Lake Malta is a picturesque man-made lake that offers a variety of activities such as running and cycling. Adjacent to the lake, visitors can explore attractions like Jezyce with its street art and vibrant cafe scene, Kornik Castle where the legend of the 'White Lady' lingers, and the charming 'Vine Bridge' restaurant. In June, the Midsummer Night festival illuminates the sky with thousands of lanterns.
Reminds me of Pancharevo ezero in Bulgaria, a very nice walk around, but even better because of the many things to do around. There's a train, two roads - strictly for pedestrians and one for bikers only, ice cream and some restaurants at the far end as well as a whole amusement park and a zoo if you continue a bit further, But it's fine even for just a walk. Takes about 1 - 2 hours depending on your tempo. I loved that they put an honour to the medalists!

A lovely lake. It’s a 5.6km loop we ran around and a great way to see it! There’s a lot going on; mini golf, ski slope, acarde, thermal baths etc. Great visit and would recommend a few hours here
A beautiful lake, especially for taking pict.. hehe
the area is quite busy..A suitable area for relaxing, jogging,Read a book Or even just to enjoy the fresh air. There are several restaurants near the lake... so you don't need to worry if you're hungry 😁
It has the wow effect. Lovely man made lake for rowing competition. Lots of activity on either side of the lake. One side, artificial ski slope and the other side- water park/ slide. There are also ‘beach’ type place where you can play beach volleyball and football. Not for swimming or u can swim but at your own peril…….
Great place for jogging , cycling, walking you pets or just simply outdoor walking . One of the biggest Man made lakes in Poznan. The water sport competitions are kept here. The area of the biggest Malta mall, Ski resort , and The Poznan Zoo. In winter they let it dry out , for cleaning purpose i guess.
A great location to walk. Very long, clean, and maintained path. Road noise is not too loud and is not audible in most.locations. Frequent benches and resting spots. Some eateries close by.
Very nice place. Best for people who love to have ME time too. Peaceful place. Cycling and runners is a must go.
Nice place to have a walk and relax. On the shore of the lake you can find benches where you can rest and bronze statues with local cultural themes

The Croissant Museum, also known as Rogalowe Muzeum Poznania, is a cultural museum located in a Renaissance tenement house. It is dedicated to showcasing the history of baking croissants, particularly the traditional St. Martin's croissant. Visitors can participate in interactive displays and exhibits to learn about the secrets of making this special pastry. The museum offers an experiential opportunity to bake their own unique Poznan specialty, the St.
Nice experience. The lecture about Poznań and the history of croissants is humorously led by young guides and is definitely worth a visit. We also got to taste a croissant. You can also sign up as a volunteer and participate in the production of a croissant. We bought the tickets online.

Very nice and fun activity. The guy doing the show were really lovely and funny so it’s definetly a time you’ll enjoy. They tell about the origins of this tradition and explain how to make yourself a St Martin croissant. At the end, you have. A privileged view to the goats show on the town hill clock. I recommend this experience if you have time to spare in Poznan.
The Rogalowe croissant museum in Poznan, Poland is a fast paced talk, delivered with humour & lots of information.
We found out the history of St. Martin & then how this very special croissant is made.
It is interactive but not for the whole audience. They like to have between 6-8 helpers who complete different stages of the process of the croissant making.
I have to let you into a secret that I did not enjoy the flavour of the croissant but knowing where it originates from more than made up for it.
The St. Martin's croissant making experience is great fun! Suitable for all ages, very entertaining and well presented, and everyone gets to have a turn if they want to participate.
The experience is very sensory friendly and child friendly, as they allow visitors to move around, leave the room for a bit, or take part in the class as they wish. Both hosts were knowledgeable and funny, they presented the history and tradition of these little pastries very well, and at the end of the class everyone got to taste a bit as well.
There's also a great view of the town hall goats, if you join the 2pm class. Definitely book ahead though, as it does tend to sell out.
An entertaining experience and not what I had expected. The two guys running it were fun, made jokes and got the audience involved. From a little bit of history, to local dialect, to how they are made. 14:00 was the English version which was basically most nationalities that do not understand Polish. Worth a visit and definitely a nice way of spending an hour.
We went to the croissant museum and it was so fun! The guys are funny when they’re explaining the history of the croissant. They let us take photos of the town square and it was beautiful. Highly recommend! The croissants were delicious
Did English language show. Very fun, interactive, and funny hosts. Family friendly and good way to get out of rainy weather!
Buy tickets in advance online.
A very humorous and interactive experience. You get a sample of the St Martin croissant at the end. Hosts had good English and command. Pricey for the experience but overall enjoyed it.

The Imperial Castle, constructed between 1905 and 1910, is a prominent cultural center with bars, eateries, a museum, and tours. It's a favorite spot for photography enthusiasts due to its picturesque features like the Fountain of the Lions in the garden area. The castle's facade is adorned with intricate bas-reliefs depicting scenes from folklore and symbolic figures. Unlike most European cities that have one imperial castle, Poznan boasts two: the Royal Castle and the Imperial Castle.
A great place to visit in Poznań!
You can walk around and explore it yourself.
On the first floor, there are often interesting exhibitions.
Upstairs, you’ll find a cozy cinema, a charming bookstore, and a lovely café with an amazing atmosphere. Definitely this place is worth stopping by if you’re in the area because of its history and the exhibition on the matter!

A modern / historic building with an interesting history.
Beautiful rooms, but most are empty or display art / photography.
This due to the building being converted and restored over the past 100 years. A lot of original furniture has been destroyed during various transitions of power.
Lots of toilets and cloak rooms to store outer garments. I found the building to be warm.
Very cheap entry tickets, I saw lifts and platform lifts for wheelchairs.
Also a small cafe is on site.
There is also a cinema situated within the building.
Some small gardens outside, which were free to enter.
I didn't see any parking.
I saw braille maps and signs or description in. braille in every room.
You can also pay for an audio tours.
From the outside, the castle looks nice, and the gardens, though small, are open to the public, which is a great option. However, the interior didn’t impress me. Navigation is unclear even with a map, and there are many doors likely rented out to third parties, which takes away from the castle atmosphere. Overall, it feels quite empty and not very engaging. The terrace with a city view was closed, probably unavailable during winter months.
Very nice place to visit. Castle with not the best history. Interiors of the castle is quite empty but we enjoyed walk around and spent some time in back garden. We didn't pay as there was nobody at the entrance and garden or park is free for everyone.
Very nice castle with mix of old and new. The tickets are well priced and you can get an audio guide. The castle is much bigger than it appears. It took about an hour and a half to walk the entire tour. I highly recommend using the audio guide to give you an idea of the history of the building.
Definitely worth the visit! Great views with a lot to see. Tickets are so cheap for what you gain on this experience
A very beautiful castle with a pretty garden. And the tickets are free! You only pay if you want to rent the audio guide, otherwise you are free to enter from entrance B or entrance C free of charge :D
Really beautiful and historic place. Not very crowded and nicely located, as you can walk there from the main square. Highly recommend if you like architecture.

Cafe
Stragan Kawiarnia started as a coffee spot in a shopping mall in Poznan in 2011 and has now evolved into a standalone cafe with a modern interior and top-notch equipment. The cafe features a beautiful Victoria Arduino Black Eagle coffee machine, Mahlkonig and Nuova Simonelli grinders, and a long brew bar where skilled baristas craft drip or AeroPress coffee.
Fantastic café! The staff were attentive and energetic. The specialty coffee was amazing, the Aeropress was prepared perfectly.
The standout however was the massive bagels, enough to fill you up for the day. They're made fresh with high-quality ingredients that are packed with flavour.
Can't recommend this spot enough as a great way to start your day.
Tom I — Google review
Visited here twice while I was in this city.
Lots of sunlight in the cafe made it great place to visit in the morning. I had coffee and bagel, and sandwiches. They were fresh!
Always full with people but not too much to interrupt peaceful mornings. vibrant place!
A nice little café with good coffee and snacks. The bagels weren’t quite like traditional bagels, but they still tasted good. Overall, they serve tasty food and coffee, making it a pleasant spot to stop.
A great place to start the day! The breakfast is delicious – especially the fresh bagel paired with a really good coffee. The atmosphere is pleasant and the staff are incredibly friendly. I’ll definitely be coming back!
A very nice place. Inside is very quiet and you can't hear noise from the street.
I've got matcha and basic bagel + extra bacon and it was all very tasty :>
Their V60 was good, not too sweet but semi-sweet flavors. Comfortable seat. I enjoyed reading there.
I spent a month in Poznan, and the lovely ladies at this cafe kept me caffeinated the whole time. Friendly smiles, beautiful flat whites, and tasty bagels - what more could you ask for?
Popped in early one morning (a lot of places nearer the Old Town Square don’t open until 10am and this opens at 8am) to get a latte to go and it was great. Next time I’d double up on the espresso but the latte was great even without that. Would recommend :)

Brewery
Brovaria, established in 2004 in Poznan, is a unique establishment that combines a brewery, restaurant, and hotel. Situated on the historic Market Square in the Old Town, it boasts elegant interiors preserving traditional decor. The venue offers a sophisticated restaurant and brewery along with complimentary Wi-Fi.

I'm no beer expert, but wow — everything I tried here was amazing!
I asked to try something unique, and they gave me a tasting set of three beers they brew themselves. I genuinely loved all of them!
I also asked for a little something to go with the beer, and their recommendation was perfect.
Super friendly staff, great vibes, and delicious craft beer. Definitely coming back!

