Discover Old Town Magic

Our project "The Bank" in Poznań lies in the heart of the Old Town. Old Town is the heart of the city and wandering through its cobblestone streets feels like stepping into a fairy tale. From the pictures you may already know the colorful Market Square, where you'll find cafes, restaurants, and boutique shops. Don't miss the iconic Poznań Goats on the Town Hall clock at noon. It is a tradition dating back centuries that still captivates both locals and newcomers.

The Local Cuisine

Discover pierogi (dumplings), savor kielbasa (sausage), and indulge in oscypek (smoked cheese). Try local dishes at Stary Browar, a former brewery turned shopping and dining complex, where you can relish both Polish and international flavors.

Connect with the Expat Community

Connecting with fellow expats is an easy job in Poznań. There are various groups and events. For example Poznań International (Facebook) with their weekly quiznight at Bar Miasto. Or the Bla Bla language night every Wednesday (website).
