Tour description
Poznań is where the Polish nation was born, a vibrant university city with one of Central Europe’s most beautiful Renaissance market squares. Every day at noon, two mechanical goats butt heads on the town hall clock, delighting the crowds below. On this walking tour, a local guide will bring the city’s long history to life.
You’ll admire the colorful merchants’ houses in the Old Market Square, hear the fascinating legend of the fighting goats, and cross the historic cathedral island, where Poland’s first kings were buried. Historic, lively, and wonderfully easy to explore on foot, Poznań is a city worth taking your time to discover.