Spent two nights in this beautiful hotel in the Old Market Square. The hotel is fantastic as is the brewery, bar and restaurant. Breakfast and evening meal were first class. Happy hour on the outside terrace is a lovely touch. Staff were very helpful and friendly. A special shout out for the manager Patrick who went out of his way for us. Unfortunately Hibs got beaten at the football you cannot win them all. We highly recommend this hotel. Tam and Laura from Edinburgh
A very nice boutique hotel on the main square with very good prices for what you get. At the hotel there is a restaurant with a bar who brew their own beer (you see a piece in the restaurant upstairs). But the really cherry on the top of it is the receptionist Patryk. Such a nice, warm person with a good humor and a human touch of everything. A BIG thanks to him for everything what he did that our stay in Poznan was perfect...keep that good work and I next time I definitly stay at the hotel again 💪
This review is for the restaurant only. Not th hotel. Food was excellent, both in flavor and presentation. The ribs were tender and the salmon was balanced.
Karina, our server, was polite and checked in on us regularly. My only critique with the food is the extra hot sauce I ordered. It was not hot nor spicy in any way -- and I paid extra for it. Other than that, excellent restaurant with a good beer selection and great customer service!
Great hotel in the best location. Patryk and staff made us very welcome. What a treat to stay in a hotel, that has a brewery and a great restaurant. It's located on the central square, which is drop dead gorgeous and convenient for exploring Poznan.
Brovaria
In October 2025 we stayed in Brovaria for almost one week. We found that the greeting on arrival and ongoing service from the management, Reception and restaurant/bar team was exceptional – pleasant, proactive and informative. No request was too much trouble and there was a ‘Can do’ attitude throughout our stay.
It is important to note that, as an older style of building, there is no lift but, again, this wasn’t an issue as our luggage was carried up to our room. The room was large, comfortable and had pretty well everything we needed. The hotel spent a period of time out of service for renovations and this is certainly very apparent – the décor is superb.
With several rooms available for dining and/or drinking, we had little problem arranging suitable times to take our meals. We would certainly recommend the bar at the front of the building as well as the cellar bar/restaurant and breakfast/ lunch dining area. The room to aim for, however, especially for dinner, is the beer hall – so called because that is where the brewery is situated.
As a restaurant (offering formal or casual dining), an hotel or a bar, Brovaria is to be recommended. Excellent service is on offer throughout the establishment.
We look forward to staying there again, the next time we’re in Poznan. Thank you to the entire team.
Beautiful hotel in a great central location in the main square.
We were there for a week and had breakfast in the hotel every day, ate in the restaurant and had drinks in the bars. The hotel has it's own brewery so we sampled the beers.
The staff were all brilliant, very welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable. A special thanks to the reception staff who gave us tips on places to visit and how to get around Poznan. A very enjoyable week and would recommend this hotel to anyone thinking of visiting Poznan.
Ideally situated in the beautiful old market square within a short walk of bars, restaurants, museums, shops and public transport. The food is excellent with plenty of choice, the rooms nicely appointed, clean and bright. The staff are friendly and helpful. Couldn’t fault it.

Na Winklu is a cozy restaurant located near the cathedral in Poznan, known for its delicious homemade pierogies. The casual eatery also offers a selection of beer, coffee, and desserts. Visitors rave about the friendly service and recommend making reservations to secure a seat at this popular spot. While it's situated a bit further from the city center, many agree that the trip across the Warta river is well worth it for the delectable food served here.
This is a real gem and definitely worth the walk out of the centre of town. We visited after exploring the cathedral island. Service is quick and there are lots of options to choose from.
The dumplings themselves were excellent! We tried boiled pork and baked sauerkraut and mushroom - both were great.

We have tried dumplings in different cities of Poland and this is the best we have ever tried
Nice dough, juicy fillings, mouthwatering sauces
Not to mention the best view watching the church and bridge at the corner
Highly recommended
What a wonderful place with tasty food.
We ordered 3 types of boiled pierogis and all of them were perfect.
Chicken liver, russian and cabbage with mushrooms all of them with fried onion on top what was just perfection.
3 types of sauces to go with that.
Amazing, soft dough.
If you are in Poznań this is a place to eat!
Clean and stylish place with nice and clean toilet.
Great atmosphere and reasonable prices!
DZIĘKUJĘ!
Great place for lunch, both baked and boiled dumplings were delicious. Baked dumplings cheese potatoes and basil. Boiled chicken liver dumplings and cheese potoes😋. The beer was also smooth. Quite a good lunch crowd. Nice view of the saint Peter n Paul church
Best pierogis we’ve ever had. We ordered the boiled pierogies with chicken livers (rich & delicious), and the baked pierogis with chicken, sun dried tomatoes, & gouda, which gave us calzone vibes, yet crispier. So so good. The garlic sauce was divine - very garlicky and creamy. Cannot wait to return to Poznań so we can eat here again.
Perfect place to Go!
It was a recommendation of our tour guide.
We had a very good beatroot carpacchio as a starter and mixed baked dumplins as a main course. Local brewed beer from the owners friend made it Perfect.
Even if it is a moment to Walk from the city center, it‘s absolutely worth.
Really nice place with the best pierogi I have ever eaten. The people are very kind, the music is nice and the food amazing. I will back my next time in Póznan
Nice small restaurant for a typical polsih dish. Enjoyed the meal and eve

Very nice restauration of an old brewery to shopping mall and exposition center. Very tastful and with much respect for the original design. A gem, including the park next to it!

Wonderful, lot of things to see, machines, vehicles and more. Good price, parking is nearby.
It's very spacious, pretty and well-maintained. There are various interesting exhibitions. The playground and farm animal area are of course highlights for little kids.
It's a lovely place to visit even in a hot or rainy day - thanks for the indoor exhibitions.
Great place for a family walk. Interesting exhibitions including old machines, old cars (Polonez, Syrenka, Tarpan), old aeroplanes. Children loved also animals :)
The National Museum of Agriculture in Szreniawa is a fantastic place to visit! The museum is incredibly spacious, offering plenty of room to explore its fascinating exhibits on agriculture and food industry history.

Historical landmark
The Merchants' Houses in Poznan, also known as Domki Budnicze, are a collection of colorful and narrow houses located near the Town Hall. These historic buildings are a prime example of early commercial architecture in Poznan, dating back to the 13th century. Originally constructed from wood, they were used by local merchants to sell everyday items such as salt, candles, and torches.
The entire area of Stary Ranek is a beauty tk behold! The restaurants on the side of the roads are well arranged. Despite the teeming number of tourists, the streets are quite clean. Heard the view is even more majestic at night. You should definitely give it a second look at night.

Stunning architecture. Around this area, people were selling a lot of magnets. Super cute.
There are colourful, old merchants' houses on all four sides of Old Market Square, and in a row behind the Town Hall.
Beautiful houses, there are some people selling postcards and things like that. Not amazing as it is made to seem like.

Nice architecture. The museum is quite small but has interesting objects shown. The staff spoke English, however the text is in polish (we used our phones to translate so it didn't change much).
My first visit in Poland was Pozńan. It was closed at 16:00, but I arrived at 15:30 p.m. The observatory was over, but I asked them to let me see it politely, and I could see beautiful old city in Poznań. Finally I came down after watching it before 16:00(relief) There's no need for words. It's so beautiful!!! beautiful!
We went on a Sunday and I don't know why but the staff told us it was free entry that day. Very nice view from the roof and a lot of interesting items throughout the museum. Cloakrooms staff were rude, but everyone else working there was lovely.
The view was standing and it was cheap as well. It wasnt busy at all which I loved. I went to the roof for the view on a sunday at rougly 4 o clock.
The museum itself is quite nice however the service was poor. The workers seemed quite angry as if they didn't want to be there, security follows you around literally everywhere aka. Your being stalked, the lift to the tower was broken and toilets on the first floor shut down.
The views from the top of the tower are okay. The elevator was not working, so we had to walk. The staff were unapproachable and the exhibits underwhelming. Only worth visiting for the view from the top of the tower. It was not busy, which suggests how underwhelming it is.
Firstly, to my surprise & delight, entrance is free on a Tuesday. If you go up to the top of the Tower, onto the outside terrace, you get good views of the Old Town and beyond. A lift takes you up 6 floors and then it's just a few steps to the top.
The exhibition of artifacts itself is very good and I particularly like the way they've designed the lighting, many glass cabinets of internal lighting or spotlights directed from high above. This really cuts down or eliminates back refection in the glass which often interfers with viewing/photographing items.
The collection covers furniture, ceramics, glass & metal, weapons, jewellery etc. Items presented here cover a period from middle ages to modern times. The other thing to mention is that information on the exhibits is also given in English.

Jazz club
Blue Note Jazz Club is a renowned venue located in Poznan, offering live jazz performances by both local and international musicians. Situated in the basement of the Cultural Centre Zamek, it provides a relaxing atmosphere for enjoying various non-commercial music genres. The club also hosts well-known acts from other musical styles, making it a versatile destination for music enthusiasts.
I was pleasantly surprised to find, in contrast to the ticket stating "Standing only", the concert was seated, with seats around tables all facing forward. It was great to get a couple of seats relatively near the front despite arriving only 15 mins before showtime. Staff were friendly and helpful and there was a very good selection of drinks at the bar. I liked the calm relaxed atmosphere and friendly crowd as we watched Braxton Cooke, the audience being very appreciative of the music, and the great show.

Iconic watering hole with live band. If you are into Jazz and such classy music, this is a must go-to joint, although there's not necessarily Jazz every night.
What needs improvement? The tables and chairs are too packed it's almost a fire hazard. The bartender also takes quite a bit of time to make drinks, even a straight-up whiskey, neat.
The Jazz Mecca in Poland. This is one of those places that needs to be put on a bucket list. Famous Jazz musicians swing by and this place is never the same. The atmosphere is electric. Just today I had a pleasure to see and listen to Jan „Ptaszyn” Wróblewski, the legend himself, and his quartet. Blue Note was packed and rightly so. When travelling to Poznań, one needs to stop by the Blue Note for a Jazz venue.
We were on several concerts here and everytime it is a top level event! Highly recommended for great music and bar!
Great atmosphere, music and cheap but quality drinks! Definitely recommend a visit there
Live Jazz music from children to adults. Nice, very nice. Just listen from those people. Real artists with a spirit
Great atmosphere for live jazz concerts.
The only problem is that it's often hard to get seats and you need to stand.
Also the concert was supposed to start at 8pm but started 45 minutes too late. When you have to stand - it's really hard.
Still - recommended.
Quite nice place. Small but cosy. Serves beer and drinks. Definitely the place to come for live music events - there are always many available and are very diverse. One thing that bothers me is that the quality of sound is not consistent and happens to be worse from time to time.

