About this activity

Escape Wroclaw for a full-day guided exploration of Poznań, Poland's historic birthplace of Christianity. Travel by eco-friendly electric car to discover over 35 landmarks across three distinct districts—medieval Old Town, imperial Prussian quarter, and ancient Cathedral Island—with cathedral interior access included.

After approx. 2,5-hour drive take a break for coffee and a snack. After that, embark on a unique tour of Poznan and see over 35 of the city's most iconic and interesting landmarks. 

Your driver/guide will help you to start at the designated meeting point and discover the city on an unforgettable journey in an eco-friendly electric car. This method of transport guarantees that you can visit the city's most important monuments together with the interiors of Poznan Cathedral.

For approximately 1.45 hours you will visit 3 most important areas of Poznan:

First is the old town with the medieval streets where you will see the Jewish quarter and the old synagogue, numerous gothic churches, the royal castle, and the impressive baroque parish church of Saint Stanislau.

  2. The Royal Castle
  3. Renaissance Town Hall and the Legend of the Goats
  4. Lesser Basilica of St. Stanislaus

Second, it is the so-called imperial quarter, where you will see a spectacular building, the imperial castle built in neo-romantic style for the last monarch of the German Empire - William II. In the area, there is also the Opera building and impressive university campus

  3. Grand Theatre

The third is the oldest area of Poznan - the cathedral island situated on the other side of the Warta river. In this area of immense historical value where the first polish bishopric (episcopal see) was established in 968, you can still feel the unique atmosphere of a small Vatican. Before returning to the starting point, you can visit the interiors of the Cathedral of Saint Peter and Paul with an audioguide, where you can feel the millennial history of the city.

After the tour, take some time to enjoy what the city has to offer – tasty food and delicious Saint Martin's croissants taking the road back to Wroclaw in the late afternoon.
