One of the highlights of Poznan is its old town, which is full of charm and history. The old town is centered around the town square, which is one of the largest and most beautiful in Poland.

Here you can admire the Renaissance Town Hall, the colorful merchant houses, and the famous mechanical goats that butt heads every day at noon.

I find it a very interesting story about how the goats got up there! Do you know it? Please share with us on our social media channels!

However, when I visited Poznan during this summer of 2023, the town square was undergoing a major renovation, which made it less appealing and enjoyable.

There was a lot of dust, noise, mud and fences that blocked the view and access to some parts of the square. I was told that the renovation would be finished by the end of the year, and that the square would look even more stunning and cozy in 2024.

So if you are planning to visit Poznan this year, you might want to avoid the town square and explore the other parts of the old town instead.

There are many charming streets and alleys that are filled with historical buildings, monuments, churches, and museums.

You can also find some great restaurants and cafes that serve traditional Polish food and drinks.

One of the things that I loved about Poznan’s old town was its vibrant colors.

The houses were painted in different shades of blue, yellow, green, pink, and more, creating a striking contrast with the red roofs. It felt like walking in a fairy tale!