City Hall
Poznan's Town Hall, a 14th-century marvel with a stunning gothic facade and ornate entrance hall, is steeped in history. Inside the Historical Museum of Poznan awaits, offering an immersive journey through the city's past. The nearby City Church of St. Stanislav and Lady boasts beautiful baroque architecture and often serenades passersby with its famous organs. The Imperial Castle also holds intriguing historical significance.
Poznań Town Hall, located in the city’s Old Market Square, is a stunning Renaissance building dating back to the 16th century. Famous for its mechanical goats that emerge from the clock tower at noon, it houses the Poznań Town Hall Museum and is a key architectural landmark in the city. The building is known for its intricate design and historical significance.
According to the story, a cook at the Town Hall accidentally burned the dinner he was preparing for the town’s important officials. As punishment, he was thrown out of the building and onto the Market Square. In retaliation, the cook reportedly climbed the tower and installed two goats that would appear each day at noon, butting heads as a humorous reminder of his mishap.
The goats have since become an iconic part of Poznań's Town Hall, with the tradition lasting for centuries.

I recently visited Hall Town in Poznań and had a really good time! The place is spacious, clean, and well-organized. I went there for a small local event and was impressed with how professional everything looked. The staff were super friendly and helpful — they answered all my questions with a smile.
The building itself is modern and has a nice atmosphere. It’s perfect for events, meetings, or even just hanging out with friends. I liked the lighting inside — it felt cozy but also fresh and bright. The bathrooms were very clean, which is always a big plus.
There’s also a little café area where you can grab a coffee or snack. Prices were fair, and the quality was good.
The location is great too — not far from the city center, and it’s easy to get there by public transport.
Overall, I would definitely recommend Hall Town to anyone looking for a cool place for events or gatherings in Poznań. I’ll be happy to come back in the future!
Interesting historial building. Every day at noon two metal goats appear through a pair of small doors above the clock and butt their horns together 12 times, in deference to an old legend.
Wonderfully decorated. It was lots of fun to attempt translating the latin inscriptions “Execute judgment and justice, and deliver the oppressed from the hand of the oppressor; do not wrong the stranger, the orphan, or the widow.”
Stary Rynek is a very picturesque town square, typical of Polish towns and cities. The Town Hall is its centrepiece and tourists flock to watch the 1200 show every day.
Loved seeing the goats come out at 12pm, bit of a novelty and there was a lovely atmosphere in the square.
The museum is free on Tuesdays so we popped in for a look, it was interesting but difficult for non-Polish speakers and not very child-friendly.
#EuroTrip2025
Just nice to visit on Tuesday, free museum entry. 2 goats will come out at 12 noon, it's amusing to watch.
The Town Hall in Poznań is stunning! The architecture is beautiful, and the historic details are impressive. Don’t miss the goats coming out at 12:00—it’s a fun and unique sight! A must-visit for anyone in Poznan!

Ratuszova Restauracja & Apartamenty A.D. 1954 is a refined restaurant located in a Renaissance tenement house in the historical heart of Poznan. The interiors are adorned with magnificent frescos and elaborate murals, creating an atmosphere akin to dining in a palace. The menu features traditional Polish dishes, such as prime sirloin tartare and duck baked with apples.
This was the best restaurant meal we have enjoyed in many years. It truly was exceptional!
We had travelled to Poznan for a 4 night break with our friends. As it was their 31st wedding anniversary on our second night we decided that we wanted a special meal. A UK based friend who is originally from Poznan recommended the RATUSZOVA Restaurant.
We were not disappointed!
The food was interesting, visually stunning, beautifully cooked and so so tasty.
Honestly, my steak melted in my mouth.
Our waitress was sensitive, attentive and helped to make this an amazing 5 star experience!
Our meal cost us 1300 zloty in total: the equivalent of £65/€70 each person!
It was truly a bargain at that price!
I don’t think Poznan can offer a better dining experience!
A huge ‘Thank You’ to the chef and other kitchen and waiting staff at RATUSZOVA.
If we come back to Poznan, we will definitely be coming back to you!

Great location and friendly staff. We had the lunch offer for 49 zl pp, which was well composed with a good soup as a starter and to main course we got duck. Heated plates to the main course and an amuse-bouche to start with, shows they care about the guests.
Location was great! Easy check in, but keep in mind that you will be getting your check in at the restaurant, if you get there after hours, you’ll not be able to do so. Also these are historical buildings, meaning no elevator.
Comfortable bed, regular in room amenities.
Highly recommend.
We stayed in one of the apartments for 2 nights and ate the restaurant twice. Both were superb!
Restaurant: elevated Polish dishes, the best sour rye/żurek soup I’ve ever had, and friendly staff.
Apartment #1: Wow! Massive and modern with 2 rooms and a big bathroom. Overlooking the square but quiet at night. Strong air conditioning. We loved it and would highly recommend it.
Nice apartament, I’d recommend it — but breakfast was a bit of a letdown. It came in a takeaway basket, all cold, and no coffee. There was an omelette meant to be heated in the microwave, but I don’t like microwave meals.
Great restaurant with great views to the main square at medieval Poznan, great vibe and great food. We asked the waitress for recommendations and everything was tasty. She also was very friendly and polite. The prices are a bit higher but I’d say it’s worth it..
We had the most delicious meal at Ratuszova during our holiday in Poznan! It was so good we returned again two days later -- the food, the service, and the ambiance are unmatched. Don't miss this beautiful restaurant!
The best meal we ever had !! Explosion of flavours, delicious, so well presented and amazing service by Adrian. You must visit this place in the beautiful centre of the city :D !!

Park Cytadela in Poznan is not just a simple park, but also an open-air gallery with sculptures by various artists and part of the fortifications from the Prussian era. It's a valuable place for nature and biodiversity, making it popular for picnics and leisurely strolls. The park houses the historic Cytadela Fort from the 19th century and remnants of the former military fortress.
Enormous park not too far from the city center. Super great playground
So many things for kids plus lots of art all over the park!
Very green and it even has a museum with planes and tanks from world war 2.
Interesting a d funny looking restaurante/bar next to the biggest playground
You can even get pizza to go. In imagine that during summer the place must be packed.

Really large and nice park with lots to see. There’s some mobile ice cream and coffee places. The park could however use some maintenance in terms of grass cutting. It would also be nice to have more places to sit.
A really great park where u can let yourself get lost in. Truly amazing to visit. I spent half of day here by myself and it was really nice. There are a lot of historical spots related to the first and second world war, as well as cemeteries with unknown soldiers. Nice places for picnic, for biking, there are even some terraces really cosy and friendly. Very very nice, definitely one of the most beautiful things to see in Poznan!
Beautiful memorial park for sure. It’s worth the visit. The escapees from the great escape are buried here.
A massive park next to Poznań old town. So many walking trails to do, play areas, public gyms, cafés, bars, gardens, statues, memorials, an amphitheatre and even a war museum displaying tanks and aeroplanes. So much to do here whether it's a quick walk or a family day out. The history of this place is everywhere. Definitely recommend.
A big park, good for a walk in nature. There is also a armour or tank museum.
The park is quite big, you can easily spend hours there.
Beautiful,enormous park. What a shame everything is only described in Polish. I didn't realise I was visiting former POW camps! Impressive. Signs would also be good,especially for the Nierozpoznani statues. There were several people looking for places. The Umberto restaurant is fantastic with a lot of choice for vegans and vegetarians
Nice place. Quite large. Pretty clean. They had a handful of bike cafés. It was nice to sit on the grass and enjoy the spring in the trees.

Disappointing. The café is fantastic,with furniture and deco from many cultures,fantastic cake and coffee,but there is no explanation, no plan offered at the entrance,everything just in Polish. The plants are well kept and very interesting,I also enjoyed seeing the fish,but the marketing could be way better. Not sure how well the animals are treated,the big fish should have much more space
It was a really awesome experience for me, I loved everything about this place! Everything was so beautiful and the most important things had their own signs explaining where they’re form and which animals pollinate them. I even saw a tiny pineapple (in one of the pictures below) which honestly was kinda adorable. The aquarium section was not too big and not too small, and there was only one display unavailable. I wish I could’ve stayed longer but I was in a slight rush. Overall really nice place, would come again, 10/10!
Palmiarnia Poznańska is a beautiful palm house and botanical garden located in Wilson Park in Poznań. It showcases a wide variety of plants from tropical and subtropical climates. During my visit, they had a butterfly exhibition, which was both interesting and enjoyable. I believe the Palm House is one of Poznań’s most popular attractions and a must-see for plant and botanic lovers.
Enjoyed going around the place - kids (9yr and 4 yr olds) were well engaged the whole time. Well spent 1.5-2hrs! Can get a bit too full during weekends / holidays.
One downside - all information about different plants / animals were in Polish - hence we could just guess or use Google translate.
Splendid botanical garden, plenty of different plants and flowers, not too busy and inexpensive. Nice coffee place.
Gorgeous site. Never expected a place like this in the middle of Poland. I did my engagement proposal here and all I really can say is that the staff is amazing and incredibly nice, special thanks to the manager Aleksandra Tomczyk for being so helpful.
If you like feeling like you're in a tropical land for a bit, this place might help.
It was an absolutely gorgeous place to spend a couple of hours. The entry ticket was so cheap, and it even covered access to an aquarium. We were seriously impressed by the variety of plants here. The cute cafe was lovely, but the attitude of the staff could be better.
Overall, the botanical garden is such a delight!

