Jeżyce, Poznań

Jeżyce is a residential district in western Poznań characterized by old tenement buildings that line the streets, particularly Dąbrowskiego Street. Tram tracks, local shops, and the central marketplace form the everyday landscape of the neighborhood.

The neighborhood began as a village in the 13th century under Prince Przemysł I, who granted it status and early structure. The construction of a railway station in 1848 sparked rapid growth and transformed it into an urban district.

The New Theatre and Rialto Cinema shape the cultural life of the neighborhood, drawing people with local performances and film screenings. The Centrum Amarant adds regular art exhibitions and community events to the cultural mix.

The Rynek Jeżycki marketplace is the center of daily life with over 400 stalls offering fresh produce, clothing, and household goods at prices lower than central Poznań. This makes it a practical shopping destination for locals and visitors alike.

The district contains two lakes—Rusałka and Strzeszyn—formed along the Bogdanka stream that offer swimming and outdoor recreation. These bodies of water provide an unexpected escape from the urban surroundings and everyday rhythm of the neighborhood.
