Poznan, the capital of Wielkopolska is located in the central-western Poland on the river Warta. The beginnings of Poznan go back to the 9th century. Presently, 580.000 people inhabit it. Poznan is the third, after Warsaw and Cracow, academic centre as far as the number of students is concerned. There are 17 public institutions of higher education which offer different courses to over 150,000 students.
Poznan is a large tourist centre. Every year many tourists from Poland and abroad come and visit museums, exhibition halls and private art galleries. After long and exhausted sightseeing tours, tourist can relax visiting the Opera House, listening to Agnieszka Duczmal Chamber Orchestra or one of Poznan choirs e.g. Poznan Nightingales or Poznan Boy's Choir.
Poznan is a large industrial centre where leading Polish and foreign manufactures and companies are located, e.g. Glaxo Wellcome Poznan, H. Cegielski Company, Lech Wielkopolska's Breweries, Volkswagen Poznan and Beiersdorf-Lechia. The most dynamically developing branches are electronics, machine production and food processing.
Poznan is often called a GREEN CITY: there are many parks and 4 lakes in the city used for water sports and recreation.
Welcome to Poznan!
