Walk along the riverbank

Poznań’s biggest river can be entertaining! Mostly during hotter spring-summer months, during your walk along the river-bank you can run into lots of young people chilling and having fun. Various things to do are within your reach – barbecue with friends, jogging, visiting KontenerArt with its attractions and even fishing (and it isn’t fishy at all)! Poznań’s biggest bridges like Św. Roch’s bridge or Lover’s bridge (officially called Jordan’s or Cybina’s bridge) are great places for those of you who wish to see a sunset worth photographing.
