The pink facade of the Jesuits college continues onto the Fara church, another wonderful feature of the city.

Poznan has a beautiful old town square which is surrounded by bars and restaurants. There were a few market stalls in the centre selling souvenirs. At noon every day a crowd gathers to watch the rutting goats appear at the top of the town hall. There were also live goats for petting on a Sunday morning. There are many angles from which you can take lovely photos of the square, although I'm not sure how anyone permitted the awful modern building attached to the beautiful old architecture in the centre!

There are a number of official places that sell the croissant but for the true experience you can go to the Rogalowe Museum where, for about £3.30, you can watch an interactive show on how to make them. We reserved our tickets online in advance, as there is only one English showing a day, and it was certainly needed as there was quite a queue when we turned up.
The room in which you sit allows around 50 people and a couple of humourous chefs take volunteers from the audience and take them through the process. Unfortunately I was sat in a position whereby I couldn't see much of what was going on so I spent much of the time looking outside the window.

Porta Posnania - Interactive Heritage Centre of Cathedral Island
Reviewed By Tomasz_Laskowski - Poznan, Poland
Museum was build with huge pump. Lot of money were invested in it. In the end visit here is really disappointing - you get figures made of wire, very-slow working multimedia system and nothing especially interesting inside. Maybe someone who's first time in Poznan this...MoreThank you very much for your opinion! But Porta Posnania is not a museum. There are no artifacts here. It is the first in Poland heritage interpretation centre. We are still learning and developing, trying to become a better place! :)

Can walk with in the garden and enjoy the nice atmosphere, there i a cafe of which i didn't try. One problem- the labelled name of the trees and flowers are all in Polish.
מקום נחמד, נעים ושקט, אין הרבה מה לעשות בעיקר בגלל שכל השלטים בפולנית כך שלא ניתן ללמוד על הצמחים. יש בית קפה אך לא התנסתי בו

Malta Lake is stunning and there is so much to see and do near the lake. There is also a very impressive Fountain in the lake. The Maltanka Miniature Railway is seasonal and wasn’t open when we visited in September.

Reviewed By Alicja S - Perth, Australia
I gave 3* for my experience, but it is worth a visit.
It takes around an hour to walk around. You can buy food and feed fish, if you are tired you can rest on the bench, there are lots of them around and at the end is little coffee shop.
Entrance is 9zl for an adult. If you don't want to pay for toilet make sure you use it at home.
