Why You NEED to Visit Poznań 🇵🇱 Poland’s Most Fun City

So we didn't ride any boats, go skydiving, or head to any music festivals, but we loved our profoundly simple weekend in Szczecin, Poland a tranquil medieval city with a name that is impossible to pronounce.

Did you know that in just over an hour from Berlin, you can be in Poland?

This is Słubice, right on the other side of the river from Frankfurt an der Oder (not the other Frankfurt ;)). Just take the regional train from Berlin Ostkreuz or Hauptbahnhof to Frankfurt an der Oder, and then walk your way through town across the border. There are a few nice restaurants and cafes, which makes a little day trip worth it in our opinion (although we think Szczecin further north is a prettier town with more to see).

And thank you to @TessanOfficial  for powering us on this journey! Their new ultra light-weight, slim 009 can charge an iPhone to 50% in just 30 minutes, works in 200+ countries, and has 4-in-1 charging capabilities… this definitely came in handy when we were on the train and only had one outlet free.

So for those in Germany that need a break from German food, this is your cue to take the train to Poland.

We Left Berlin For Lunch… and Ended Up in Poland?!

So… what is a milk bar?

Just one of our favorite types of eateries whenever we head over to Poland 🇵🇱.

These canteen-style spots (bar mleczny) originated over a century ago and became legendary during the communist era as state-subsidized canteens. Named for their original focus on cheap dairy, grain, and egg dishes when meat was scarce, many are still government-subsidized today to keep traditional Polish food affordable for everyone.

Expect nostalgic comfort food like pierogi, barszcz, and kotlet schabowy (schnitzel). While Poland’s growing economy means prices aren’t quite the dirt-cheap steal of the past, they’re still vastly cheaper than standard restaurants.

A few quick tips for your visit:
- Menus can be tricky: Menus are usually wall-mounted in Polish only… just keep Google Lens handy and go in with an open mind.
- Hours: Search ‘bar mleczny’ on Google Maps, but check times closely! Most are weekday-only and close early (around 4:00 or 5:00 PM), shutting down once the food runs out.
- Etiquette: Order at the counter, get ready for wonderfully direct, no-nonsense service, and always clear your own tray when you’re done.
