Poland is one of my favorite countries in Europe. I studied in Gdansk for a few months back in 2006, my favorite city in the country. Hope to return one day! Vivat Polska!
Yep, I love it. That's why I keep going back!
I really want to visit Poland.
@@BenRobson123 is Poland safe?
@@davidyoung9561 absolutely! Never seen or had a problem once. Probably safer than the UK tbh!
The UK is a horrible place @@BenRobson123
Poland is awesome 👍🏻
Absolutely it is!
Pięknie nakręcony film i idealnie dobrana muzyka. Jestem pod wrażeniem. Studiowałam w Poznaniu i kocham to miasto, zwłaszcza, że jest położone blisko mojego miejsca zamieszkania.
These Polish cities are such eye openers. I'm unfamiliar with Central Europe, and you've definitely whetted my appetite to head to Poland for my next main holiday. All your videos are beautifully filmed and presented, all interesting, and a great balance of content. I really look forward to every new one. Thanks Ben 👍
You should! Poland is class. Thanks again Ron for watching and commenting. If you end up going to Poland, let me know how you find it!
@BenRobson123 I certainly will. I feel this is such an interesting country with such beautiful cities. It definitely has to be on my bucket list. So thanks again for showing this to us.
Hi Ben, thanks for another wonderful video featuring Poznan Poland. I've heard that city name before but it was interesting to see how it looks today. It was a perfect time for your visit right after the square was restored.
Your tour of the abandoned Football Stadium raised by curiosity, so will try to search online to see if I can find any information about it. At about 10:10 into your video, on the field of the stadium, it looks like someone put up a Blue and White tent. Maybe a homeless person sleeps there out of the way.
Your videos are always interesting and informative to watch. Thanks for all of the effort you put into creating these exploration videos.
Thanks Ben, I'm glad the effort, time and investment I put into the videos is appreciated. I did bump into a person in a sleeping bag near the main entrance actually, got a bit of a fright but just quietly walked away.
You are very nice man Ben. Thanks for your Poznań visit. ❤
Ha thank you!😄
@@BenRobson123 You will be someday in Poznań again Ben ? 😏
Great video .. looks like a great place! Thank you so much for sharing with us.
Thank you for watching and commenting :)
Man, this is the Balamory of Poland
It really is!
Great video mate! Loved the bit about the football stadium.. looks like a great place!
Thanks as always Ed. Glad you enjoyed, you would’ve enjoyed exploring the abandoned stadium!
That is my hometown, great vlog mate!
Hi , I live curently in Poznań , it was a WHILE before the oldtown square was renovated , we have a joke that to know you are in Poznań you just look left , right back and forward and if you see some dug outs , renovations and repairs you are indeed in Poznań . THE WORK NEVER ENDS !!!
@@wardeztorier3929 😅 maybe so, but at least the main square looks beautiful now. So new and fresh!
@@BenRobson123 don't get me wrong it's marvellous but it is just a natural state of Poznań to be in constant semifluid like state of disrepair. Right now the train station is surrounded by roadblocks and such and the Rataje roundabout was being built for almost 7 years. My first time in Poznań was when I was 12 , I got to grow up and it was still not built . We give ourselves a bit of crap here every once in a while but it's a decent big city . Still I got to recommend you my home town Wolsztyn . It has a working locomotive station , great views, and every may we have a parade of our locomotives . People from around the world ( and I mean that , I've met Chinese,korean , American and even some Argentinians that way ) come to watch the show .
nice to see you back!
Thank you, nice to see you here too!
Great video! As a Pole who lives in Newcastle for most of his life I really enjoyed the video from the polish region I come from. One thing only. Polish pastry ‘Rogal’ is not related to the French croissant in any way. Different type of pastry. Different way of bake. Why calling Rogal a croissant when they’re two different pastries but that’s just this, otherwise, I honestly loved the video 👍
Thank you for watching & the information!😇
Bydgoszcz, Toruń, Lublin, Zamość, Przemyśl, Rzeszów. Go east where the skies are blue...
Warsaw, Wrocław, Kraków
I lived in Poznań because have relatives there. People is very nice and well behaved. There are places out of the beautiful market that are not so beautiful... Just a few old buildings, the rest is not nice. But it is a very beautiful place with old houses where I lived and in front of the houses it's a very large park with a lake , that place is Sołacz. If you go to Poznań, take the tramway and it's not far from the centre. Good luck !!💕
@@RoxieZ-xl3uu Godne zwiedzenia są też: Gniezno- 60 km. od Poznania, Olsztyn, Trójmiasto, Szczecin. Kazimierz Dolny, Jelenia góra, Zakopane,
Thank you for showing my city ❤
You’re very welcome!
