What to look for when choosing accommodation near the station
When searching for a place to stay near Poznań Główny, keep these things in mind:

- Parking – if you are leaving your car and travelling by train, check if parking is free. City-centre parking costs 30–60 PLN/day
- Late arrivals – not all properties accept check-in after 22:00. Look for places with self check-in
