On cloudy and cold days you can at least for a moment visit the Poznan Palm house in the Wilson's Park, barely a few hundred meters form the Main Railway Station. It is the only place in Poznan where throughout the year the temperature is kept over 20 degrees Celsius.

It is worth going for a walk to the botanic garden in Poznań now. The garden, which is a research and teaching division of the Adam Mickiewicz University, is regarded to be one of the most beautiful parks in Poznań. It celebrated the 80^th anniversary last year.

Contrary to appearances, there is also a good aspect to a snowy winter ? for fans of 'the white craze' snow and frost mean a longer ski season. In Poznan you can go skiing without leaving the city. The Malta ski slope is covered by more than 70 cm of real snow.

You can see Poznan at the turn of the 10^th and the 11^th in the basement of the Franciscan Monastery on the Hill of Przemysl, near the Old Market Square. Krzysztof Przybyła, a history enthusiast and model-maker from Poznan, has completed another model of the first Polish capital.
