Practical information
How do you get there ?
Eurocity trains from Berlin take three hours as does the car journey from
Warsaw. There are convenient road and rail connections with all major towns
and cities in Poland. From the city's airport, Lawica, you can catch regular
flights to Warsaw and Dusseldorf.
Where can you stay ?
There are the famous big
hotels
in the centre of the city or more private ones
in beautiful, secluded locations a little further from the centre. You can also
stay in one of the motels or camp-sites situated upon one of the nearby lakes.
During the trade fairs many Poznanians let rooms, flats and villas.
Where can you take a break ?
The best place would be upon one of the four lakes located in the city, the
biggest of which is Lake Kierskie - famous for its yachting centre. Others,
situated near the city centre and surrounded by parks and forests include
Lake Malta - which has a boat-race course and hosts sporting competitions,
outdoor concerts, and is a place for walks and weekend recreation for
Poznanians.
Or you can enjoy the lakes and woods of the Wielkopolska National
Park and the Zielonka Forest on the borders of Poznan.
