The Goats and The Croissants



When in Poznan, meet the goats! A true tourist delight, they emerge from the Town Hall tower daily at 12:00 and 15:00, butting heads for the amusement of the crowd. It's a must-see!

The Old Market is a unique and... just perfect. At least in the geometric sense. On the 141m square you will marvel at the townhouses and meet the famous Poznań goats on the Town Hall tower.

St. Martin's Croissants are Poznan's sweet pride. Filled with white poppy seeds, dried fruit, and nuts, this treat can be enjoyed all year round. However, it tastes best on November 11th during the lively St. Martin's Day celebrations.

As November 11th approaches in Poznan, one thing is certain: the city is filled with the scent of croissants. And not just any croissants—St. Martin's Croissants are much more than your average pastry. How is it that Poznan's bakers bake so many of them that they could feed a small country?

Visit a special place where you'll discover the secrets of our delicacy. Don the apron of a croissant apprentice at the Croissant Museum of Poznań and, under the watchful eye of the Croissant Master, bake a perfect St. Martin's Croissant.

The 'rogal świętomarciński' or St Martin's Croissant is rally unique. It can only be tasted in Poznań. It has also lived to see its museum. During a visit, which is a live demonstration, you will learn about its history and sweet taste.
