Driving to Poznań is fairly easy as it's on the main E30 highway between Warsaw and Berlin. Driving around Poznań's one way streets can be trying and as the Market Square is closed to traffic you may have to drive half way around the city to get from one side to the other.

Most parking spaces in Poznań are paid and use either chip cards or coins. Chip cards are only sold from the parking authority SPP's office so you'll most likely need coins while the prices are displayed and depend on which parking zone you find yourself in. A combination of traffic jams and car crime make it advisable to leave your car in one of the guarded car parks dotted around the city and use the local transport system to get around.