Poznań Cathedral, located on the historic Ostrow Tumski island in Poznań, Poland, is a grand Roman Catholic place of worship with a mix of architectural styles including Gothic and Baroque elements. The cathedral features a monumental double-towered structure and has undergone reconstruction after being damaged in 1945. It houses the crypt where early Polish kings were buried and showcases relics dating back to the 10th century.
What an amazing spiritual experience! Please take time to go through the altars and read the description. It was very peaceful.
Aditya T — Google review
The church is beautiful and truly impressive, absolutely worth visiting and admiring inside and outside.
However, I do NOT recommend paying the 7 zloty to see the crypt: there is hardly anything to look at, you walk through it in a minute, and it doesn’t really add much value.
A very peaceful place. Great architecture. You can come in and just sit down and see everything there is to see give yourself a self-guided tour. On the outside you can walk around as well and read the different signs it's very interesting.
Definitely worth visiting, especially on a weekday morning when a morning mass is said in a side chapel. A very serene and prayerful place, of very high historical significance, being the burial place of the first few Polish kings.
Beautiful architecture and interior. Definitely recommend going into the crypts in the basement (7zł per person) to see the oldest parts and the buried archbishops. Definitely recommend
The cathedral in Poznań, together with a visit to Cathedral Island and the museum, is an absolute must-see in Poland. It holds the utmost importance for anyone interested in Polish history, reaching back to the year 966 – the time of the first ruler and the beginning of Polish Christianity.
For me, it also explains why Polish society remains so deeply connected with the Christian tradition.
I was happy I could get in here after 6pm, even though the store was already closed. It was very dark,but one could see the beautiful modern glass stained windows and the altar,also the chapel with the Polish saints.
he Sint-Petrus-en-Paulusbasiliek in Poznań is one of the most interesting churches I've ever seen. The contrast between the deep, dark tones and the lavish gold detailing creates an atmosphere that feels almost otherworldly. It has a dramatic, almost mystical presence that sets it apart from many other churches.
Walking inside, you’re immediately struck by the richness of the interior. The golden accents shine beautifully against the darker surroundings, giving the whole place a sense of grandeur and mystery. It’s definitely a must-visit for anyone who appreciates unique and atmospheric church architecture. Also the red bridge outside combines well with it I think.

Really friendly staff who were happy to help! The exhibition is so well done, the audio guide gives you a whistle stop tour of the museum but also gives you the opportunity to explore each room independently. You can scan each area with your guide and it gives you more in depth audio about. Also had a gorgeous little cafe, again with the loveliest staff!

Brama Poznania is a modern museum located in the heart of Ostrów Tumski, the historic island in Poznań. It serves as an interactive exhibition space that explores the history of the city, particularly its origins, development, and role in Polish history. It’s an essential stop for anyone interested in the city’s history.
A must-see in Poznań!
This museum is best experienced together with a visit to Cathedral Island, as the two complement each other perfectly. I spent about 3 hours here, and it was absolutely worth it. The exhibitions take you back to the very roots of Polish history – to 966, the first kingdom, and the Piast dynasty.
The museum is very well organized, with timed entry every 20 minutes to avoid crowding. The audio guide is outstanding – modern, precise, and interactive. It uses your location inside the exhibition to guide you seamlessly from one point to the next.
A super museum that really brings Polish history to life!
I visited Brama Pozania (Poland's gate) and I absolutely loved it. The museum present many exhibits and the audio tour is available in a variety of languages. The audio tour is also interactive as it gives you many things to do and exhibits to see. It is not too hard to navigate between the different exhibits since the audio tour walks you through the museum in a step-by-step manner and is easy to follow. The restaurant there is a but small and doesn't provide many options so you are better off eating somewhere else. Also, make sure that you go on a sunny day since you can take pictures on a terrace and the rain may not make you picture pretty!
delicious place! we spent 2 hours there on an interactive tour with an audio guide. there are few historical exhibits, but there are film modules in each room. I learned much more about King Przemysław - who was actually as important as the other great kings of Poland. I highly recommend it, even to those who are not interested in history, to understand what the beginnings of the Polish Country were like.
The Brama Poznania Museum in Poznań offers a delightful experience for visitors. Its exhibits provide a fascinating glimpse into the city's history, while the interactive displays add an engaging element to the visit. The staff are helpful and knowledgeable, enhancing the overall experience. It's definitely worth a visit if you're in Poznań!
Really excellent high tech multimedia exhibition taking you through the history of Cathedral Island and beyond. I would actually recommend coming here before visiting the Archdiocesan Museum or Cathedral as you'll pick up information from the audio guide and videos about both these places. The smart audio guide knows where you are and automatically plays a commentary for that area. Additionally if you more information about any exhibit you can point audio guide at the headphones symbol and press play. Good views from the terrace on the roof of the building and after you've completed your tour, head across the glass sides bridge to the Cathedral Lock.
Great museum! Got the tram from hotel here and walked about 5 mins to get to the museum. Can't remember cost of entrance but it was cheap and included audio guide and an audio guide for the cathedral also. Spent maybe 2 hrs here and really enjoyed it ! Very informative, interactive and fun! Nice observation deck near the end of self guided tour also. don't have kids, but it's great for kids with lots of kids educational play areas also! If in Poznan I wouldn't miss this one!

This is the place to come and feel cozy. Do you miss that time from childhood where your mom decided you needed to be pampered and feel like royalty? This place will bring that back. There are warm blankets on the chairs, and the hot chocolate is thick like syrup, the way you probably would have made it yourself as a kid if left to your own devices. There’s cake! There’s soft padded benches! There’s an upstairs that you can probably reserve for a party! Come and try out Cacao Republika!

The place, food, price and service everything is super nice. I really recommend to try here specially tart, tiramisu and hot chocolate 😌
A cosy and nice cafe serves one of the best hot chocolate in the city.
There are 2 floors, and it is better to make a reservation in advance if you would like to have a window seat.
Quite full when arrive there around 5pm.
People keep coming.
Hot chocolate is very good,creamy and rich. There are classic hot chocolate or special ones with chilli powder.
Also they provides hot chocolate with liquior.
It was okay, nothing much is super. Price is quite high expensive for the ice cream!
The hot chocolate here is to die for !! I had the Amerykanski which was delicious, my friend had the Aztecka which in my opinion was a little too spicy but the additional desert that we ordered balanced it out. We were lucky to come here early, the place gets packed very fast so reservations are necessary if big groups plan to come here 😉.
Love at first sight, cute, beautiful, Cozy, variety of chocolates and coffees, tha apple tart was amazing.
Excellent service, quick, they speak fluent English.
Quick chocolate fantasy satisfaction.
We ordered:
Poznan Choco Muffin
Cossack's Coffee
Pros :
1. Good service.
2. Epic seating arrangement on the upper floor.
3. Great chocolate muffin.
4. Coffee with alcohol. Unique.
Cons :
1. Ice cream with Choco could have been more.
2. Coffee quality could be better.
Best hot chocolate in Poznan!
Lovely place with lots of charm & character.
We visited a couple of times during our stay in Poznan. It was lovely way to round off the evening.

New Zoo is a sprawling 120-hectare zoological garden, making it the second largest in the country. The zoo is renowned for its modern naturalistic habitats and diverse array of animals, including African elephants, giraffes, zebras, Siberian tigers, and European bison. One of its highlights is the aviaries housing a variety of owls and participating in breeding programs for golden eagles.
Super cheap and lots of animals. For 15zl (£3) in winter you get to see elephants, lions, tigers, giraffes, rhinos and many more. The animals also have lots of room and seem well looked after. However, it is quite a long walk all the way around the zoo as the enclosures are big and spaced out and i don’t think the train runs in winter. Overall a good day out. There is a bus stop outside the zoo with buses every half an hour or you can walk 20 minutes to the tram.

There are many exotic animals: loons, tigers, giraffes, zebras, camels, elephants, wolves, red pandas, rhinos etc. The zoo is very big; it feels like taking a walk in the jungle. The animals are in an imitation of their natural environment so they can decide not to show up.
Gorgeous vast space for animals. Loved the elephants, bears, giraffes, camels and bisons. It's so peaceful and quiet there. It's was not overcrowded. It's all in the forest and very natural. We liked the resemblance of natural habitats.
Big zoo with lots of animals. There are also restaurants and snack cars. There is a small train as well. I recommend to not sit in it the whole round but go for a stop or two as you miss a lot when you just sit in it. We went especially for the Manuls, which one likes to sit on the rocks like a model, and the other one liked to hide in a tree. Finally we saw them and were very excited!
I went there yesterday with my friend and spent a few hours walking around and appreciating the beauty of nature.
Only four stars because there were some attractions that closed quickly/weren't available such as elephants or the train around the zoo.
I honestly didn't expect the zoo to be a literal park but I didn't mind it, it added to the atmosphere especially since it's Autumn and all those leafs had its charm.
We didn't experience any queues since our visit was on a weekday (Thursday).
My friend took all of those beautiful photos.
Very large zoo with clean enclosures and lots of animal. Very large parking (you pay) available.
The zoo requires about 3 hours to do full. Lots of stands with food, icecream and beverages available.
Great zoo, it’s so big! The mini train only comes around once per hour so be prepared to walk a lot or wait around! Amazing zoo though was very impressed.
Very large area. Nice animals. A little expensive entrance fee.

I think this the biggest mall in poznan city with alot of store's collection, and with great design also its a very bright at night and always crowded with shoppers, have a great view in the enterance, with a car park and information office
Shopping mall that was designed by fools. On the 2nd floor, there is no simple way down. There is an escalator, but only moving up. You go 100m forward, another escalator, again, only up. You go another 100m forward - the end of the floor, and no way down again.
Nice place to do all your shopping. It's easy to find staff that speaks English.
It's very big, full of options to eat and stores to buy.
Saturdays are usually very crowded, and the stores suffer to handle that many people.
You guys better plan a whole day or two bc that mall is very big and has many great stores that you wont find in every country in europe. I will go again if I have the time and opportunity to go bc Poznań is far but it is super worth it. Love love love ❤️ (and the people who work there are just as great. When i was there it was very hygienic and clean as well so there is nothing I can complain about besides the awkward position of the bathrooms and the escalators but thats rlly not that big of a deal)
All shops are here including my favorite Starbucks! There are many places to sit and relax while charging your phone. Very clean and nice vibe.
Great and world class shopping mall in Poznań! The biggest one so far in Poznan with shops covered in a 100 000 square metres mall. Be sure not to miss it. Recommendation is not to come hungry cause the food court doesn't offer a lot of variety.
It’s a very modern shopping mall and has about everything you need. Masks are mandatory for entrance into the mall, and everyone quite adheres to this.

