The Bank Poznan is in the heart of the Old Town. Old Town is the heart of the city and wandering through its cobblestone streets feels like stepping into a fairy tale.

It is a tradition dating back centuries that still captivates both locals and newcomers.
Discover pierogi (dumplings), savor kielbasa (sausage), and indulge in oscypek (smoked cheese). Try local dishes at Stary Browar, a former brewery turned shopping and dining complex, where you can relish both Polish and international flavors.
Poznan's public transportation system is efficient, making it easy to explore the city and its surroundings. Using the tram and bus routes is a good option, or consider getting a city bike for a leisurely ride along the Warta River. The well-connected network ensures you can reach your destination conveniently. During summer time and spring time the e-scooters of for example DOTT are a great option. Just download the app and you can use the blue e scooters.

Engaging in local festivities allows you to experience the city's dynamic spirit and make lasting memories.
Escape the urban lifestyle by exploring Poznan's green spaces. The Citadel Park offers a peaceful place, while Lake Malta provides opportunities for outdoor activities. Poznan is a city with almost 600.000 people and a lot to offer. If you don’t have a car, the Uber app works great to move around to specific places.
While many locals in Poznan speak English, learning a few basic Polish phrases can go a long way in connections and expressing appreciation for the local culture. Poles appreciate the effort, and a simple "Dziękuję" (thank you) or "Proszę" (please) can open doors to warm interactions.
Life in Poznan as an expat or international employee is a journey filled with discovery, cultural immersion, and warm encounters. By embracing the city's unique blend of history and modernity, connecting with the local community, and exploring all that Poznan has to offer, you're sure to make the most of your experience in this charming Polish city.
