Poznan is one of Poland's oldest and most beautiful gems. Situated at a three-hour drive east of Berlin, the city is definitely worth a visit for history buffs and seekers of cultural experiences. Poznan is a city engraved with a rich past, dating back to the 10th century A.D. but offers much more than historic sights to see. The vibrant city is young and full of life, providing an energetic nightlife, awesome museums, and thriving shopping areas. After severe destruction during World War II, the historic old town square was rebuilt and now lines up a flourishing arcade of bars, cafes, and restaurants.
