Day
6
(June 21, 2018) Poznan
Before
This is another long journey on road of nearly 500
Km.
We'll leave Warsaw and arrive at Wroclaw to spend the night, but we'll
stop in Poznan Old Town to lunch and explore it.
|
After
We leave the apartment about 9:30 AM. No hassles on
reaching Poznan from Warsaw, as hishway A2 links both cities. This
motorway has no speed limit but, in exchange, we must stop in three
tolls in our way to pay 10, 20 and 20 zlotys. It takes a bit more than
3 hours.
Once in Poznan we follow the signs to “Centrum”, as we’re
doing in all cities, and soon can see the cathedral at our side. A bit
later we find a parking place where we can leave the car by 3
zlotys/hour.
It’s a short walk until Old Market Square and Town Hall’s
beautiful building appears just in front of us, asking for cameras out.
 
We enjoy exploring this square, which is full of live,
with all these restaurants around and all these kiosks filing the
space, which are mainly selling local products.
   
We visit the places around too, like St Stanislaus Church,
Dzialinski Palace and Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
   
It’s in one of those kiosks with food in the square where we take
our lunch. It’s a sort of barbeque with a lot of different types of
sausages. Some of them are huge. We pay nearly 40 zlotys for our two
portions there.
After this we walk back to the car for the final ride to
Wroclaw. It’s a quite shorter drive than the previous one, but we find
lots of traffic when leaving the city, which makes first half of the
way slow. Second half, though, it’s in the motorway, where we’re fast.
It’s windy, and I can feel wind striking the car from the left,
sometimes.
 
When we leave our room in Hotel Patio, we plan to take a
walk by the limits of this big Old Town. We pass by Panorama Raclawice
building and some churches.
 
Then, at the North, we reach the Oder river shore, where we can get astonishing views from the other side.
We go to Piasek Island and, from there, we make our way
back to the hotel passing by the University, while the sunset is giving
us a wonderful end of the day.
