- We spend our first full day in Poland exploring the beautiful city of Poznań. We start out at the Old Town Market Square seeing the fountains, Merchant’s Row and then Town Hall to see the the fightings goats at noon. We then make our way through Park Cytadela to visit old military remnants and view the sculpture called The Unrecognized. Next we head to Cathedral Island and to the area called Śródka for some Polish Dumplings called Pierogis. Finally we make our way back to Old Town by walking along the riverbank or the Warta River.

Poznań is a city on the Warta River in western Poland. It’s known for universities as well as its old town, with Renaissance-style buildings in Old Market Square.
Poznan was once the capital of Poland and is still the capital of the Wielkopolska region. Poznan lies midway between Berlin and Warsaw, which has helped make it an important town for centuries. Badly damaged in World War II, the city (especially its Old Town) has been beautifully restored. The huge Old Town Square (Stary Rynek) is one of Europe’s nicest, and is lined by fabulous historic attractions, restaurants and nightlife. The Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul is Poland’s oldest cathedral.
The most impressive structure on the Main Square has to be the deliciously elaborate Town Hall at its centre. First erected in the early 14th century, it truly flowered in mid-1500s when Italian architect Giovanni Quadro of Lugano added the Renaissance loggia, attic, and classical tower, earning the structure acclaim as “the most beautiful Renaissance town hall north of the Alps”.
Built in the same year, the Cathedral was repeatedly damaged by natural and building disasters and wars. Now it is a three-aisle Gothic basilica with pre-Romanesque and Romanesque relics, surrounded by a semicircle of chapels.
The Warta is the second longest river lying entirely in Poland; its basin of 21,084 square miles (54,607 square km) makes it the third largest in Poland. About half its length, from Kostrzyn to Konin, is navigable. The Warta drops 1,224 feet (373 m) from its headwaters to its mouth. The river drains a largely agricultural area of the Polish plain. Częstochowa, Konin, Poznań, and Gorzów Wielkopolski are major cities along its course.

Poznan was our first introduction into Poland. What an amazing place / city. We loved it so much and we already know that we will be coming back. We're hitting up more cities in Poland so be sure to check those out on our channel as well guys! (hint: Gdansk, Warsaw, Krakow and Wroclow) :)
And there is neither Justin Trudeau nor Muslims walking the streets.
Lovely people you are.
Go to Lublin Old Town, and walk through center until Saxon park and you will see the most colorful place xD PS: Everybody chooses the best known cities but the hype is little exaggerated. Maybe not for Gdansk, but the rest....... eghmmmm. Go for example to Kazimierz Dolny, Zamość or Sandomierz, and you will realize there is more in Poland than these 3-4 ctities xD
Did you make it back
Poznań is the city where I study. It’s nice, cozy, historic but at the same time a bit hipster. Absolutely worth visiting
Dziekuje Wam za wizytę i serdecznie zapraszam ponownie - w Poznaniu jest jeszcze wiele pieknych miejsc. Malta, Stary Browar, dzielnice Wilda i Jeżyce. A 20 km na poludnie Kornik z pieknym zamkiem i jeziorem. ZAPRASZAM ! DO zobaczenie w moim Poznaniu 💋😁
Hey guys, thanks for enjoying my hometown. Come by more often! Cheers.
I’ve been three times to this place. Actually I’m here right now, and in 1 hour I will make my way back home. Incredible place !!! Love Poznan
3:03 In Poznan you say "Dziekuje, tej" :D
Went to Crete after watching your Crete video. I'm not sure if it was a done deal and was looking for more good excuses to go but both of you certainly contributed positively to the hype. Now looking at possibly going to Poznan and your video pops up! :D
Oh wow how cool...haha. Well Poznan and the whole of Poland is gem. We love that country - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers Thanks Trevor 😊
Never considered visiting Poland. You may have changed our mind! :) Nice Channel, love what your doing.
It's such a great spot you guys. We hit up 5 cities while we were there and everyone was amazing. Wroclaw and Poznan stood out the most 😃- Trevor
Congratulations for a great movie from the city of Poznan. The first capital of Poland. You chose very good attractions.
It's such a lovely city Szymon! - Anna
I like that you went to traditional mleczny bar to eat soup, but in places like this its quite rare to meet english-speaking service
It was so good. There's a tiny chance we'll be back in Poland this year. We're hoping to go to more of those places if we make it back there - Anna
Super cool video. Love the sneak peek into a country I probably won't make it to. Awesome job!
That's very informative ✌️
Thanks for watching Pavel. We aim for informative yet fun at the same time. - T
Hello from Poznań! ✋
Hello right back 😀
Love polish soup
Thank you guys.
