Jeżyce

This is undoubtedly one of the best student neighbourhoods in Poznan. It’s located west of the city centre and has a modern and lively atmosphere which is in constant development, with a growing cultural and gastronomic offering.

The cost of rent in Jeżyce is usually more affordable than in the centre, but, because of this and the neighbourhood's good atmosphere, rentals tend to sell out quickly.

Living in this neighbourhood is ideal for both students of the Poznan University of Life Sciences (UPP), and of the Poznan University of Economics (UEP). Also, from Jeżyce you can reach both the Śródmiejski Campus as well as the Ogrody Campus of the Adam Mickiewicz University (UAM).

In recent years, Jeżyce has been filled with trendy cafes, bars with a fun atmosphere, bookstores, and several restaurants. Most of these places offer affordable prices, so students often take advantage of the opportunity to go out and have fun and socialize.

This neighbourhood also stands out for nature lovers, and you can quickly reach parks and large green spaces such as Sołacki Park, and the forests and beaches that surround the lake Rusałka.

From Jeżyce you can reach the universities and other parts of the city with several bus and tram lines. It’s also cyclist friendly, with several routes and bike lanes that allow for safe travel.

Stare Miasto (the old town)

Stare Miasto is probably the neighbourhood with the liveliest atmosphere of this Polish city. Here are the largest number of cultural sites to visit, so it also attracts many tourists. This makes rental prices higher than in the surrounding neighbourhoods, and the streets are full of people.

In this area is the campus of the Poznan University of Economics (UEP), two campuses of the Adam Mickiewicz University (the Morasko Campus to the north and the Śródmiejski Campus in the centre), and the main campus of the Polytechnic University (PUT) is just a few minutes away.

Stare Miasto is where Poznan's nightlife takes place. It hosts most of the nightclubs of the city, which are mostly in the streets around the main square, Stary Rynek. It also has a large number of bars, cocktail bars, and restaurants with local and international cuisine.

Among the most notable interesting sites are:

  • The Old Market Square (Stary Rynek), one of the largest in Europe and which often hosts cultural events, craft markets, and festivals
  • The Croissant Museum (Rogalowe Muzeum)
  • The Imperial Castle (Zamek Cesarski w Poznaniu)
  • The Royal Castle (Zamek Królewski w Poznaniu)

To enjoy the outdoors, from Stare Miasto you can easily access the Citadel Park (Park Cytadela). This sprawling park is ideal for outdoor activities, picnics, and features military museums and contemporary sculptures, such as the famous "The Unrecognized" installation by Magdalena Abakanowicz.

The city centre is the area with the best transport connections to the rest of Poznan. Several tram and bus lines cross the neighbourhood, and the Poznań Central Train Station (Poznań Główny) is within walking distance.

Wilda

Wilda is another of the favourite neighbourhoods for students in Poznan, especially those who prefer to be in a quieter environment but with easy access to the action. It's a suburban area that combines traditional and modern architecture.

Some laboratories of the Polytechnic University (PUT) are here, and it has good connections to the other campuses of this and other institutions.

The variety of restaurants and bars in Wilda doesn't compare to the one in the central area, but it still has some options to enjoy. It doesn't have any nightclubs, although the centre of Poznan is easily accessible by tram or bus.

This neighbourhood stands out for its large green areas and parks where you can have picnics, exercise, or just go for a stroll. One of the most beautiful parks is the John Paul II Park (Park im. Św. Jana Pawła II), which has a small lake and hosts several events in the summer. You can also take advantage of the proximity to the Warta river, enjoying the little beaches on its banks or travelling through it with a kayak.

Wilda has several bus and tram lines, and here you’ll also find the main train station, Poznań Główny.

Łazarz

Łazarz is a historic district of Poznań that has a more residential environment than the others. However, its proximity to Adam Mickiewicz University (UAM) and other academic institutions makes it a convenient option for students. In addition, the cost of rent is usually cheaper than in more central areas.

In Łazarz, there’s a variety of bars, wineries, whiskey bars, and restaurants, although prices tend to be a little higher.

Among the most beautiful places to enjoy the outdoors in this neighbourhood are Jan Kasprowicz Park (with an outdoor pool, a café, and an event venue) and Wilsona Park (a garden with a small lake, water features, some sculptures, and a large greenhouse).

Łazarz is also connected to the rest of the city via tram and bus lines. In addition, it’s located next to the train station, Poznań Główny.
