Poznań by car
Trade fairs made Poznań’s modern reputation, though its oldest stones stand on the cathedral island in the Warta, where the earliest Polish rulers were buried. Saint Martin’s croissants and a stubbornly local dialect still set the place apart.
Driving in Poznań
Poznań is reached by A2, S5 and S11. Parking in the centre is paid and marked by zone. Streets in the old centre are narrow, a smaller car is easier.
Where to park
Paid parking zones cover the city centre, and Park & Ride car parks on the edge of the city let commuters leave the car there and carry on by public transport, a safe and legal alternative to parking downtown.
Arriving by road
The A2 motorway skirts the centre to the south on its way from Berlin towards Łódź and Warsaw and also works as a city bypass, while other main roads lead out towards Bydgoszcz, Wągrowiec, Oborniki, Katowice, Wrocław and Buk. Driving into the strict centre is restricted.
From the airport without a car
City buses 159 and 148 link the airport with the centre: the 159 runs to Poznań Główny, the main train station, and the 148 ends at the Rondo Kaponiera intersection. A ticket machine beside the airport bus stops takes cash or cards, and tickets are validated in yellow machines on board.
