Practical information

How do you get there ?

Eurocity trains from Berlin take three hours as does the train journey from Warsaw. There are convenient road and rail connections with all major towns and cities in Poland. From the city's airport, Lawica, you can catch regular flights to Warsaw, Dusseldorf, Nurmbreg, Hannover, and Copenhagen.

Where can you stay ?

There are the famous big hotels in the centre of the city or more private ones in beautiful, secluded locations a little further from the centre. You can also stay in one of the motels or camp-sites situated upon one of the nearby lakes. During the trade fairs many Poznanians let rooms, flats and villas.

Where can you take a break ?

The best place would be upon one of the four lakes located in the city, the biggest of which is Lake Kierskie - famous for its yachting centre. Others, situated near the city centre and surrounded by parks and forests include Lake Malta - which has a boat-race course and hosts sporting competitions, outdoor concerts, and is a place for walks and weekend recreation for Poznanians.

Or you can enjoy the lakes and woods of the Wielkopolska National Park and the Zielonka Forest on the borders of Poznan.
