My hometown :)

My dearest hometown- Gniezno... An average town in Greater Poland. It is situated 50km from Poznań and has got circa 70 000 inhabitants. You should know that Gniezno: was the first capital of Poland, boasts of a famous Cathedral and many old churches and bla, bla, bla...


Our famous Cathedral and Old Market.














This is exactly where I live - Winiary housing estate. :)))










So, after this middle-of-the-road introduction, I'd like to present Gniezno to all of you the way I see it, from the point of view of a student. :)

It is worth saying that not that long time ago, there weren't many schools where young people could educate on a higher level. Unlike now. There are two public colleges and quite a few private ones.


Kolegium Europejskie- it's a subsidiary of Adam Mickiewicz University.
Did you know that our Teacher Training College students had classes there, as well? ;)


Threfore, Gniezno has become more of a 'student town' recently. In my opinion, the best place to go and spend time with friends is 'Młyn'- a music club situated in the center of Gniezno.










Another important issue for students? Especially for females? Yes, you guessed- shopping ;)
I think that this memorable event happened more or less three years ago... 'Galeria Gniezno' was built (near my house, actually). :) Dozens of shops, boutiques, a cinema... Yes, it's certainly one of most popular places to hang around during the weekends.






My feelings about Gniezno? Well, I simply adore it. Its specific atmosphere, smiling faces, friends, places that remind of my childhood... Gniezno is a really pleasant place to live.You can't be bored with it too easily. It's a living town. Yet, not too hectic. You won't feel 'overwhelmed' with it . Despite the fact that it's not too big, it's not like that 'everybody knows everybody'. ;) People feel here 'like home' and, at the same time, can remain anonymous.

Is Gniezno worth visiting? If you want to know the answer, come and check. ;) I mean, there's nothing spectacular, shocking... Certainly, it's a really welcoming town where it's pleasant to spend some time in.

Believe it or not, many trips come to Gniezno each year. Well, it's true that these are either children from primary school or elderly Germans. :D But still- tourist industry is thriving! :D

Last but not least... We're going to have a McDonald's in one month. :) Finally, you won't hear these young tourists sighing with disappointment: 'Oh no... NO MCDONALD'S here??? Omg... ' ;)

So, I hope to see you in Gniezno someday ;)

Ciao,
Dżastina :)