Great place for a walk and some cycling too
I have not ever seen so many swans in tone place
Such an amazing park
It's an interesting man made lake that was a bit difficult to get to. I took a bus to the outskirts and then headed through the woods following Google maps. Not a good idea as it's easy to get lost that way following the supposed footpaths on the map. It is a bit eerie too so a bit creepy to walk through alone.
One of the nicer places close to Poznań. The lakes really nice though the water weeds often fill the lake so immensely that you can barely swim or fish in it. They do seem to try to reduce it with machinery but it grows back so fast...
PS: To the polish fishermen take your damn rubbish with you when you leave... You're ruining your own recreational activity...
Absolutely marvelous! Great view with plenty of place for jogging and cycling. Just awesome! 😊

Nice city market , not too much to see or taste
Interesting market with vegetables that look like REAL vegetables, not the plastic rubbish we purchase in the supermarkets.
Some other stalls selling domestic items.
The market is full of life with wonderful local fruit and veg, the choice of fresh salads would give you a headache. You can find lots of clothes there like in every market but also regional and unique produce from the Mountains and many many more.
A very complete and cheap market, with diverse shops. You can find vegetables, eggs and spices as well as meat, prepared salads and fish in the neighboring stands. There is a tobacco products stand (rolling tobacco and cigarettes) as well as a choice of clothes, for women mostly.
Love the place. Always crowded, it lives own life and provides not only food but social friendly environment as well. I love the most Marek Zgarda stand. Find it and get his precious goods!!!
It needs work, but it's my stomping grounds so I love it. The market itself has plans for an overhaul, similar to a few Ryneks closer to The center. For now it has a nice variety of vegetables and Nick nacks from all around. Some really great meat shops in the back. Overall a typical Rynek but one that is always busy and has a few flower shops, one of which is 24hrs.
One can buy fresh foods here. Also spice shop, flowers, some second hand clothes shops.

Loved the low key, no frils jazz vibe. Really cheap for the drinks we ordered but sadly the red wine they gave us was undrinkable as it was such poor quality and we didn't have time to try something else afterwards. Would still recommend however.
Based on two people on an afternoon visit for one beer. It's the sort of place you'll love or hate. Unique and quirky. Evenings are no doubt busy and noisy with live music.
We were invited to a wedding in the area, and my husband found this bar with a quick online search. The atmosphere felt cosy, with top cocktails and decent music in the background. My pina coladas were excellent. There were some trendy posters by the entrance, and I believe they host concerts. The mixologist who served us spoke very good English, which helped with the order.
Reminds me of the ruin bars in Budapest. Great beet, quirky decor and great customer service.
Nothing from the outside but man is this bar a hidden gem. Its got some great spaces and character. The beer garden is just brilliant.
Very cozy place, nice aesthetic. The drinks are quite expensive tho
I was very lucky to find this place. The atmosphere is extremely cozy and cool, just like the interior of the bar... the service was excellent, they spoke very good English, which from my previous experience is not so common in the city, and the bartenders were very friendly and helpful. Prices are reasonable for a bar in the center of Poznan.

Czekolada is a popular lounge and cocktail bar in Poznan, known for its trendy and cool atmosphere. It is a favorite spot for young party-goers aged 18-24, offering two dance floors with different music styles. The first floor features mainly Polish hip hop with occasional English songs, while the second floor offers an international mix of techno and other genres.

Extremely unprofessional bouncers, literally mentally unstable. If you go there as a tourist, expect 100% to get ripped both money and atmosphere wise
Do not give your coat here because they will take your money and lose your coat.
I hope there is a lost and found section because the woman at the place where I returned my magnet lost the cap of my coat and told me to come back later. but they are close till thursday
We went for a coffee and the staff were extremely unfriendly and a bit rude to colored skin people. I would never consider visiting again!!!
I do not recommend this place if you want to smoke regular cigarettes. Lady at the ticket counter doesn't seems to be customer friendly. They don't have a smoking zone and they suggests you to go outside for a smoke, but when you return after smoke, they will ask for entry fees again, even if you show them a valid ticket. On the other hand, many other likely people are allowed to go out and come back without interruption. Felt it sort of a racism. Could hardly witness any foreigner there. If you carry E-cigarette, then you might call it your day.
Good luck.
The only decent club in Poznan, been there for 3 nights in a row after being disappointed by Pacha and Cuba libre.
Mostly young people - 18-24 max.
It has two dance floors, the first one is mainly Polish hip hop with the occasional English song.
The 2nd one is more internationally themed, a quite a lot of techno and some nice other songs.
The entrance fee seems to change every night, and so does the price of the drinks?
Overall, a pretty good experience.
Nice deco with 2 floor dance floors. But the crowd was not so good. Some aggressive people and too long waiting time for this. If you want party, come to Berlin 😉
Discriminatory, insulting, and unprofessional entrance. Attended and went to get fresh air from outside, return was denied entrance for reasons that were blatantly false. I do not recommend hosting parties/events at this location. Some people from one's party group may just get turned down by the entrance workers for literally no reason. Personally recommend club Havana just down the street as honestly the better club, and the people working there are awesome and super friendly, unlike czeko.

Located in the picturesque Old Town of Beirut, Shisha Beirut Bar & Restaurant is one of the best places to go if you're into shisha smoking. The bar has over 60 varieties and flavors of shisha to choose from, as well as an opportunity to try ice, rum, wine, or champagne with your water pipe.
Hi there! 😊 We think the most recent review might have been about our group, since we were celebrating a birthday that night. Just to clear things up:
Yes, we did play some music – but it wasn’t only Polish rap. We actually mixed it up with Arabic, Latin, Afro, and Polish music, because we wanted everyone to feel included. After all, we’re in Poland 🇵🇱, so of course Polish music has a place too. One of our friends who was with us is Arab, and even she enjoyed the mix – so it definitely wasn’t about taking away from the atmosphere.
We kept the volume at a normal level, and from what we saw, people around us were also having a good time. Honestly, it feels like you took it a bit too personal, almost as if you know us, when in reality we were just a group of friends celebrating our friends birthday and spreading positive vibes. Making people dance, even offering them to pick any song they like.
We chose this place because we respect the Arabic vibe (the belly dance show was amazing 💃, the food and shisha were great too!) and we knew it would be perfect for a special night. Maybe our styles of fun are different, and that’s okay – but we definitely didn’t come to ruin anything.
For us, it was an unforgettable night, and we’ll happily come back again! 🎉

The waiters are extremely nice and helpful. But in lunchtime the place was too dark to joyfully eat with friends, and - what is worse - the food did not satisfy the expectations in a lebanese restaurant: two typical meals from the Levant of the West Asia such as baba galoush and falafel were quite disappointing, specifically the latter, which had less sauce than necessary (both the couscous and the salad were dry).
I was there few times. Good shishamen, they know their card and could easily recommend what you tell them you expect. Many flavors. Inside - local is very climatic, clean. There is an air conditioning.
Shisha and drink were ok but the food is very disappointing to disgusting at some point. Hummus is not hummus its Tahini. Labne is not Labne it taste more cheese. The kafta taste like cheap meat . Chicken dry without garlic dip which is the basic. Fattouch is not fattouch its some kind of a salad mixture but eatable. Bread is old. Cheese manouche is horrible with the smelly salty cheese.
Food has nothing to do with Lebanon!!! 👎
The restaurant looks good, but the problem is that you go to an Arabic bar to experience the Arabic atmosphere and you hear polish rap. For me, it was too much. Some girls changed the music to terrible. We left in disgust. The food was good, but we also had to wait an hour. If you want to create an Arabic restaurant, don't ruin it like this and don't give these girls access to music:)
+for belly dance, the girls were wonderful🥰
I’m always going there with my bestie and we are amazed by the service of the Shisha. The shisha lasts for 2 or 3 hours due to the Shisha men who are taking care of the coal. Great music, amazing vibe and belly dance evenings are incredibly worth to watch ❤️
The best shisha bar in Poznan! Definitely if you want to go and have shish in relaxing place come here. It's very climatic and there is big choice of flavours
Amazing food in Polish land, great service and very friendly people. Definitely worth coming

The church is beautiful in and out, very calm place to sit and just meditate. There’s a Marian grotto in front of the church and there’s s a very big cross too on the other side. Mass celebrations are always concise however, the only downside to all these is that no English is spoken 🥲🥲, regardless, still a beautiful place
Beautiful mass and songs

Visitors praise the international-friendly atmosphere and the excellent bartenders, particularly mentioning Mary and Vasyl for their great service and delicious drinks. It's a recommended spot for a fun night out with good music, friendly staff, and an overall enjoyable experience.
Cuba libre One of the best I've ever been to, the music is so good it's fun to dance, not only Latin is played here, but also African Indian music, so many foreigners come here, if you're a foreigner, just visit this club u will enjoyed it! So crowded it's fun.

The music selection was fantastic, with a great mix of salsa, bachata, merengue, and other Latin rhythms. The DJs were skilled, keeping the energy high and the crowd engaged throughout the night. The dance instructors were knowledgeable and patient, offering classes and workshops for all levels.
Cuba Libre Latin Dance Club in Poland exceeded my expectations in every way. Whether you're a seasoned dancer or just looking for a fun night out, this club has something for everyone. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to experience the excitement and passion of Latin dance.
The club's décor was sleek and modern, with colorful accents and flashing lights that perfectly complemented the lively music. The dance floor was spacious, with plenty of room to move and groove.
Drinks are nicely made and price is okayish. Staff is friendly and speaks english. It does take time to get your drink tho, especially on a busy night. Music is nice but there isn't much space for dancing.
Best club in Poznan! Must go if you're visiting! Bartenders are good music is excellent, they play other music besides Spanish music. Fun times for all!
Great. And interesting place to have fun after a stressful week. Definitely switching over to Saturday party which looks more cooler than Fridays.
On weekends, Dancing is far more better approach to de-stress than getting drunk
It’s not the guests who are aggressive it’s the security. Untrained, over-muscled, and clearly lacking education or basic empathy. Instead of ensuring safety and offering support, they treat people like threats, with arrogance and no understanding of the situation. They act like machines with no emotional intelligence. It’s a shame, because everything else about the place has real potential.
The rest of the team bartenders, club staff, and the people coming to enjoy the night absolutely top-notch. 5 stars for the atmosphere, service, and positive energy. If only the security could match that level, it would be a perfect experience.
Poor service and staff, we went in as a group for student night and lady at reception desk was unpleasant and unwelcoming. In addition, the club was empty and undertaffed at drink bars. The staff previous to my visit was better. The current workers at Cuba Libre are not worth a night of fun. Im sorry to say but I rather party elsewhere at Rynek like Pacha or Czeko. Save your time, money and fun for another club.
Everything is modest, usually, but the picture that impressed me the most was when two guards literally dragged a guy who was drunk and falling asleep, grabbed him and throwing him over chairs and dragging him along the floor. The guy did not rowdy, but simply fell asleep while sitting. From a legal point of view, this is considered excessive or inappropriate use of force, or violence. Even the police have no right to allow themselves this, so judge for yourself whether it is worth spending time in such a place.

