Let’s All Do the Poznan - Football Tour
Poznan, Poland
Culture shock rating
Worried we’re going to shock your senses? Relax! We believe part of the fun of travel is immersing yourself in the destination and its culture, meeting the people, and learning what makes the place tick. We’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The cultural shock rating ranks how different the experience is from most Western cultures. But no matter the level, don’t worry, you’ll have a local, in-the-know guide with you every step of the way.
Low
Consider these tours your 101 intro to a place. Transportation might be private or a very comfortable public option, and the activities are usually visits to iconic sites and locations that are familiar to most Western cultures – but that will still give you fantastic insight into a destination.
Medium
Expect to rough it for parts of this tour, whether that’s on a packed public bus or in a local market off the tourist trail. There might be a few language barriers or unfamiliar cultural customs, and you’ll get an experience different from what you're used to at home.
High
You're out there in the global community! We’re going to take you down streets you’d rarely explore on your own, introduce you to local customs and languages, and take you for a ride in whatever transport is available. Get ready to take it as it comes, whatever comes. There might be a shock, but oh man, it’s worth it.
Physical rating
Worried our tours are too tough? Relax! From leisurely strolls to muscle-burning treks, we’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The physical grading gives you an idea of how much huffing and puffing you can expect on the tour.
Low
Slow and steady is all you need here. These tours have very limited physical activity, such as walking relatively flat streets, sites, or markets, and climbing in and out of the transport provided.
Medium
Not too hard, not too soft, these tours are just right! You can expect a bit of physical activity, but nothing overly challenging – perhaps walking up and down hills, riding a bike for up to 30 kilometers along mostly flat terrain, or jumping in a kayak for a gentle paddle on flat water.
High
Get ready for a workout! These tours are our most challenging and involve intense walking, hiking, kayaking, swimming, or bike riding. You could be making steep climbs by foot or pedal, or working your core in the water. We recommend you have a good level of fitness to join this tour.

We start our tour in the Wilda district where the story of the Lech Poznan football club began. This is also where we’ll see some street art murals made by football fans. You’ll be introduced to the team’s history and background and we’ll talk about some of the team’s most famous players and the contributions the club has made to modern Polish football.
After your crash course in local football, we’ll take the tram to get closer to the city centre. But first, we’ll get some fuel before the game, in the form of the famous zapiekanka, an open sandwich usually topped with sautéed mushrooms and cheese. We’ll get ours from an iconic stand only known by locals, obviously.
Next, we’ll walk to the Jeżyce district to find a sports bar for a beer before we move on. We’ll be surrounded by all sorts of football super-fans watching various games. Meanwhile, we’ll discuss the team line-up, strategy for the day’s game, and league standings — all explained by your local guide, a lifelong footie fan.Once we’re ready to go, we’ll take a tram, full of blue-and-white-dressed fans, to get to the stadium. Once we get there, we’ll have time to take a picture with a huge steam train (Lech was originally founded as a railway team) and make an optional shopping stop in the official club's merchandise shop in case you want to pick up some team gear to show your support.
With our blue-and-white outfits on and heads filled with football knowledge, we’re ready to take our seats at the stadium and see the intensity that goes into how the football club’s biggest fans show their unwavering support. Their choreography, known as “doing the Poznan” gets everyone revved up and excited about the game.
Your tour ends after the game but before you go, don’t forget to ask your local guide for tips on what else there is to see and do in Poznan. Your guide will also be happy to advise you on the best way to get back to your accommodation or some other central city location.
