Saturday

Good morning! Are you ready for today’s meeting with amazing history of Poznan? I prepared special walkthrough from medieval history of the city, trough era of Polish partition to the current times. We’ll start from the Old Trade Square of Poznan. This place came into being in 1253, so this is one of the oldest and also biggest square in Poland. It’s full of breath-taking medieval monuments. Most important are Town Hall and Town Scales. Both are came from medieval, but during the centuries were reconstructed few times. Nowadays Town Hall is one of the most beautiful examples of Renaissance architecture in Europe.

Medieval Part of the City

Also remains of fortifications, like arsenal and guard-house are really incredible. Sightseeing of medieval part of the city can take a few hours, so it’s worth to stay for a lunch somewhere before I’ll guide you to another extremely interesting place. Choice of restaurants in the Old Square in Poznan are very satisfying so choose one and enjoy your meal.

Greater Poland Uprising, first in 1806 and second in 1918 was the only two won among several other uprisings in Polish history. People of Greater Poland have shown their will of sacrifice for independence. In this museum you can get familiar with information about insurgents life, weapon from that times and historical circumstances of uprisings.

It’s not only a piece of forest with some uncommon species. This place is totally unique because of the seven craters, remains of meteorites which have fallen on Earth about 5 thousand years ago. In this area scientist has found many pieces of meteorites. One of them weight 164 kg and it includes elements which can’t be founded on Earth. Remains of things that have fallen from space few thousand years ago make the stroll in reservation really unique experience.