Lovely place to go. We had breakfast there and no one was disappointed. Perfect amount of food and drink. Small and cosy 👌
Absolutely lovely little place. The food was great, we sat in their little outdoor garden which was super cosy. Good food in a great location without feeling too touristy. Highly recommend!
Such a charming little café! The interior was absolutely lovely — cozy, calm, and full of thoughtful details that made us feel instantly at home.
We shared a few plates and were blown away by the delicious cheese selection, paired with fresh, quality bread. The generous amount of greens on the side was a beautiful touch fresh, vibrant, and full of flavor.
And the cake? Simply divine! A truly delightful spot that we’ll definitely come back to.

Jakub K — Google review
We went here hoping to experience the Polish cuisine. The food was tasty, but it all felt more like a snack bar. You have to order your food at the bar and pay immediately. We wanted to have a starter first and then mains but the menu doesn’t really take starters into account. So we opted for a kids soup (which is half a portion) and as mains we went for jacked potato.
I ordered and payed and before I even was back at the table the soup was already served. And halfway the soup the waiter brought our mains. It all felt so rushed, 20 minutes in and we were done with our food.
It was tasty and good, but if I you want a restaurant setting I’d recommend going somewhere else. This is more functional food.
My favorite place to eat in Poznań! The staff was super friendly and easy to talk to, the food was amazing, and even the lemonade was great. I had the potatoes with herrings and was really satisfied. The prices are great too, very cheap for the quality. If I ever come back to Poznań, I’ll definitely return to Pyra Bar!
Employees very friendly and helpful, they speak English. The place is very nice decorated, one has to order in the bar and then they take the food to your table, the place has 2 floors, a lot of space inside and a lovely space outside for sunny days. Food was ready in 10 min or less, We payed 26€ for one soup of the day, one (small) Wegenerator casserole, one Szare ale jarskie, one cola and 1 beer. Pretty reasonable price.
More than 10 vegetarian options available.
The bathroom is clean and nice, the music is not too loud, and the portions are very full filling.
I recommend trying this place.

This place is simply WOW! Food was amazing amazing and one more time amazing😍 plus prices are very pocket friendly. Go and stuff yourselves with pyra's (potatoes) yum yum yum

This quaint zoo has roots dating back to 1874 and offers visitors a peaceful retreat filled with well-kept paths and lush greenery.
The entrance is for free. It’s not really a proper zoo anymore but there are still a lot of animals there to see. Animals are well fed.
Good for kid but I also enjoyed it as an adult :)
Techhong L — Google review
It’s not a zoo anymore. I would call it like an animal park. They can change it to a pet animal or domestic animal park. It’s a definite place for family and kids. A Green lung to the city. It’s open for everyone. My kids enjoyed and I could let them run around because it is safe.
Not much to do on Sunday when shops are all closed and free admission so why not? Not many "real" animals but it's clean and nice to walk around and again, it's free so can't complain :)
They at least tried to showcase some animals even though the real animals probably had day off
Cute zoo, well worth the visit! It had so many different animals to see. The llamas were adorable. And so many turtles hanging around the pond. Loved it. Good activity to pass a few hours with friends, family, or even solo!
Quaint and lovely, a very peaceful place with not only animals but beautiful plants. There's free entry. Some parts are being renovated so it may not be possible to access everything. But definitely worth a visit.
I love EVERYTHING about the Old Zoo, I honestly just love this place. You can watch amazing, exotic animals for free ❤️ there is also a pavilion (payed 6 zlotych/person) where you can see incredible fishes, frogs, snakes and other animals (except for mammals and birds - they are outside the pavilion). Being there is always amazing experience. You can sit on a bench, read book, watch animals and just enjoy the peace and calmness there 😊🍀
Look, it's free and there are some nice animals to see, a couple of playgrounds and a lot of shade.
It's more like a nice park for a picnic than an actual zoo.
Quite cool! Learning about the history through plaques placed around was great (just have Google Translate ready if you're a tourist and don't speak Polish) and it was a nice way to burn an hour or so, especially considering entry was completely free.
Me and my friend did feel that it would be a place better enjoyed by families with children, however it filled up a slot in our itinerary and was definitely worth our short visit!

The town hall museum has quite a lot to discover. It's also free to visit on Tuesdays!
There's a great exhibition on the history of Poznan, and especially the history of the town hall building, to be seen. Including a torture chamber, city plans and maps, and the clock tower goats to see up close!
I quite enjoyed perusing the exhibition.
The Museum of the History of Poznań is fascinating! It gives a detailed look at the city’s past with engaging exhibits and interactive displays. Friendly staff and a well-organized layout make it easy to explore.
Poznań Old Town is charming, full of colorful historic buildings, lively cafes, and beautiful squares. The Town Hall with its famous goats is a must-see, and walking around the cobbled streets is a delight. Both the museum and the Old Town offer a perfect blend of history, culture, and atmosphere.
Very beautiful place! When it’s 12 o’clock, you will see two goats from the bell tower.
What a truly incredible museum. They also have audio tours of their delightful exhibitions in English, and that made the experience even better. I would definitely love to go again.
The townhall in Poznan is so beautiful and amazing, because there is a lot of sculptures, paintings, fresco. And what very liked me, it is the man who playing on pipe. It is going on every hour. And every hour on townhall tower ringing bells. It is something incredible. At evening there is lighting colourful lights and it is seems like cathedra. I was liked this town for his soul.
Beautiful Olt Town Hall with amazing paints on the walls and such beatiful clock tower where everyday at 12PM you can meet two fighting goats under the clock.

I found this restaurant by chance on my first day in Poznań and came back every following day. The food is amazing (and well priced), I especially liked the duck filet! The atmosphere is also nice and the service is on point with a friendly staff. If you pass by, make sure to try their beer out!
Such a charming restaurant with a fun bird theme throughout the place. I had pierogi and a great Polish beer, served by the super friendly staff. You can enjoy a proper, high-quality meal here (prices are very reasonable!) or just meet friends for a relaxed chat in a cozy setting. Definitely a spot I’d love to come back to!
The sorrel soup here is one of the best soups I have ever eaten in my life. I have not yet finished eating it but I have to rave about it here before I forget. So amazing!

Had a wonderful experience at this rustic-style restaurant serving classic cuisine. The cozy, warm atmosphere with wooden accents and soft lighting made it feel so inviting and comfortable. The dishes were beautifully prepared, using high-quality, fresh ingredients — simple, but full of rich, traditional flavors. Every bite felt like comfort food done right.

Additionally, their traditional Polish Borsch soup is a delightful option to accompany your meal.
A nice stop in Poznan who wants to try traditional Polish dishes. Actually we ordered 10 different type of dumplings. I found and tried seven type of it. To me, the most delicious ones are with wild boar and seafood (It has a black layer because of I believe cuttlefish). I think Polish people likes potato. They use this product perfect. Service was so friendly, knowledgable and smiling. Prices could be a bit less than expected but menu variety is very nice.

Good service, Michal was really friendly and patient. All of the staff I spoke to could speak English.
Food was just okay, nothing that blew me away but also nothing that was bad. I tried all of the meat pierogis and some vegetarian ones; the chicken ones were a little bland compared to the seafood, pork and beef ones. The baked ones look pretty different to the photos in the menu, with significantly less filling than advertised. The apricot and peach ice tea was not nice, and made me wish that I had just ordered water instead, but the honey beer was tasty.
Restaurant looks pretty cute inside, however the seating by the bar close to the entrance was pretty tight and not too comfortable. I had to climb in and out of my chair as the tables are very close to each other. The large lamps were hung in an inconvenient position, which made it difficult to see the person across from you. It would be nice if it could be hung higher.
The cute honeycomb station by the entrance was a nice touch. Customers can use a wooden stick to sample some honey or honeycomb.
Most, if not all, of the guests I saw/heard were non-Polish-speaking. It is definitely popular among tourists. It also seems to be pretty family-friendly.
All in all, I would probably not recommend going out of your way to visit this restaurant if you are a foodie. It was an okay experience with its main selling points being its good location, cute interiors, good service, and the ability to mix ‘n’ match pierogis.
Pierogi was ok - had better ones at other places in Poznan. Service was good besides the fact that they mixed up the order and have us potato pierogi instead of the chicken one. But, to their credit, they quickly exchanged ours for the correct one when flagged. The drinks were weak.
The restaurant is located in a nice old building with cozy seating options which made the dinner nicer than it was.
A very charming restaurant all decorated in wood. Portions of pierogi are generous at 50 zloty aprox. Staff are nice but not overy friendly. They can accommodate groups upon reservation. Can definitely recommend!
I visited on my last night in Poland, following a recommendation from someone who lives in Poznań.
I was not disappointed and I enjoyed some amazing food, the staff were warm and friendly and the restaurant is a lovely environment to enjoy a meal.
I was a solo diner, but there were lots of people in groups of different sizes. They were busy (Saturday evening), so I had to wait, just under 10 minutes, but that was no issue and well worth the wait.
After being shown to my seat I was served by Mikołaj who was extremely pleasant and helped me with some of my Polish too (as I am nowhere close to being able to speak Polish well at all).
I dined here on a recommendation, I now recommend the restaurant to everyone reading this review... you will not be disappointed and I am sure to be back next time I visit Poznań.
Dziękuję bardzo 🙏🏻🤗❤️
Delicious pierogies and very polite stuff. Me personally I didn’t like the potato pancakes as they were too oily but my partner had no issue so if you’re not into oily stuff better not order them.
A deeply satisfying experience. They actually bake your pies for you, not pop in the microwave. Friendly service. Very lovely for traditional interior. If only they could stop the piped-in horror music. It’s too loud to enjoy a conversation.
We shared and tried a bunch of different pierogis. All of them had a variety of sauces as well. Meat and veggie options. I think baked chicken pierogi was my favourite 🍗

