10 Things to do Good for Kids in Poznan That You Shouldn't Miss
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.

The Poznań Palm House is really beautiful. Moving from the room to the room feels the changing climate needed for specific species of plants. Palms, cactuses and tropical trees are impressive. In the middle there is a small café also called a palm tree where you can drink coffee and eat lunch. You can also look at ants but you have to see it yourself;) In addition to plants, the Palm House also has a substantial fish collection and you definitely have to see it! Great place for families with children.

The Poznan Town Hall is a beautiful Renaissance building decorating the Old Market Square. Its construction was completed around 1300. From this period survived only basements. A thorough reconstruction of the Town Hall was made in the years 1550-60 according to the design of the architect Giovanni Battista di Quadro from Lugano. Then it took on a form very similar to the present one. During this renovation, a new clock was ordered and a "clownish device, namely goats." The facade faces east . Its characteristic three-story loggia is richly decorated. Between the arches of the ground floor arcades are pairs of female allegories of virtues. The Poznań City Hall is a real pearl of the Renaissance. Every day at 12.00 the bugle call of Poznań is played from the town hall tower. At this time the mechanical goats' butting display is performed daily and are accompanied by numerous residents and tourists. Inside, the Museum of the History of Poznań is located. Really beautiful.

Not far from the Old Town Square we happened to encounter the simple and modest building of the Franciscan Church. The exterior and the simple design did not prepare us for the "amazing" sights that awaited us inside the church's interior - one of the most amazing churches I have ever seen !!! The stunning ceiling paintings are breathtaking. The whole church is filled with wonderful amazing Baroque Style artworks. MOST AMAZING. Unfortunately we arrived at the church in the middle of the prayer and out of respect for the holy place and the worshipers, I had to reduce the photography so that I did not take much of the amazing works, pictures and sculptures that filled the church. I am sure that I will return to Poznan in the future with the MAIN aim of completing the photos I missed on this trip.
