Gniezno, with its array of ancient Polish history and heritage, is a real treat for sightseeing. One of the popular attractions is the fourteenth-century Gothic cathedral, which contains some of Poland’s earlier manuscripts and relics. Its famous Bronze Door is over 3 m high and has beautiful carvings that are an excellent example of Romanesque work.
The most prized possession of the cathedral is the tomb of Saint Adalbert the Martyr (the first bishop of Prague), which is enclosed in a silver sarcophagus. If you’re in town on 23 April, which is St. Adalbert’s Day, you will be able to watch the memorial procession of his relics through the streets and visit a traditional fair held in his honour.
The Museum of the Origins of the Polish Wtate is well worth a visit. Don’t miss the nearby Lednicki Landscape Park, which is a huge area enclosing one of the biggest open-air museums in Poland—the Greater Polish Ethnographic Park.