If you are looking for an interesting, relaxed and comfortable place to have a meal, MO.BAR / Poznań is definitely worth trying out. The burgers are especially delicious and the prices very reasonable. Plus, the service is excellent - always friendly and helpful.
If you ever happen to be in Poznan, Poland do not miss a chance to visit "Mo.Bar" - a real hidden gem, located 5 minutes away from the bustling Poznań - Stary Rynek on a quiet, little road.
The ambience is nice and subtle, making the place interesting for all kinds of meetings - whether it is with family, friends or colleagues. It also is a great chance to either enjoy a cocktail in the evening or have a light lunch or brunch or visit them for coffee and dessert.
The interior is beautiful and nicely decorated. The tables, even though located next to one another, still create an image that you are to yourself. You can take lots of nice photos inside ;)
The service is hospitable and welcoming and the prices are absolutely affordable and reasonable for the quality you get.
The portions are quite big and beautifully served.
Whenever one is in Poland, trying the duck is a must, especially bearing in mind that the Polish are excellent at preparing it. So it was no wonder that the duck leg I ordered at "Mo.Bar" was tender and melting in my mouth. The duck leg came with homemade dumplings, cabbage with pistachios and ratatouille jam. Everything was just in its place and there was a nice hint of various tastes and textures. The cabbage was excellent, bearing in mind, that cabbage can be easily overcooked and this one was exactly as it should have been. The crunchiness of Pistachios was a very nice little touch and the edible flowers and micro-herbs united the whole dish. But what surprised me most was "Sticky Toffee Pudding" which is my personal favourite among the desserts and I can proudly say that the Sticky Toffee Pudding they serve at "Mo.Bar" is one of the best I have ever tried. The gorgeous, rich and delightful sticky toffee pudding with homemade sticky toffee sauce and served with ice cream is an ultimate delight, but the ideally caramelised banana which came with this one added another level to this dessert. The vanilla ice-cream was neutralise the sweetness of the sponge cake and the toffee and the banana and it is one of the desserts for which I will definitely go back to Poznan !
Thus, if you ever happen to be in this beautiful city and want to spend a quite evening and taste delicious food - "Mo.Bar" is the place 💞
Highly Recommend!

If you’re looking for a place in Poznań that combines great food, a cozy yet stylish interior, and well-crafted drinks, MO. Bar is definitely worth checking out. From the moment you step in, the warm atmosphere and aesthetically pleasing design make you feel right at home. Comfortable chairs, thoughtfully arranged tables, and a welcoming staff - all contribute to a great dining experience. I started with French fries with prawns and aioli sauce, and honestly, they were amazing! Perfectly crispy, golden, and reminding me of the best Belgian fries. A must-try combo! Then came the burger with beef, which was just on point - juicy, flavorful, and exactly what you want from a proper burger. And, of course, I couldn’t leave without trying their Sticky Toffee Pudding - a dessert that fully lives up to its reputation. Rich, warm, and indulgent, the perfect sweet ending. For drinks, I went for a *star Martini, and it did not disappoint - fruity, well-balanced, and really enjoyable. To top it off, I had a latte (big size!), which was smooth, creamy, and just what I needed. MO. Bar nails it with both the vibe and the menu. Whether you’re in for drinks, a casual dinner, or just a coffee break, this place is a solid choice. Highly recommend!
Super fast and attentive service. The food was delicious. The drinks were well prepared and flavourful. A really good brunch place close to the old town in Poznan.
Very good place with super talented Chef! Extremely tasty food, reasonable wine selection and friendly service (still on training). Highly recommended place if anyone is looking for amazing food, full of flavour and great ingredients quality! What a pulled duck burger, steak tartar and sticky toffee pudding!!! Bravissimo Chef!!! 👏👏👏
Delicious brunch with great presentation! Helpful and accommodating service - when I asked to add some eggs to my toast they were very kind. Spoke great English too if needed.
I was honestly surprised—in the best way! MO Bar offers a really nice lunch option with a full course of meals included.
We had tartare and chicken, and both were amazing. The tartare isn’t something I usually go for, but it was really impressive. The chicken came with sausages and beans—like a comforting homemade dish, but with a refined restaurant twist. Overall, the food was great and the price was very reasonable.
The only surprise? The zero-alcohol beer I ordered cost almost as much as the whole meal. Still worth it, but unexpected!
We were really impressed with what we got for our money. Very reasonable prices and the food portions are exceptional! The pulled pork burgers are amazing and the fries with various toppings were delicious. We liked their asparagus menu too which were something unique here. We will definitely return. They also had one dessert choice which was my favourite and probably the best sticky toffee I have ever tasted! The atmosphere was great too.
Great environment, friendly service, interesting menu choices and really good food at affordable prices. The pulled pork burgers are very delicious and flavorful. The drinks were properly prepared and tasted amazing. Will be back for sure.

Dumpling restaurant
Pierozak Pierogarnia Wrocławska is a budget-friendly, family-owned pierogi spot that offers a variety of traditional Polish dumplings. The open kitchen allows customers to watch the handmade process, and they offer options for vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free pierogies. In addition to classic flavors, seasonal varieties like pumpkin or poppy seeds with dried fruit are available. Customers can enjoy these warm treats on-site or take them away.
I ordered every item on their menu, making sure to try two of each pierogi and two extra of the meat ones. For a sweet finish, I got one of each of their sweet pierogi.
In total, I ate 26 pierogis, and allowed me to try the variety and discover my favorites. Each pierogi is handmade and freshly prepared on the spot, adding that extra touch of authenticity to the flavors. I will come back here for sure.

the best and cheapest pierogis in poznan! We chose the vegetarian options and they were really, really delicious. Recommended: Sour Creme sauce!… + very friendly service!
The staff member who served us was beyond rude...it was actually hilarious. Mega attitude. It's such a shame because the food was great but we still left with a bad taste in our mouths....and a funny story to share with friends.
Menu board displays items in Polish and English underneath.
They don't serve alcohol.
Pay by cash or card.
Delicious pierogi at reasonable cost and you get to choose as ur taste.
Better than what we had at a traditional milk bar…at least they offer dumplings with a variety of fillings instead of just cheese. We got a type that we didn’t order…but it actually tasted good, so fine…The soup, however, is quite plain and doesn’t worth the price…
Very, very good! Thanks for boiling it fresh each time!
My first time trying pierogi and I was reliably informed by a local that this was the best place to try them. They are freshly made and you can watch staff make them through the window.
10 pieces for 15zlt is a good size snack and a cheap dinner! Choose from many different fillings - you can mix and match if you want to try a few flavours. The dumplings can be served with onions and bacon which gave them more flavour.
Can be very filling so take a hungry belly!
Amongst the best Pierogi, I tasted.
We ordered:
Postne (mushroom + cabbage)
Zielone (spinach + feta cheese + walnuts)
Kozim Serem (Goat Cheese + Potatoes + cumin)
Pros:
1. Pierogi with thin skin. Great flavor. Amongst the best that I had.
2. Cheap. Value for money.
Cons:
1. Service without smile.

We went on a busy Thursday evening around 6:30. Waited around 10 minutes and got a table.
Giant pork chop. Amazing.
Pickle soup. Incredible.
Lemonades. Fantastic.
It’s a warm casual place with delicious foods. Order at the counter, and they deliver the food to the numbered pick on your table. Took me a while to understand the numbered puck. It’s got a sports theme. The menu isn’t very big but they do what they have very well.
The portions are pretty big - they will warm you. Look at the photos before you order too much.
It’s the first pickle soup I’ve found around here and it is done right!
We were able to purchase four Gluten Free meals!!! They were all excellent. The servings were huge. Honestly you could share one plate for two people. We would eat here again.
Absolutely brilliant place. No wonder it was packed! The food was delicious. Don't get put off by the Buddha/ Salad Bowl being the vegan option. It was phenomenal and nothing like you've tasted before. Definitely the best vegan bowl I have had like ever. Each ingredient was bursting with flavour - the roasted ginger carrots were brilliant (so gingery I loved it!), pickled radishes are a new flavour phenomenon for me and will definitely try to recreate them at home. But the absolute star was battered oyster mushrooms - perfectly crunchy and with a lovely bite. There was also roasted crunchy chickpeas, mixed seeds and roasted tumeric cauliflower and of course loads of mixed lettuce leaves and sprouts. Very generous portion! My mum had the polish gnocchi (kopytka) - that came with chicken in creamy sauce and a massive portion of the most colourful side salad I've ever seen. She absolutely adored it too. Overall 10 starts. And shout out to absolutely lovely staff!
The big pork chop was absolutely delicious—so juicy and huge! Portions are generous, and the prices are very fair. The waitresses are super friendly and speak English, which makes everything even easier. I would definitely return!
Great traditional Polish food. Amazing soft drinks and cocktails. 🍹 Pretty busy so reservations are most welcomed. Kind and smiley staff 🥰 we had a nice lunch there!
unfortunately i forgot to take a photo of my main meal but it was genuinely great! If you are a fan of polish good with a small, modern twist - you’ll love their stuff. I had a seasonal pork tenderloin with chanterelles and it was really good and filling. Also tried their seasonal iced pistachio latte and it was phenomenal too. Highly recommended place with great English service and interesting vintage sports vibe!
Table at 7pm, 1 hour waiting for 4 dishes. We tried to order desserts but the waiter says they have closed. It’s 9pm o’clock, we’ve been waiting 30 minutes to remove dishes… nobody appeared. Nice food, Awfull service.

I had a great experience at Poznan Nifty Restaurant. I tried the chicken salad, and its flavor truly impressed me. It was prepared with fresh ingredients, making it both satisfying and healthy. The service was quick and friendly, and the restaurant’s atmosphere was both relaxing and welcoming. I highly recommend it, especially for those looking for light and fresh meals!
Very hospitable and delicious! Thank you for being available before the wedding :)
If you are looking for a fantastic dining experience, you should check out Nifty No 20, a restaurant situated in The Puro Hotel. The restaurant has a smart decor and an outdoor patio with a beautiful urban bistro style. The food is delightful and they offer a new lunch menu every week. It is absolutely amazing and I highly recommend that you take the opportunity to try it! The service and the food are both worthy of international accolades.
Great food and wine. Outstanding beef tartar. And not really important, but the food is hot on point. Highly recommended.
Great restaurant with a very skilled chef creating excellent food! Green beans soup was delicious, same as chicken breast accompanied by greens and juice with little beats of meat.
If you are unsure what to choose, ask the excellent staff who is always happy to advise.
it has been a great experience ! 49 zloti for 2 meals i added in the pics. 1 starter and 1 main course. it was a lunch menu, 3 choices for starter and meal.
so we took: arancini, cream of green vegetable, then fish burger and pork chop sous vide with young cabage and puree.
good looking/presentation food, very good taste, good service, good atmosphere, all was very good!
and for 49 zloti...
i recommend this place!
we will definitely return there to try the whole carte.
I had the breaded pork filet and it was Pyszne…one of the best I have ever had! The cheesecake was very satisfying as welll with hints of sour cranberry to delight the taste buds. The service was wonderful. I had an excellent dinner!