You're welcome.. thanks for watching. :) - Anna
This 'starówka' isn't 'strofka'. That's STA-ROOF-KA like in STAr, ROOF, CAnada. And the 'Starówka' simply means the same which the 'Stare Miasto': 'The Old Town'!
I am really happy to see you have a good time in my city :) with best regards from Poznań to Canada!
We had the best time in Poznan. It was easily one of the highlights of Poland. It's so charming and full of nice people - A
I didnt learn a single word of Polish. You can survive. All the trams were going from places called things like czectizijaky to zszcekawoky. So sod it. 😄
Those same type of sculptures without heads are in Chicago, I didn't realize this is where the original ones were. They are identical. Cool.
Wow...Great place....
It's a hidden gem!
Thanks for coming :)
Thanks for Video, we are at Friday in Poznan.
I'm polish decent born in Canada,thank for paying a visit.
Welcome to Poznan! Thank u for showing my city in that beautiful way! Good luck on other travels, hope u feel good in Poland:)
I'm so glad you liked the video Wiktoria. We're here for another week or so yet. We feel right at home here honestly. - Anna
Welcome in Poland ... best wishes to travelers around the world
We luv it here. Thanks for the warm welcome Matiz. - Anna
Great video guys! Looks like you had fun.
It was so fun Sazzi! Thanks for watching as always. Maybe someday will cross paths here in Poland ;) - Anna
Dzień dobry świetny materiał na temat Polski dziękuję :)
Glad you enjoyed it Forest. We really loved visiting your country and we'll be coming back again. - Anna
Delightful Travellers thanks :)
The clock together with the goats were installed on the tower in 1551. In 1675 a thunder stroke the tower, destroying it and the goats. They only came back in 1913
If only we knew that little fact! How did Poznan go without those 2 little goats for 200+ years?!? ;) - Anna
Was In Poland really enjoy it. ITs safe place and I really like it. Apart from paying hound of pounds in Barcelona or Mediolan, I had a high-quality hotel or food experiences with a really good price. For me, Cracow is the best
I live in the US but grew up in Poznan right next to the old town square. So glad to see you had such a wonderful experience. You did great with the language too. The soup you had is my fav cucumber 🥒 soup, a Polish staple. Cheers! (Na zdrowie!)
And as someone in the comments mentioned, google translate often offers direct translation. So in case of “thank you” it will translate “dziekuje Ci”. It’s more common to just say “dziekuje”. 😃👍🏻
Dziękuje is enough. No one ever says ,,Ci".
Oh really? That's so great to know! Thanks.
And those "accents" weren't accents at all. Accent in Polish is always (but there are few exceptions) on the penultimate syllable. If there is line over some consonant, it means that's soft sound. There is only one vowel with line - ó and it's pronounced as 'oo' in 'food' or 'good' (polish 'u' is pronounced the same, but 'ó' is in words when in some other form of that word it become 'o'). If there is dot over a consonant, it means that is a hard sound. The same means 'z' after some consonants (and 'i' after consonant makes it soft). A vowel with tail is pronounced through the nose. Reading Polish is easier than English, because every syllable is pronounced always exactly the same way in all the words with that syllable.
@@yaajfcomments7171 Syllabes aren't pronounced allways the same e.g.: 'na przykład' is [na pszykład] (for example) , or 'Vlog z Poznania' is [wlog s poznańa] (Vlog from Poznań)
@@amadeosendiulo2137 Język polski miałem już dawno. Mógłbyś podać przykład wyrazu z sylabą "przy" i dźwięcznym "rz" w tejże sylabie? "W" wymawiają najczęściej jak "ł", więc teraz pewnie zaczną się głowić jak wymówić "łlog" ;-)
@@yaajfcomments7171 no rzeczywiście mogłem trochę przesadzić xD
Those Perogies looks so good. We are def going to go there!
Feather and the Wind they were amazing omg! Poznan is so great guys! Poland is blowing our minds so far. :) - T
But those perogies do not look traditional.
Let us know what you traditional is! We're not quite sure honestly. - Trevor
When are you coming? I would definitely recommend you sth :)
Our traditional are: z miesem (with meet. I can recommend "pierozak" place on Wroclawska street) , z kapusta i grzybami (cabbage and mushrooms), ruskie (cheese and potatoes) or sweet types: z serem ( with cheese) or z jagodami (with blueberries). they also have with pumpkin. Haven't eaten but heard they are great ;)
Poznań is really cool, I lived there two years and I have really good memories about this city.
It's great. When did you live there? - Anna
It was about 3 years ago, I was there on a contract, my company sent me there.
