About this tour
This session walks through Poznan's Palm House, one of the largest in Europe, from the main hall of palms and tropical plants to a separate section for cacti and desert species. You see the scale of the glasshouse and a handful of its more unusual specimens. It is a green, quiet session away from the old town's stone streets.
I start with a sound check under the main dome, then walk between the palms towards the cactus section, pointing out specimens along the way. Questions are welcome throughout, and I send a short note afterwards on the collection's history.
This suits anyone who enjoys botanical gardens or wants a calmer, greener session. It also works well on a rainy day when outdoor walks are less appealing.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included
- Internet connection
- Travel to the city
Itinerary

Among the Palms 15 min
You see rows of palms and tropical plants under the glass of one of Europe's largest palm houses, and I explain how the collection has grown since it opened in the 1910s.

Time to ask anything about Poznan: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 3 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Poznań duck with potato dumplings and red cabbage and Stare Miasto (Old Town), worth a slower look.
