Sightseeing at Śródka

It’s not often you get family and friends coming to visit you in Poland, so when the opportunity arises, you want to make sure they have a great time.

On this occasion, we made our way to Poznan’s new Brama Museum – just off Ostrów Tumski. Great features, interactive displays and you can wander round at your own leisure using the headphone set. For anyone wanting to know how Poland established itself, this is the place to go to. And the view of the city from the veranda is second to none.

Afterwards, we made our way over to the Śródka district… Three years ago, this place was a complete dump. Now, there are more cafes than you can shake a stick at – and sitting down with a cup of coffee and watching the world go by was as relaxing as being at the Stary Rynek. How this small district has re-invented itself is astonishing.

Then, there’s the small matter of the mural (which you just have to see for yourself). Looking for your next weekend break? This is my recommendation
