Overview of the tour in Poznan

The monumental Imperial District, built in a post-fortified area at the beginning of the 20th century, is a phenomenon on a Polish scale. It was designed to raise the prestige of the city and make it one of the seats of the Prussian emperor. Wide and modern for those times, the streets are full of sumptuous public buildings, operas, and theaters. It also had its own political task — to overshadow the Polish Old Town with historicizing and monumental German architecture. Therefore, in the heart of the District, there is a gigantic Imperial Castle, which is perhaps the most modern castle in Europe.

During the tour, we will focus not only on monumental buildings, but we will also wander into charming, hidden courtyards. We will also see the place where brilliant pre-war Polish cryptologists who decoded Enigma — the legendary German coding machine. Of course, there will also be the central point of the district, i.e., the Imperial Castle itself, which is now an enormous cultural center. After all, we all know that being in Poznań and not seeing the Castle is like visiting Paris without seeing the Eiffel Tower. Or visit Poznań without watching the billy goats…
