Luggage storage Poznań

Store your luggage around Poznań with Bounce 

Warsaw and Krakow will get most of the headlines, but Poznań isn’t a flyover city by any stretch of the imagination. It was Poland’s capital throughout various periods of the country’s long history, and it’s been one of the primary cities for a thousand years. This explains the prevalence of museums, historical landmarks, and political monuments that dot the city. 

Like many cities in Poland, there’s a modern streak to both the architecture and culture. There’s a seriously underrated restaurant scene that offers flavors old and new and, more interestingly, traditional and global cuisines. There are also plenty of modern amenities and retail districts where you can find familiar international brands as well as local boutiques and shops. 

The walled Old Town is as charming and quaint as they come, with centuries worth of well-preserved and restored architecture, cobbled streets, and delightful town squares. The center of this is the Market Square, which is Poznań’s beating heart for traditional culture. The stunning Renaissance-style Town Hall and Poznań Cathedral have been symbols of the city for generations. 

Here’s everything you need to know about visiting Poznań and the best ways to store luggage while you're in town:

Top things to do in Poznań

Upon arrival in Poznań, most travelers immediately make their way to Old Town. This is understandable, especially for American travelers. Seeing the gorgeous Old Market Square and Town Hall will be the perfect introduction to the city. You’ll want to sample some Polish food at the traditional restaurants and cafés that line the cobbled streets of the neighborhood, and there are plenty of shops to get the souvenir shopping out of the way. 

If you’re a curious soul, you’ll want to hit the museums, which are plentiful in Poznań. You can unpack the history of Poland, or you can explore headier topics like croissants (we’re not kidding). After getting your fill of history and culture, you can always enjoy the city’s amazing dining and nightlife scenes. Poznań is a proper modern European city, so you’ll find international cuisine and sleek nightlife options in the city center. The craft beer craze is as alive in Poznań as it is in Portland, so beer drinkers will have plenty of pubs and breweries to look into as well. 

Museums in Poznań

Croissant Museum 

The Muzeum Rogalowe puts Poznań's culinary heritage at center stage in this unique museum. Its programming explores everything you’ll ever need to know about making St. Martin's croissants, a local specialty. There are interactive exhibits and baking workshops that provide hands-on experience into the world of this delicious pastry, and there is ample information about the history of this delicacy and how it relates to Poznań. 

Imperial Castle

Originally built by the German Empire under Kaiser Wilhelm II, this architectural gem is famous for its neo-Romanesque design and regal interior. It’s been repurposed from a palace into a museum where visitors can learn about Polish history and how the city of Poznań has changed hands between countries over the centuries. 

National Museum in Poznań

While it may sound less fun than its pastry-themed counterpart, the National Museum is renowned for its diverse collection of Polish and European works. You’ll find mostly paintings and sculptures from various periods and movements, but there are multimedia and applied arts from contemporary artists. There are several other branches of the museum to explore if you want to learn about Polish history, music, and culture. If you're not too familiar with the country and want to get a good overview, this is a fantastic place to start.

The historical landmarks are unlikely to have luggage storage facilities, but most Poznań museums will have luggage lockers, but these will only be available during opening hours. If you want to find a place to store the bags for an entire day, Bounce is your best option. 

Shopping in Poznań

Galeria Malta

This is one of the largest shopping malls in the city, with hundreds of stores selling basically anything you can imagine. It’s situated outside of the city center in the Malta neighborhood, but the trip takes less than 15 minutes by car, and the #13 train stops just outside the mall. 

Poznań Old Town

Old Town won’t have as many designer brands that fashionistas desire, but you’ll find no shortage of local shops worth popping into. There will be plenty of stores selling traditional Polish crafts and gifts that make for stellar souvenirs. Clothes, shoes, housewares, and food items are all available in the area.

Stary Browar

If you’re looking to really shop, then this upscale shopping center should be your first port of call. With a bright, industrial-chic design, this retail space is the ideal setting for international designer brands and luxury boutiques. You’ll also find art galleries, accessory stores, and very expensive jewelry. In other words, stay away from Stary Browar if you’re on a VERY tight budget…

Lugging the bags around Poznań’s retail hotspots will only slow you down, so it's better to store luggage while you shop. Of the city’s luggage storage options, Bounce has the best locations and service when you're heading out for some retail therapy. 

Restaurants in Poznań

Zagroda Bamberska

Between the architecture and cityscape, Poznań’s cultural heritage will always have some elements of its German history, and the cuisine is no different. This restaurant, housed in a historic building, melds the two cuisines perfectly with its hearty dishes driven by local ingredients from its own gardens. Bamber bread, wild boar, and indulgent żurek soup make for a warming meal. 

Concordia Taste

If you’ve had enough traditional Polish food, head to this stylish modern restaurant for some inventive contemporary cuisine. The minimal, post-industrial dining room boasts an open-kitchen format, so you can see these expert chefs at work as they conjure up all manner of abstract cuisine. 

Cucina 88

It’s unlikely you were expecting to dine at your new favorite Italian restaurant, but head to this cozy kitchen for perfectly charred Neapolitan pizzas and an amazing selection of authentic pasta and seafood. With a wood-fired oven, this is as authentic as it gets (outside of Italy). The prices are affordable here, and the staff is very accommodating.

If date night or a fancy meal falls on a travel day, you might want to look into baggage storage for a few hours. That way, you’re not lugging the bags into a nice restaurant and don't have to worry about them.
