What to do and see in Poznan, Central Poland: The Best Art Museums
Poznan was once the capital of Poland and is still the capital of the Wielkopolska region. Poznan lies midway between Berlin and Warsaw, which has helped make it an important town for centuries. Badly damaged in World War II, the city (especially its Old Town) has been beautifully restored. The huge Old Town Square (Stary Rynek) is one of Europe’s nicest, and is lined by fabulous historic attractions, restaurants and nightlife. The Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul is Poland’s oldest cathedral.

Located close to the old market square, the Royal Castle in Poznan is on the sightseeing route of the city, but it deserves a special visit, free admission on Tuesdays. Its construction first started in the mid-13th century and the medieval style building has a rich historical value. Thoroughly reconstructed during 2002-2014, the Castle now holds a Museum of Applied Arts. The well-organized expositions at the Museum, including art, ceramics, furniture, fabrics, weaponry and clothing from around the world, are illustrative of the changing trends and styles in visual arts over the centuries. Guided tours, very informative, are like an extended introduction to the history of the arts. Don’t miss the observation deck at the tower as it offers excellent views of the city including the old market square and the landmark Poznan Town Hall itself.
