Poznań County

Poznań County is an administrative district in Greater Poland that surrounds the city of Poznań and includes 17 municipalities. The territory blends urban and rural communities, with each municipality maintaining its own local structure and services.

This territory took its current form through Polish administrative reforms of 1998, becoming effective on January 1, 1999. The reorganization created a separate local governance structure independent from the city of Poznań itself.

Each municipality here maintains its own local traditions and seasonal gatherings that shape community life. Visitors can experience regional markets, crafts, and celebrations that give each town its own character.

The area is well connected by local roads and public transportation, making it accessible from Poznań and neighboring regions. It helps to plan visits to multiple municipalities to understand how the territory varies from place to place.

The territory borders nine neighboring counties and forms a ring around Poznań, creating a geographic transition zone between the city and the surrounding region. This position makes it a bridge between urban and rural life.
