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.

@@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 .

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 👍

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.

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.

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 ☹️

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.

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.