It was nice to see my favourite place in Poland! I've lived ind Poznań over 4 years and I really miss this city! I almost felt like I'm there with you guys! Btw. - it was vegetables soup. 😉 If you have any questions about Poland, our language or anything - I'm here to help! 😊 Thanks for this beautiful video.
Poznan was easily one of our favourites on our journey through Poland. We're no longer there but if we need help next time, we know who to turn to. :) - Anna
You are indeed delightful! :) Thank you for all the kind words and your enthusiasm, glad the weather was kind to you.
Funny thing: ź, ś, ć don't mean accent at all ;) We never mark accent in writing. These are just our weird, usually whishing letters ;)
ha! Now we're even more confused with the letters. ;) Gdansk is up next. Video coming soon. - T
Super film. May You send the film on Facebook and TV ?
Wow, you've actually seen a lot of the town! I'm surprised with such an in depth review. Of course you did not find all the best food places, it's not possible within such a short time you had, but anyway, you've seen a lot of places worth seeing. Now you have to come back to enjoy it truly and meet more people.
Woh.. so we did it right then? We felt like we did it properly for the most part. This was one of our favourite Poland stops. - T
I want to complement you not only on the content, but also on the technology. Sixty FPS does make the experience better.
Thanks. I'm always curious if people prefer 30fps VS 60fps. Normally, I like 30 but I find for the vlogs 60 works. It's great to hear this kind of feedback as we don't get it often. - Trevor
I lived in Poznan and i felt a bit nostalgic to see Poland again, thanks guys for showing me the city again!! Ohh I am from Peru! 😉🖖
You're very welcome. How long did you live in Poznan for? That must have been fun. - Trevor
Delightful Travellers hey Trevor!! Yes I lived for one year...yes I went for love but that story ended and I had to move of country jajaja...just tell me when u visit Spain!!! 😉🖖👍🍺
That soup looks amazing!!
Perfect comfort soup right there THT. :) - Trevor
Hi guys iam glad u liked my country I must admit I LOVE CANADA my second home
We luv Poland so much Greg. We'll be returning for sure. - Anna
Thanks for this. Plenty of food for thought for springtime travels. I'm sure we'll head to Poznan from Gdansk.
Im from poznan if you would like to visist a nice and quiet place in poland visit a vilage quite close to poznan called powidz
Thanks Anna. We will definitely put that place on our list for when we return. We'll be back at some point for sure. - Trevor
The soup - it was: krupnik (kroopnick).
Ahhh.. that's what it was. So good to know, thank you. It was delicious. - Anna
The pleasure is mine. It is very common and popular dish in Poland. Greetings from Lodz (Woodzi - city of Polish cinematography or city four coulture, big city exactly in the center of Poland. :-)
If You are still in Poznań You can check or google "Taj India" restaurant I know its not tradicional polish food but it is one of my favorite restarants in this country - have a nice day :)
We're not there at the moment. We're in Warsaw. But we know Poznan will be a frequent stop on our travels from here on out. Next time.. we go to Taj India. - T
You need to visit Cracow. I live in Cracow, I think is the most beautiful city in Poland ❤
We've been to Krakow actually. Go back on our channel and you'll find it. It was such a great city. Poland was one of our favourite stops. - Anna
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
How are the prices nowadays?
Like general expenses in Poznan? I am considering. to do my exchange there.
...thank you for that nice video. I was born in....Poznan and lived there for 40 years. Thank you!!!
You gotta go to Krakow, there is amazing old town and you'll be very enjoy ;)
Funny you say that. We're actually here right now. ;) - T
Hey, if you liked Poznań, you gotta come to Toruń, the birthplace of Copernicus. Its a bit smaller, but no less charming :). The old town is on the UNESCO heritage list, you gonna love it.
It's on the list .. for when we move here permanently. ;)
puznan nice city
Poznań :D
#bestcity right? :) Seriously though what a place - Trevor
Love your video! Milk Bar though is not a traditional restaurant. "Karczma" is the very old traditional place to eat. "Milk Bars" came about after WWll, a communist concept for cheap meals. Subsidized by the government (which is the reason why it's so inexpensive) and make it possible for people who can't afford much, to still be able to get a nice warm meal...so it's aimed at the citizens (reason why they don't need to learn another language). The food is not considered great in these places, more like a good price for what you get (home cooked meal).
Thanks for watching Karusia. That's so great to know about Milk Bars too. Home cooked or not.. it was delicious. :) - T
I think a milk bar is a must for any tourist because they have become part of our culture but please don't forget to eat at a Karczma as well :) If you'll be visiting Zakopane, they have plenty of those. I'm looking forward to more videos, you guys are so positive and I love your Croatia videos as well.
