[2025 Poznan Attraction] Travel Guide for Royal Castle (Updated Jun)

#springwander Traveling by train through Poland is a fantastic way to explore the country’s rich history and diverse landscapes. My journey took me from the lively city of Poznań to the historic town of Gniezno and finally to the majestic Malbork Castle. Starting in Poznań, I was immediately drawn to the colorful Old Market Square, where each townhouse seemed like a painting. Watching the mechanical goats at the Town Hall strike noon was a fun tradition to witness. I also visited Ostrów Tumski, where Poland's first rulers were baptized, making it a key site in the country’s history. A short train ride brought me to Gniezno, Poland’s first capital and an important spiritual center. The highlight was the stunning Gniezno Cathedral, home to the legendary bronze doors depicting the life of St. Adalbert. The peaceful atmosphere of the town made it a perfect place to slow down and appreciate Poland’s early history. The final stop, Malbork, was the most spectacular. As the train approached, the massive red-brick fortress of Malbork Castle dominated the skyline. Exploring its vast halls, courtyards, and medieval artifacts was like stepping back in time. The castle’s sheer size and historical significance as the former headquarters of the Teutonic Knights made it one of the most impressive landmarks I’ve ever visited. #Poland #Poznan #Gniezno #Malbork #HistoricPoland #Train #MedievalAdventure

#2024mapped Poland is a huge country comparable to Germany. For example, travelling from Berlin to Warsaw take no less than 8hours. So it’s naturally for me to try to look for a city to stop in between. That was Poznan. And it’s much more lovely than I’ve expected for its architecture and food. First of all, the architecture was very different from Western Europe (and no less so from its other Eastern European members like Czech, Austria and Budapest). Places to go: 1) Old Town 2) Town Hall 3) Old Market Square 4) Royal Castle 5) Adam Mickiewicz Square ….. and some churches that I’ll talk about in the next post
