Poznan is a city with a history that goes back more than a thousand years. It was here that the first Polish rulers have settled. Modern Poznan is a vibrant metropolis, a perfect place for business, culture and entertainment. Today Poznan is a capital of the Wielkopolska region, a city with the population of nearly 600 thousand inhabitants. A student population of over 130,000 gives Poznan an incredible energy. Splendid monuments of art and architecture, representing a wide variety of styles - from the Roman style to Secession illustrate rich history of the city. Each part of Poznan prides itself on unique character.

Poznan is easy to reach by various modes of transportation. It is a railway hub where numerous regional, national and international lines converge. It offers coach services to Europe's and Poland's main cities and has its own international airport - Poznan Ławica.