Milk bars are not a communist concept. The first milk bar cafeteria on Polish soil, was estsblished in Warsaw back in 1896 under the name of Mleczarnia Nadwiślańska. That's some 21 years prior to October Revolution in Russia. They gained popularity after WWI, especially during the Great Depression era in 1930s. Several Western countries, like Britain, Australia and USA also operated businesses called 'milk bars' around that time, but they were more akin to small convenience stores selling newspapers and ready meals (quick picks of sorts), than cheap food joints or state-subsidised public canteens, as was the case in communist-era Poland post war.
Why everbody have to speak English in Poland?Staff who work in most cheep restaurant for low income people too.?Hello it is Poland and we have our language.Learn.Do we expect that you will speak Polish in Canada if we visit your country?Thanks for a great move.My regards.
We didn't say everyone has to speak English (in the video). We'd never expect that nor would we want that. I thought that came across... but either way thanks for watching. - Trevor
what u had it was vegetable soup mate
ha.. thanks for clarifying that ;) . We just assumed it had an actual name (that we didn't know) - Trevor
"There's an accent over the o" :D in polish "ó" is the same as "u" and it's pronounced exactly the same and don't ask why :)
But wwwhhhyyyy 😉hehe. It's a tricky language for us Canadians that's for sure. We absolutely adored Poznan btw! - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers Because hundreds of years ago "u" and "ó" were pronounced in a different way. Then the pronunciation changed and they're now pronounced the same way, but spelling didn't change. The same happened to "ż" and "rz" pair, "ł" and "u" after a vowel, and "h" and "ch" (so now "c" before "h" is always silent).
Pierogi not pierogis:) good video:)
Welcome to Poland! If you ever come to Wroclaw I'd be more than happy to share a beer and stories :)
Just so you know - chicken pierogis are like a vegetarian hamburger - it should never exist :D
hahaha
Meals in the milk bar are a tragedy. Good is the only price here. These meals have nothing to do with home-made food. I think the Milk Bar I see an old comedy "Teddy bear" ua-cam.com/video/JauDtDthLh0/v-deo.html
Poznan legend
After the great fire in Poznań, the burned town hall was finally rebuilt. On this occasion, the elegant opening ceremony of the new.
Master Bartłomiej was to make a grand clock for the town hall tower. It was decided to reveal it during the ceremony. Count and wife were invited, which was why it was a unique opportunity. Also in the kitchen there was no shortage of work. The cook was supposed to serve a delicious deer. The meat was supervised by a young chef, Pietrek, who was very bored. He imagined a big clock, ticking, with an amazing mechanism. He could not resist and ran to the tower to see him. The boy admired the clock too long, the roast fell to the fire at that time and was burned. Pietrek was very afraid that he would be punished. He came up with an idea. He quickly ran to a nearby meadow where people from the city grazed animals. When he saw two small goats, he decided to replace the deer. He took them to the town hall. Goats have sensed that their end is near. When he and the goats reached the town hall, they began to run away. There was nowhere to go, so they climbed the stairs until they finally reached the town hall tower. Very scared, they began to hit the horns..
Meanwhile, a large crowd gathered downstairs waiting for the ceremony to begin. Among the guests was also the mayor and the count with his wife. They saw two horned goats standing high on the tower. This view made them laugh. The count demanded that a clock with goats be seen in the town hall as a memento of the event. Master Bartłomiej did it, and the internal mechanism activated goats, which began to cramp with horns.
From that day on the tower of the town hall there is a clock with two small goats. When the bugleau wins at noon, the goats hit the horns like the real ones.
He He i saw my home in your video :p
haha.. no way. That's always funny when that happens - Anna
Nice video. Any signs of WW2 damage? One of those tanks is a Russian T -34.
Nothing we saw but I'm sure there is some here and there. Those tanks were very interesting as well. - T
Ww2 was 70 years ago so everything was rebuild...
If you're into WW2 and history you'll like this: remember The Great Escape starring Steve McQueen and based on a true story? Well, many of the escapees were later apprehended, executed and burried in Cytadela Park - that's the one with the sculpture featured in the video - including Roger Bushell (played by Richard Attenborough) who was the escape's principal organiser.
