Poznan, Poland. November 6-8, 2003.
I used to consider Poznan
as a mainly industrial city without large amount of tourist attractions in it.
Thus, I have never planed any trip to this place. But there was the Current Achievements
in Oncology Conference in this city in the beginning of November 2003 and I attended
at it. And to my great surprise I revealed, that in fact, Poznan is a quite interesting
city with numerous sights and one of the cleanest cities in Poland. Poznan people
are famous for their accuracy and craving for potatoes.
The history of Polish nation
and state began exactly at this part of modern Poland many centuries ago. The
first Polish capital – small town Gniezno is situated near the Poznan. There
are many nice sights there. Old Market Square with many old-style buildings and
the Castle are definitely the most interesting places in the city. The Cathedral
on the Tumski island is beautiful too and picture of it in evening looks excellent.
