This guide covers the practical essentials: where to stay, what's on, and how to make the most of your time in the city.

Why Poznań is on the international radar in 2026

Poznań has long been Poland's trade fair capital. The Poznań International Fair (MTP) hosts dozens of events throughout the year. At the same time, the city's cultural offer has grown substantially. Malta Festival – a multidisciplinary arts event combining theatre, music, dance and performance – returns in June 2026 for its 35th edition, with an international programme featuring artists from across Europe and the world. Add to that a revitalised riverfront, new cycling infrastructure along the Warta, and a well-connected city centre, and you have a destination that works equally well for a three-day business trip and a two-week cultural immersion.

Best areas to stay in Poznań in 2026

The city centre is the natural choice for most international visitors. It puts you within easy reach of MTP – a short tram ride or a brisk 20-minute walk from the Old Market Square – as well as the main railway station, restaurants, and the cultural venues used by Malta Festival.

A few neighbourhoods worth knowing:

• Stare Miasto (Old Town) is the most central option, with the Old Market Square as its focal point. It's well-connected, walkable, and surrounded by some of the city's best dining and nightlife. Apartments in this area work particularly well for leisure stays and cultural visits.
• Around MTP (Głogowska/Towarowa) is the pragmatic choice for trade fair visitors. Several Super-Apartamenty locations – including the International Fair series on Towarowa Street – are designed with business guests in mind: larger floor plans, dedicated workspace, and straightforward access to the fairgrounds.
• City Park (Wyspiańskiego) offers a quieter, residential feel while remaining close to the centre. The complex includes access to a swimming pool and sauna facilities – a genuine advantage for longer stays or wellness-oriented visits.

Serviced apartments vs hotels in Poznań – what works better for business and expat stays

For short business trips, a hotel is often the default choice. But for stays of three nights or more – especially during trade fair season or cultural festivals – serviced apartments in Poznań typically offer better value and more practical comfort. The difference becomes most apparent when you factor in workspace, privacy, and flexibility. A well-equipped apartment gives you a separate bedroom, a kitchen for preparing meals, fast Wi-Fi, and the freedom to come and go without hotel schedules. For teams travelling together, a larger apartment is often more cost-effective than booking multiple rooms.

For expats and professionals on longer assignments, Super-Apartamenty also offers long-term rental options in Poznań – fully furnished apartments available for stays of a month or more, with flexible terms and immediate move-in readiness. This kind of arrangement suits relocation situations particularly well: you get a functioning home without the administrative overhead of setting up a new tenancy from scratch.

Planning a longer stay in Poznań as an expat or remote worker

Poznań is increasingly popular among professionals relocating from Western Europe, and it's easy to see why. The cost of living is competitive by EU standards, the city centre is compact and walkable, public transport is reliable, and the quality of available housing – including serviced apartments – has improved considerably in recent years. For remote workers and digital nomads, the combination of fast internet, a well-functioning city infrastructure and a lively cultural scene makes Poznań a practical and enjoyable base.

Plan ahead – Poznań is busier than you might expect!

Whether you're coming just for a weekend, spending a week at Malta Festival, or settling in for several months, the right accommodation makes a significant difference to how the stay unfolds. Browse the Super-Apartamenty offer and find the apartment that fits your itinerary, your budget and the pace you want to keep.
