Gniezno attractions – what to see in the first capital of Poland

It is about 3 km – a few minutes by car. Free parking is right by your room entrance, so getting to the cathedral, the museum and the old town is very convenient.

By car it is convenient thanks to the nearby A2 motorway and the S5 expressway. Gniezno also lies on an important railway line – from Poznań the train usually takes about 35–45 minutes. Long-distance buses also serve the town. With us you park free of charge right by your room entrance.

Start with the cathedral with the Gniezno Doors and the relics of St Adalbert, and Lech Hill, then the Museum of the Origins of the Polish State. In the afternoon it is worth walking around Lake Jelonek and the old town, and ending the day with a coffee on the market square.

It was in Gniezno that the famous Congress of Gniezno took place in the year 1000, and Poland’s first kings were crowned in the cathedral, with Bolesław the Brave in 1025 at the forefront. The town was also an important church centre with the relics of St Adalbert.

For Gniezno itself (the cathedral, museums, old town, lakes) 1–2 days are enough. If you plan trips along the Piast Route – Ostrów Lednicki, Dziekanowice, Biskupin or Kruszwica – it is worth staying 3 days or more.

Yes. The multimedia Museum of the Origins of the Polish State, a ride on a historic narrow-gauge railway, the open-air museum in Dziekanowice, the Biskupin settlement, the ZOO Safari in Rogowo and the beach at Lake Świętokrzyskie mean children will not be bored.

It is about 50 km to Poznań, about 20 km to Ostrów Lednicki and the open-air museum in Dziekanowice, and about 30 km to the archaeological reserve in Biskupin. All these places are part of the Piast Route and easy to combine in one trip.

Gniezno is worth visiting all year round, but spring and summer bring the most outdoor events and historical re-enactments, and the weather is good for walks by the lakes. September is the time of the famous Archaeological Festival in nearby Biskupin.
