I am a professional tour guide offering free tours in the charming city of Poznan. After years of being a tourist, I discovered a passion for showing my beloved city to visitors. I have lived in Poznan for over 25 years so I know a lot of secret corners, passages and hidden yards of the old town that I love to show during the tours.

Walkative was established in 2007 by a group of young enthusiasts who also happened to be licensed tour guides. Today, we operate in 20 cities in countries across all of Europe and beyond, including France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Ukraine and Israel. We have already guided more than 3 million tourists, with more than 350 000 in 2023 only! Despite this growth, we stay true to our values: be local and present the history of our cities in a professional, yet entertaining way, accessible for everybody, regardless their budget. We provide service not only in big, well established places like Berlin, Paris or Krakow, but also smaller, less known, yet no less fascinating locations, like Nice, Toruń or Lublin. We cooperate with highly trained, professional guides providing both engaging tip-based and regular fixed-price tours. And most importantly - we know our cities by heart! Join us and stay Walkative!

Must-Visit Places on a Free Walking Tour Poznań in Winter

Winter in Poznań offers a magical atmosphere, especially with the city's festive decorations and holiday markets. As you explore, make sure to stop by the enchanting Old Market Square once again, where the Christmas market comes alive with stalls offering traditional Polish delicacies such as pierogi and steaming cups of grzane wino (mulled wine). The square is also a great spot for families, featuring a carousel and various activities that engage children during the holiday season.

Another must-visit is the Croissant Museum, where you can learn about the city's famous St. Martin's Croissant. This delightful pastry is a local winter specialty, and visitors can even participate in a workshop to bake their own.
