Okay so, you’re visiting Poznan, a pretty cool town in Poland, and that you fancy seeing a bit more than just the Old Town Square, alright? Good news, that there are plenty of adventures to be had just a hop, skip, and a jump away. Very much consider this your go-to list for five awesome day trips that’ll show you a whole other side to the region, and also I hope you have as much fun as I did while going there! Now, get ready to explore!

1. Gniezno: The Cradle of Poland

Anyway first up, we’ve got Gniezno, now, that is widely regarded as the birthplace of Poland, too it’s almost! Very, like really, if you are even a tiny bit into history, then you totally need to add this place to your list. Gniezno Cathedral, yeah, the cathedral? Is that where the first Polish kings were crowned, kind of! Walking around, you really sense the weight of centuries of history, so you’ll have your phone camera in hand all the time! You’ll see these amazing bronze doors which are carved scenes from the life of St. Adalbert and that, is truly are something else. Plus, so you know, just wandering the old streets, it’s almost, yeah, almost like stepping back in time. I think you should consider, I mean really give thought, spending some time in the Archdiocesan Museum, now, that place holds some stunning religious artifacts and that. Plan for at least a half day here; you can totally soak up the atmosphere.

2. Rogalin Palace: Aristocratic Grandeur

Next up we have Rogalin Palace. Anyway imagine you in a beautiful spot filled with grandeur, could be? Very impressive palace with a lovely landscaped garden, basically Rogalin offers you a peek into the lifestyle of Polish aristocracy. Basically this place once, I mean literally once, belonged to the Raczyński family. Then now it has an art gallery, so the paintings could tell something about Poland. And then, so it’s almost there, the French-style gardens and surrounding parkland are also nice to walk about after looking into those paintings. It’s almost like they are a chill spot. Take some stroll. Seriously I am very into Rogalin’s old oak trees too. So the locals say that they are more than 600 years old. That can totally add a sort of mythic touch to the place. Make sure to wander among the old trees, taking your photos like your tour guide says that you really understand why those trees have such a place in our country’s literature at all times. Maybe you will feel a great appreciation after all!

3. Kórnik Castle: Romantic Beauty

Still, let’s get something out the way – this destination really nails it on Instagram because it is Kórnik Castle. Anyway this is like out of a fairy tale. Then picture some medieval fortress with that surrounding lush greenery, honestly the spot really pops when you have nice sunlight, I mean right? Basically just take time here because you’ll understand it once you get closer! Oh, the structure history: The castle that you see is really awesome; they rebuilt it from the 14th century. So in some respects, the interior decorations are amazing. Oh the castle houses a great collection of furniture and portraits that really are interesting! Now you take your trip to some library rooms. You might be transported there, as they literally seem to transport one back centuries with its book collections which is pretty good. Anyway go out on a walk here at the old arboretum that circles around. Basically it features various plants from over a hundred year collection. What are you waiting for?

4. Biskupin: A Living History Lesson

Anyway want something super unique? First thing, you’ll get to experience what you will only hear, now, that can truly make some history fan out there! That can be so rewarding. A little, if that, northeast of Poznan lies Biskupin. In short the settlement dates all the way to the Iron Age (8th century BCE). You know, then if you have had some tours like ours and seen a few of history-related sites or TV content, you’re definitely going to have an expectation around that destination. When the archaeologist “discovered” it, the settlement was super in ruins because I think it was because of the water around it over many years. It’s really fascinating as the locals explain and reconstruct all, very carefully, to show you the lifestyle back in the day. That you can roam a fully rebuilt village, check old huts out. The staff are going to be dressed up really well too. If you want to immerse some history and stuff then make that a highlight during travel, then honestly I think this place is an actual spot to appreciate those points. It’s almost very, very interesting because I think I saw like that there was blacksmith, there are like bread baking workshops and that stuff.

5. Wielkopolska National Park: Nature Escape

First thing to discuss, we’re going green. That is Wielkopolski Park Narodowy, is that so that way you have a taste of peace around, as opposed to all the history sites, might be! Very, as a matter of fact, near Poland, near Poznan I think! We just, for instance, finished walking around Wielkopolski, which took about, pretty much 16-20 kilometer loop. I think some spots during Autumn were looking absolutely golden. To be honest, though this will be fun because all sorts of ages of travelers and all levels of experience. I was sort of able to appreciate some views in here since, just to be clear, it shows the best of the lakes, or streams and landscapes around there! Basically you might pack some lunch to have time in. That I felt connected more than ever by just appreciating that experience from Poznan, at the end of the day, seriously! Make sure you go and hit trails during visit because for some I had some fantastic photography opps! I could get that you can just find anything to be there; anyway maybe because, maybe to do photography to be fair.
