Stary Rynek, Poznan

Alas, it's a sorry state of affairs just now. What should be the picture postcard brochure photo is now a building site with major construction of underground pipes. It's not really the place you want to sit out and eat amongst pipes, lorries, diggers and rubble. No sir, find somewhere else.Having just come from Krakow and Wroclaw Old Town Squares, which are beautiful, this is a big disappointment. The restaurant owners bordering the square must be feeling the impact on their trade.

The coloured merchants' houses on all four sides are already stunning. Then add the majestic Town Hall and two rows of gorgeous buildings in the middle part. Of course merchants no longer live in the merchants' houses - the square is teeming with restaurants & bars. Watch out that the reconstruction work in the Old Town is still going on (August 2022) and the constant traipsing through improvised gravelly walkways takes the shine off a tiny bit.

The most beautiful historical city center in Poland! The town hall is impressive surrounded by colorful building around it. Also you can find several Fontaines with Greek statues, which is very nice at photos

Such an amazing and well fixed up town square. Colorful ornate buildings with four Greek themed fountains in each corner, and a beautiful town hall in the center. The only downside are a couple terribly ugly modern buildings in the center. They really throw off the vibes.

UNDER RENOVATION!!! If you planned to visit the Poznan for this great square. Don’t!! It is heavily underconstruction. Not sure when it will be finished. This make the city can’t be enjoyed 100%