Just (an hour ago!) ordered a new trip to Poznan. I was there 2 years ago, mid all the crazy construction. Glad I am going back in September, I missed a lot last time. I also came back from Gdansk last week, great city, but way too touristy now. Nice video, Ben.
Thank you! Hope you enjoy your trip to Poznan. They must have been doing construction for ages!
That's a shame about Gdansk, a truly beautiful city. Though I thought it was still only really popular with Polish tourists
@@BenRobson123 I'n Norwegian, and a lot of the tourists were Swedes, and other Scandinavians. I did love the city, of course. Looking forward to following your future adventures!
Interesting, I guess it is just over the water from you guys! Welcome aboard, hope you enjoy joining me on some more adventures 😁
Another fantastic video Ben. I would love to visit Poznan again. The town centre was under construction when I visited roughly two years ago. It looks so much nicer now all the fencing has gone you could only walk round the outside of the square which was a bit disappointing.
Thank you David! That’s a shame, it’s surprising it has been under construction for so long! It looks lovely now
I study in Poznań, the whole old town has been dug out for at least 2 years, it's been really frustrating.
I am from Poznań. Thank you for your nice video.
Hope you enjoyed it
Vídeo incrível meu amigo, sempre curta seus vídeos incríveis, obrigado por compartilhar, tenha um dia incrível. ❤❤❤❤. ❤❤❤❤. ❤❤❤❤😎😎😎😎😎😎 105
Thank you so much for watching! Glad you enjoyed 😇
I've been to Poznan a few times. Very pretty little city.
It certainly is a lovely little city, shame I didn't record a bit more of the atmosphere on the Friday night, live music in the street is always lovely
Poznań is definitely better than in your breakfast movie :) but those who love the night will notice...
Great video Ben, very informative and as always straight to the point. Definitely worth more viewings. The bit about the football ground was really special.. A quick question, did you fly from Newcastle direct to poznan? Thanks and keep up the great work, you are fast becoming Polands greatest ambassador,. Cheers
Thank you! The football ground really is a special little find, or big find I should say! I didn’t no, I flew from Newcastle to Wroclaw, then coach on to Poznan.
Haha, I will happily take that title! I’m back in Wroclaw next week 😁
Nice one, we never been to poznan, your video is the inspiration we were looking for us to visit this city. Cheers for your response and enjoy your trip to wroclaw
Nice one mate I'm glad to hear that, hope you had a good time
That was my question about flights. We live between Newcastle n Edinburgh so wondered...
Great city :D
Keep up the good work!
Thank you Caroline!
Poznan was amazing, I'd definitely go back!
For sure! A lovely, pleasant place
Stunning
It really is!
Thank You for Your video 😉👍
You should visit medieval city in the east Lublin. It is so beautiful
I'll keep it in mind!
Minute in.. instant sub
Welcome 👋🥳
In Poznan now , lovely place
Amazing, enjoy!
Thanks , great video and how did you get an apartment right on the square, we are only five min away so still good
Thank you! It was on Airbnb or booking. The view was incredible, but the apartment was very basic and not the nicest…
Great vid and wonderful music in the background. Thanks Ben!
Glad you enjoyed the music and video!
Great job!
So sad about the football field. Thanks for a great video!
Thanks for the comment Holly, it was certainly an interesting find
Nice video. Not spoken in a rush. Good to understand for a no native English speaker. Good information. Funny !
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it and I managed to get the balance right with the speed & flow 😊
That art installation at Park Cytadela is one of its kind, because at night there is a rotating light pointed at those sculptures and when the light rotates it looks like the shadows of a crowd of people walk by. The installation / sculptures are titled "The Unrecognized" (hence why there are no heads) and are inspired by the grey mass of people that the Soviet Union and its satellite state produced.
You must visit Toruń! You will be surprised!
Ooh I’ve heard about it.. perhaps next time!😁
❤❤❤
in this parkCytadelawith these sculptures and museum with tanks:)) there is a poznan garrison cemetery with commonwealth war graves.
In 1793 - that is, after the Second Partition of Poland, when the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was falling and Poland was erased from the map of Europe through three partitions, Poznań found itself within the borders of Prussia. For over 125 years - that is, throughout the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th, the city lived and developed under German rule. Poznań was one of the capital and religious centers of the Piast state in the 10th and 11th centuries, in the past it served as the seat of the rulers of Poland, and was also one of the most developed fortresses in Poland at that time. The capital of Greater Poland was one of the royal cities of the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland and the capital of Poland in the years 1290-1296. Poznań is one of the oldest cities in Poland to be founded - it was granted city rights in 1253. The city had the right to actively participate in the act of electing the king. The Poznań cathedral contains a symbolic tomb of the first rulers of Poland - Mieszko I and Bolesław I the Brave. The island of Ostrów Tumski is the seat of the curia of the Poznań archdiocese - the oldest in Poland, and the second oldest university in Poland. The stronghold of Ostrów Książęcy, today Ostrów Tumski, together with two outlying strongholds: Ostrów za Cybiną (today's Śródka) and Św. Michał (later Św. Jan) formed the oldest part of today's Poznań. The venue for the elective assemblies of the Poznań voivodeship from the 16th century to the first half of the 18th century. Performances of the nobility of the Poznań voivodeship of the First Polish Republic took place near Poznań. In 2008, the complex of the oldest districts of the city was declared a historical monument.