What soup was that? Ok, let's have fun with google translator again. You probably ate ... "ślepe ryby" - the blind fish soup. Its very local, known only in Poznań and the surrounding area. It's simply a potato soup, nothing more. The Poles from other regions think that here in Poznań we really eat fish with gouged eyes. :P The name is a result of a local dialect and an ancient sense of humor (because soup has been known for centuries). There's a crazy logic behind it: it was a poor people's soup, so it was made without the use of meat, so there is no fat spots ("eyes" in Polish, no eyes = blind) and since there is no meat in it, it HAVE TO contain fish ("blind fish" in the result) but people were so poor that even fish wasn't used for this soup. That's the end of story. :P
As a Polish person living in Canada I feel safer having Canadians visit Poland
What you see in these big cities it's not original. Almost all historical buildings and monuments were destroyed by Germans and also partly by Russians. For instance Poznan was't destroyed much by Germans but Russian army advancing to capture Berlin bombarded Poznan and basically flattened the city centre.
It's hard to even imagine such a thing happening in what's one of the most charming cities we've ever come across. Poznan is pretty special. - T
You are so kind and lovely.
500000 people live in Poznan + 150000 students. Park Cytadela were world biggest fort, over 100ha. this 1000000m2 Park in center of Town. Poznan were last big city before Berlin in 1945. They have fight for this city over 2 months. here, test the attack strategy for Berlin, and the Germans wanted to stop the attack at all costs. cyryl.poznan.pl/kolekcja/510/poznan-ruiny-i-odbudowa-1945-1970-album-adama-drogomireckiego
Thanks for watching and extra thx for all the facts! - Anna
Milk bars are from the times of communism ;P it can be traditional.... depends of habits ;P ... really it's not traditional. It's just cheap ;P
Yeah we just had to at least check one of them out on our travels to Poland. It was great! - Anna
All this tanks at Cytadela Hill have main gun in Russia direction since communism collapse. Earlier they was rotated in west side ;
Say it by proxy, so I see it in Canada - it's closer. Ci is some Laravel/Symfony variable for garlic and onions. There is that market, but here is like small shop size. Must find places to visit for a hundred people, so here you go. You know it's somewhere since 2010, so maybe in this church/cathedral archives. It begins with some toddler and some evil coming again for this town in a cinema. It's two euros, I still have to convert that to candian currency. VTU will there be somebody having anything to say about Statius Guitar day, because it's just some mobile phone text somewhere where the public riots are?
Hey Guys,these aren`t accent marks,these are "diacritical" marks orthographic signs telling you how to pronounce it,like in in word "czesc" those tiny superior marks tell to pronounce the the 2 last sounds bit like English "shch"
Thanks for the info on that. We clearly struggle with it... we just need LOTS more practice. - T
Do you remember the movie "The great escape" ua-cam.com/video/H3KbLBwQFW4/v-deo.html ? On the night of 24/25 March 1944, 76 prisoners of war escaped from the German prisoner-of-war camp for airmen in Sagan (Żagań). Captured and killed Allied soldiers lie on the Citadel in Poznan. They lie under the Cross of Sacrifice at the Citadel. On the order of Hitler, 50 refugees were executed. They came from Great Britain, Canada, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Norway, Lithuania, Belgium, the Netherlands, France, the Czech Republic, Greece and Poland.
Google translate is your friend :-)
apntv haha you’re so right! #stillfinditdifficult 😉
There are no accents in Polish. The additional sign means it represents totally different letter and sound. While o is pronounced like o in lot, ó is pronounced like u in put. Dziękuję would be closest to "jenkooyeh" with the stress put on oo.
Thanks for the tips! I think I got it now.. 'jenkooyeh'. :) - A
I've made a detective work for you. Śródka (closest pronunciation shrootkah) is a small part of Poznań and was a separate town until 1800, when it was "devoured" by Poznań. The last letter in Poznań is pronounced like ñ in Spanish.

Bez Warszawy i Krakowa ? No nie wiem. A zamek w Malborku ?
I'm "from" Vancouver but only in that I was raised there. I was actually born in France. in its "DOM-TOM". I'm wondering if Poland will treat a Canadian like an "American!" when we start talking because when it comes to that, I'm about at the end of my rope there. Countries that are obsessed with the USA do that one to me all the time. I've been offered an English-teaching job there and since it's the only thing that's making me an offer AT ALL I have no choice but to take it but I'm just trying to prepare as to what kind of "world of hurt" I'm in for going there. First I wondered if there's a lot of Russophobia because of my married-name but they probably won't notice that as much as half of Russians think it's a Polish name anyway. And Polish people usually know it's Russian. I'm more worried about being treated like "American" because I'm "black," and anti-Semitism in a predominantly Catholic country is actually on the "back burner" right now because I"m not planning on showing up on an Israeli passport anyway...
I've never heard such a piece of crap before. We are well educated so we know what is the difference between Canada and USA, we respect jewish tradition. So its sad to read comments like that. And Sztyblewski is for sure polish name. Propably your husband has polish ancestors.
