"Welcome to Poznan" Top 5 Page for this destination Poznan by armi235

Welcome in Poznan – some time ago this sentence welcomed all people in Poznan that arrived here by train. I would like to show you this city the best as I can. The Capital City of Poznañ , ( Latin: Posnania, German: Posen ) is the capital of Greater Poland ( Pol. Wielkopolska ) located at the Warta River. It is one of the oldest Polish cities. In my opinion it is the important historical centre; Poznan's cathedral on the island ( Pol. Ostrów Tumski ) is the earliest church in the country. There are tombs of duke Mieszko First, king Boleslaw Chrobry and some others famous peoples.

At the Independent Day they celebrate The Name Day of Santa Martin Street – once of the popular street in Poznan. At this day people in Poznan eat a lot of famous only here Martin’s Twirl (Pol. Rogale Marcińskie).

• In a nutshell:These days Poznan is a centre for trade, industry, and education.
