The Province of Great Poland has a number of tourist attractions and from among its 108 cities many of them played very important parts in Polish history. Abundant in monuments, Kalisz with one hundred thousand inhabitants, identified with Calisia, mentioned in the middle of the 2nd century by Claudius Ptolomeus. Leszno, formerly the centre of Polish reformation, today known as the centre of international cinder-track racing, gliding, ballooning and synchronous swimming competitions - organised in the "Akwawit" modern aqua park. There will be also surprises. Near mining and industrial Konin there is Licheń, a small village soaring into the sky with its presently erected monumental basilica, a little lower than that of St. Peter in Rome.

Great Poland is the oldest part of the country from the historical point of view, sometimes it is called the "cradle of the Polish state". Wielkopolska used to be the cradle of Polish statehood. Situated in the pictorial lake district, Gniezno constituted the capital city of the first Polish sovereigns- Mieszko I and Boleslaus the Brave as well as the seat of the first archbishopric, which is reminded of by the archsee and its famous Gniezno door of the 12th century with the stages of St. Adalbert' life, who brought Christianity to Poland. It is recorded by the Polish State Beginnings Museum.
