The Royal-Imperial Route in Poznań, Touristenroute in Posen in Polen
The Royal-Imperial Route in Poznań is a walking path through the city's Old Town and the Cultural Park area. It connects major historic sites including Cathedral Island, the Old Market Square, castles, and ancient churches that reflect different periods of the city's development.
Poznań began in medieval times on Cathedral Island, where the early Polish kingdom was established. The city experienced periods of Prussian rule in the 19th century, which profoundly influenced its development and architecture.
The route takes its name from the kings and queens who visited or lived in Poznań across a thousand years of the city's past. These royal visits shaped the cultural identity and significance of the city.
The route spans over 6 kilometers and can be explored on foot in a single day. You can also use buses, trams, or bicycles to reach different sections comfortably, and many museums offer free entry on weekends.
In the Old Market Square there is a curious detail: two goat statues on the Town Hall tower that butt their horns together at noon every day. These figures come from a local legend and remind visitors of the city's everyday folklore.
