TOUR HIGHLIGHTS
City tour of Poznan with local guide
Poznan is widely acclaimed as a business or trade fairs city. It is quite probable that you come for business and get keen on learning more. Our tour starts on the island of Ostrow Tumski, the most important royal residence during the days when Poland was still a pagan country. This is where you will find Poland’s very first cathedral: St Peter and Paul's (as Pope John Paul II used to say: “this is where Poland started”). From there we will take you to the charming Old Town of Poznan, where you will see the hallmark of the city, the “Poznanskie Koziolki”: two charming billy-goats that butt heads every day at noon. While in the Old Town you will have time to admire the Old Town Square with its Renaissance Town Hall. From there you will stroll through the narrow streets of this historical area until you reach St. Stanislav’s Church (also known as “fara”), a precious pearl of the Polish Baroque, brimming with gilded ornaments and mouldings.
Auschwitz
Auschwitz is a symbol of genocide, terror and the Holocaust. It is also a memorial of human heroism, solidarity and resistance to crime and terror. No matter how you look at Auschwitz it is one of the most fascinating places in the world and an important memorial to those who died for global freedom.
Lyon, France
Lyon is between two hills, the Fourvière and Croix-Rousse and between two rivers: the turbulent Rhône and the tranquil Saône. Lyon is a very industrial city, textile manufacturing is one of the most important here. But not only that, this city is known as the capital of gastronomy, like Paris, this city has the largest number of Michelin-star restaurants. The most famous chef, Paul Bocuse, has his restaurant in Lyon.
Lyon is also called the 'city of light' because of its history which began on Fourvière Hill, when the city was under the Romans. The city was proclaimed capital of the three Gauls and it was during this period that Lyon developed in economic, politic, religious and military terms.
