What Poznań costs
Poznań is a cheap city to look at. The goats, the cathedral and both lakes cost nothing, and you only pay for what has a roof over it.

A day in Poznań costs little, because most of what's worth seeing is free. A hostel bed is from €10.41, a set meal €2.70–5, and the priciest ticket in town is the Croissant Museum, €9.36.
Prices item by item
The goats, the cathedral with the Golden Chapel, Citadel Park, Śródka and Lake Malta are free. The June 1956 museum is free on Sundays.
The bill goes up in one place. Tickets for Porta Posnania and the Croissant Museum push it there, if you take both the same day as the 1956 museum. A separate cost is city transport to Malta and back, unless you walk it. Saving is easy, since the Stary Rynek, the goats at noon, the cathedral and the whole second day on the island and by the lake cost nothing.
Getting in from the airport
Bus 159 from Ławica airport to the centre costs €1.60 and takes about 20–25 min. The same ticket works for city transport.
