Poznan is a picturesque town set on the River Warta in central-west Poland. Considered the birthplace of Poland, Cathedral Island – or Ostrów Tumski – is where you’ll find the beautiful Archcathedral Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul, the oldest cathedral in the country, dating back to the 10th century. Closer to town, wander through the colourful town square lined with quaint and narrow heritage houses, and witness the famous billy-goat clock chiming at midday. Of course, a visit to Poznan wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the Croissant Museum, where you can sample delicious St. Martin’s croissants with white poppy seed filling.
There are two main transportation options when travelling between Poznan International Airport – also known as Poznań-Ławica Airport – and Poznan city centre; a local taxi (or private transfer), or a public bus to Rondo Kaponiera where you will need to switch to the number 8 tramline to Pl. Wielkopolski. Taking a taxi from Poznan Airport to the city centre is the quickest and easiest option, with a journey time of 15 to 25 minutes depending on traffic, and is also very affordable, especially if you’re travelling in a group. Using public transport is the cheapest option at just €1.40 (PLN 6) per person, and takes 26 minutes, excluding wait times.
Welcome Pickups offers meet and greet services and a friendly introduction to Poznan at the same price as a regular taxi. Click here to see the cost.
