A small-group walk through the heart of Poznań, built around the Old Market Square, the Town Hall with its famous noon goats, and the lanes that most visitors rush past. Guides keep the group small so questions stay easy and the pace stays human. Expect stories of merchants, emperors and local legend rather than a recited script.

This two-hour walk starts on Cathedral Island, in front of Poznan Cathedral, and works its way through the oldest layers of the city's past. The guide opens with the prehistory of the region, explaining who lived in Wielkopolska in the Stone Age, before moving to the rise of the Polish monarchy in the 10th century and the reasons the largest early medieval stronghold in Poland was built on this particular island.
Inside the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul, the group sees art spanning Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque and Classicist styles, with a stop at the Golden Chapel, where the first Polish monarchs are buried. From there the route continues along the old Warta riverbed, a short, green stretch of park, and takes in the Old Market Square with its colourful townhouses. The Royal Castle also features on the walk as a marker of royal history and forgotten battles.