The staff were so nice and helpful.
We ordered the croissants with fresh strawberries and chocolate cream, which was delicious. One of the best croissants I’ve tried with a delicious chocolate cream and feather shaped chocolat bits.
Amazing drinking chocolate!
Great food, great service!
E. Wedel chocolate cafe offers a delightful experience with its traditional chocolate. We sampled four hot chocolates, with the dark chocolate being the standout. The three pralines were delicious, and the filled cannelloni was a sweet treat. After all that indulgence, we were on a sugar high. Highly recommended for chocolate lovers!
A visit to E Wedel is always a must.
I had a pastrami sandwich, white chocolate lemon meringue pie, and a hot chocolate. Great treats in lovely atmosphere.
The girl that attended us was very nice. Cleaned our table and gave us English menus. The ice-cream was very tasty and big, not many places offer you such bit portions of ice cream for that price.
You can buy their selection of chocolate too.
Great place for coffee, tea or hot chocolate ❤️ Big choice of cakes and other sweet treats, great cheesecakes and even better infused teas. Place to go when you are around Stary Rynek in Poznan.

A good shopping mall with the convenience of having the Poznan Main Station located basically underneath.

The mall can be reached with both busses or trams and it's not that distant from the city center.

Beautiful mall, three levels, very clean. Just like any mall, it gets busy and very packed, specially on the weekends. There’s a bus 🚌 and train 🚊 station connected to it, so you will have to pay for to use the bathroom.
Big shopping mall with connection to the main central train station Poznań. Spaces to relax and charge mobil phones. A lot of restaurants/cafe/ eatery
The shopping center is conveniently located with a train station directly on the other side of the building, making it highly accessible. However, it’s disappointing that all toilets require payment, which feels outdated and inconvenient for visitors.
Great location, close to the bus/train station, large with a huge variety of shops. You need to pay for toilets which doesn't make sense. As of October 2025, 3zł
I don't understand why there's a MALL here that charges for the toilet and closes before 20:00 😳 Ridiculous. Better take away the bus station from it. This is the first mall I've been to that shuts out clients with black stripes. Why the hussle. Let the mall be mall and the station - separate. This is the only place I didn't like in Poznan - the bus station.
Big mall and lots of foods store too inside.
Super and it's very big that you can do your shopping calmly, I recommend it to people outside Poznan to visit it .

Nice café to spend the afternoon with friends. We tried pink latte white chocolate, rose lemonade, and cappuccino. All drinks were great. The lemonade was not sweet and had the perfect amount of sourness. We were expecting the place to have even more pink aesthetics because of its name, but still we were not disappointed.

Loved this place. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The cakes were fantastic with great flavours. Such a lovely cosy place to spend some time relaxing.
As always, it was a great experience.
There is a wide variety of cakes, and you’re sure to find something for yourself.
The only problem is choosing just one, which is why I ended up trying them all! :)
Great place to relax and eat some homemade, delicious cakes. They offer a big variety of tarts and cakes, some of which are gluten free and vegan. They also have decaf coffee and lots of cute merchandise.
We had a lovely afternoon here having coffee and cakes. All cakes are homemade and they’re all amazing, with a big selection to choose from. Only downside is that there’s no menu in English (although the staff speak it) and that the wifi and/or network connection is really poor, bit that’s also good if you just want to disconnect from all that. I’d definitely go back again.
This is such a cute cafe. Everything is pink! Lovely home made cake, lots of flavor to choose from. Also the pinkish cappuccino, thick and flavorful chocolate, we were very pleased by everything here and had such a good time<3
If you want to eat delicious cake, this is the best place in Poznan!
Great service.
Perfect location, services and most importantly coffee and pastry.
I do not like sweet food and chocolate cake with raspberry was perfect. Even though it’s chocolate somehow it’s not over sweet.
Coffee was 10 out of 10.

A stunning park with lots of small walking trails, mobile cafes and ice cream vendors. Plenty of benches and seating space on the grass. Definitely worth a trip whether you're walking, cycling dog-walking or just in search of a drink by the lake. It's not the biggest park but there is plenty to do and can be incorporated into nearby walks and parks around you.

Sołacki Park is a truly beautiful spot – like a piece of forest and river tucked into the city. It’s peaceful, green, and offers a nice playground for children that is actually quite varied. However, one major downside is the lack of toilets and baby changing facilities near the playground. Because of this, many people end up using the bushes, which unfortunately leaves behind unpleasant traces like toilet paper scattered around. Adding proper restrooms would really make this park much more family-friendly and enjoyable.
Tranquility, clean, and the swan very friendly ❤️🩹 definitely heal my inner world
Easily the best park in poznan. I love it for the nature, clear water, birds, beautiful views, multiple coffee bikes :D it has a big playground and a green field for picnics and playing with dogs. I wish I lived closer, this place is amazing every day of the year and any time of the day
Brilliantly beautiful park, great for relaxing in. Contains a childrens play area, cafe/restaurant and public toilets. Multiple bodies of water compliment this well-maintained park really nicely. Cost is 1.50PLN for the toilet at time of writing
Very good place to walk with your dog. Multi coffee shops. Children's entertainment places. By my opinion it is the best park in Poznań
I rarely come to Poland these days, but always enjoy a walk (and usually a cup of delicious coffee) in the park.
one of the most beautiful parks in Poznań city. Charming bridges over the lake, romantic alleys, large playground. Good for a walk with kids, short jogging or a date. In the winter when the lake freezes, it becomes an ice rink⛸

Great for a walk and spending time with kids and pets.
Small park with several benches available and a sun-clock is possible to use with good weather.
Beautiful place for a walk and rest. Lots of coffee points with snacks. Clean and nice.
A beautiful place in the city where you can find dozens of great locations. In the park you can find a Palmiarnia which is one of the most visited places in Poznań. I spent there a romantic time with my wife.
Very nice park to visit
So basic, nothing to see, it doesn't worth it going there. Plus a lot of flies.
We passed for 10 minutes only because we didn't find anything interesting there.

Probably the best tap beer selection in Poznan and the beer garden in the back is both relaxing and fun. The menu is small but the food is good and pairs well with the beer. The bar tenders were the best part. Friendly, fun, and their beer knowledge is top notch. I will be returning, frequently!
Great place and nice beer. We really enjoyed the garden area. Unfortunately the young guy serving us had no clue about the beers he was selling and struggled to describe or recommend them.
Even though it was raining and we couldn't use the highly rated beer garden, there is lovely range of beers and the two servers were very helpful and willing to guide us. Excellent. Loved this place.
Made this place one of our 'locals'. Good choice of good beer served by friendly knowledgeable staff.

In a very quite neighborhood and hidden.
Surprisingly there were no pieces of cakes ;) but the croissants were amazing. We tried both the Pistachio and Almond croissants. The drip coffee was a light roasted one with some nice notes of citrus in there!
Some of the best croissants and pastries I’ve ever had + a cute and green ambiance. Would visit again 😊
Cute coffee shop, airy neutral space. Had drip coffee, was offered my choice of bean. Almond cardamom croissant, too.
They sure do know their coffee! Cheesecake is divine! Great place to enjoy the sun with a great cup of coffee. Nice owners. Place does not have a sign outside but the location on Google maps is accurate.
A nice and cozy coffee shop! The cakes and croissants looks amazing but I got a flat white, perfect milk foam even with using oat milk.
Might looked closed from the outside, light is dim, but it's right there before the construction place. A bit away from the center.
Must try almond croissant 🥐 cosy atmosphere
For me this place is very important, because it’s very cozy, quiet, lovely, a lot of plants. I feel the energy of people, who work here. Of course, bakery and coffee are perfect! Thank you!

Incredible pastries and coffee! The best pastries we had in Poznan, flaky croissants and incredible bread. The coffee was delicious as well. You can ask for a croissant that comes with butter and jam and then order a loaf of bread and enjoy that with the butter and jam as well. We had one of their pastries with mozzarella and tomato jam that was delicious. A must when in Poznan!
It is a renowned bakery and café in Poznań, celebrated for its handcrafted pastries and traditional baking methods. We had sandwiches for breakfast. Delicious pastries. Coffee cups are all used as recycled from coffee beans, a perfect sustainability.
After a morning stroll we popped in here for breakfast. A good selection of breakfast eggs etc. Paulicarus had an interesting 2 poached egg dish with a tomato based sauce on top, grated cheese and a baguette on the side. Tastey. Booth had a salami roll. I drank good coffee. Lots of cakes on display. A relaxing spot.
I took a regular butter croissant, ten rogal and a tea. Everything was really tasty, the croissant near the quality of a good French bakery. I also took a French baguette before leaving, probably the best I've had in Poznań yet. I definitely recommend and will gladly come back!
Start of the day with coffee and croissant. We liked it.
Pros:
1. Service with smile.
2. Fast service.
3. Nice coffee.
4. Nice croissant.
5. Cup of coffee is unique, light and has nice grip. Liked it.
6. Probably great butter Croissant because they got over before we came.
Cons:
1. Butter Croissant gets over quickly.
Great patisserie and greater coffee. The service was also great, except for one of the male staff that was very unprofessional with us, he didn't want to fix a wrong order due to a misscomunication with the cashier.
In the end, the male staff went away and the cashier helped us and fixed the order without issues nor added costs for the shop.
Lovely French style bakery in Poznan. Normally, I try to search for regional treats when I travel, but the pastries are good (albeit a bit different from authentic French). Service is lovely. Definitely worth a visit
