What it's like to live in Stare Miasto
Stare Miasto wraps around the colourful Old Market Square (Stary Rynek) and the surrounding grid of tenement streets, packed with restaurants, bars, museums, and the city's main tourist draws. The housing stock is mostly pre-war kamienice — high-ceilinged, characterful apartments, often renovated, sometimes still tired — alongside a handful of newer infills. It is intensely walkable and superbly served by trams, so most renters here skip a car entirely. The trade-offs are real: weekend-night noise near the square, limited parking, and the highest rents in Poznań. It draws professionals, couples, and short- and medium-term expats who prize location above all.