Finally, so you visited all cities that I consider for myself: Gdansk/Poznan/Wroclaw and Krakow - and the key question is: which one would YOU choose !?
Dla mnie Polaka, Kraków i Gdańsk są razem na pierwszym miejscu. Są zupełnie inne, Kraków to średniowieczne, królewskie miasto,a a Gdańsk to piękne, kupieckie, gotycko-renenasowe miasto. W Gdańsku plażą na nogach możesz dojść do Sopotu i zwiedzić to uzdrowiskowe miasto. Kraków to bliskie góry i kopalnia Wieliczka.
Następnie jest Wrocław, Toruń (oryginalne gotyckie miasto- Unesco) i Poznań. Ostanie 3 miasta możesz zwiedzić w jeden dzień. Gdańsk i Kraków to 2 lub 3 dni.
Now that is a very difficult question! I think my 3 favourites are Krakow, Gdanks and Wroclaw. I love them all for different reasons, Krakow may edge it just for its proximity to Wieliczka Salt Mine & Auschwitz. Though the amount and type of British tourists unfortunately taints it for me ☹️
Hey, I live there!
👋
W Poznaniu warto jeszcze zobaczyć dzielnicę zamkową przy Placu Mickiewicza
Yes! It was unfortunate I didn't have a little more time.
The statues with planetary names are a tribute to the Polish astronomer; Copernicus. In the C15th, he deduced that the planets in fact orbit a centre point, the sun and are spinning spheres.
For centuries it was firmly believed that the sun orbited the Earth.
The planets in the solar system are named after Roman Gods except for Venus.
Mars: Roman God of War.
Neptune: Roman God of the sea.
Venus: Roman Goddess of Love and Beauty.
Ahhh very interesting! Thanks for the information David
@@BenRobson123 no problem
Variy butipull italy ❤
U video butipull may friend ...l 💘 video
Is the reparing in the square over?
@@GianlucaLi yes thankfully. I think I luckily arrived as soon as it had finished
@@BenRobson123 Great. So lucky to you Ben
akurat trafił w koniec remontów na rynku XDD
Yep, I got very lucky!
Do you think its safe for me to go there with my girlfriend ? My girlfriend is german but iam turkish so i look like a muslim and im a bit worried i wont have a good time there maybe cause they might think im a refugee. Times really changed in europe and i dont feel safe
Sorry to hear that, it's hard to say. I'd like to think you'd be safe, and I would imagine you would be. However, you can never be sure. I think you will be fine though, best of luck
Yeah the polish and german border guards are very strict to refugees. So you should consider your visit there.
It should be safe, we ain't England.
We demand strict policies from our politicians to avoid ethnic tensions like in the West.
You shouldn't be in more danger than you are in Turkey.
I was in Poznan last fall and there was a lot of construction going on, not many people speak English and not every place to eat is cheap. You have to be careful with Uber, I had a guy drive me to the airport but he took me somewhere else! I had to pay him extra for that trip and then pay him also to the airport, the driver was from Africa. Somehow he received the information from Uber but he didn’t have an Uber sticker on his car so make sure that an Uber taxi has the Uber sticker on it. You need to dress warmer since Poland is colder than what I’m used to.
poznan sucks booooo
🥳
Might be great for some, but not safe for gay people. Read about gay rights in Poland. Just a heads up!
Don’t talk rubbish. I have just returned from Poland. I saw Gay men meeting up with each other. No one batted an eyelid.
@@HelenA-fd8vl Obviously, you haven’t done any research before you posted and it shows. There are over 100 municipalities in Poland that are LGBT-free zones. That means gay and lesbian people are not welcome and subject to local laws.
@@HelenA-fd8vl enter LGBT-free in Wikipedia. You might find it informative.
Enter LGBT-free in Wikipedia. Very informative about LGBT issues in Poland. Know before you go.
@@Thierry-l3k Stop writing populist nonsense. You can type: "Parada równości 2024 w Warszawie" here on youtube. You will see parade LGBT two weeks ago.
