The wealth of the historic city and its trading character is still visible through its magnificent architecture and uniquely colourful Old Market Square. At the end of the 18th century, the city became part of Prussia. During the partitions, Poles became a target of brutal persecutions and Germanization. Unlike in other parts of the former Poland, their response was not only in armed resistance. Over the next decades, they are rather focused on development in all kinds of fields – educational, social and economic. That is why you will still feel here more… grounded than in the other parts of Poland As one of the economic and cultural centres of Poland, known for organizing international fairs, present-day Poznań is bustling with life. It is also one of the biggest university hubs. Some even say it’s the friendliest city in the country. Join our Old Town Free Walkative!

The tour with the guide was fantastic, she told me the history of one of the oldest cities in Poland, where I wouldn't have learned so many interesting things on my own and she also took care to show me the most important things in the city. As a guide, she did a very good job, the way she told the stories and interesting facts was so interesting that you could listen to it all day long, it wasn't boring, there were some jokes so that's a plus. The trip with the guide enriched my stay in Poznań. Thank you I highly recommend Mrs. Kasia and I encourage you to use her services. Money well spent.
