Our tour of Wrocław begins at the market square, one of the largest and most beautiful in Poland. It is surrounded by colorful tenements, and in its center stands the Old Town Hall. This impressive building houses the Museum of Burgher Art, and in its basement, you'll find the Piwnica Świdnicka.
Passing through the gate that connects the "Hansel and Gretel" houses, we will reach another attraction of Wrocław, the Gothic St. Elizabeth's Basilica. There is a viewpoint on the church tower.
Wrocław is also known as the "City of Dwarfs." Dwarf figurines, which appeared on the streets after 2000, have become an integral part of the city. Most of them can be found around the Market Square, and exploring Wrocław along the Dwarf Trail is a great idea for a family trip.
The Penitent Bridge, connecting the towers of St. Mary Magdalene Church, is one of the best viewpoints over the historic center of Wrocław. Several legends are associated with it, which we discuss in the video.
Exploring Wrocław cannot be complete without visiting Ostrów Tumski, the oldest part of the city. It is rich in sacral monuments such as the Archcathedral of St. John the Baptist, St. Martin's Church, or St. Giles' Church.
Another attraction of Wrocław is the Market Hall, a popular trading place where you can buy fresh fruits, cheeses, or coffee.
What else is worth seeing in Wrocław? Of course, the Panorama of Racławice, the largest painting in Poland, depicting the Battle of Racławice. It is a branch of the National Museum in Wrocław, where you can find a rich collection of art from the Middle Ages to modern times.
An attraction of Wrocław, especially worth visiting in late spring, is the Botanical Garden, one of the oldest botanical gardens in Poland. It offers beautiful vegetation and is an ideal place for a walk.
While exploring Wrocław, it is also worth visiting Nadodrze, where you can find Colorful Courtyards. After entering one of the gates to the interior of the estate, murals that are part of the "Courtyard Art Studio" project are revealed.
Hydropolis is another place worth seeing in Wrocław. It is a modern educational center dedicated to water-related issues. In Hydropolis, each room is equipped with interactive boards. You can also watch thematic films here.
Wrocław Zoo is the oldest zoological garden in Poland. On its premises, there is a modern pavilion, Afrykarium, dedicated exclusively to the fauna of Africa. In the Wrocław Zoo, you can also see many other interesting places.
Centennial Hall is one of the main attractions in Wrocław. Currently, concerts, exhibitions, fairs, and other artistic events take place in the hall. Next to Centennial Hall, there is the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Multimedia Fountain.
Another attraction of Wrocław is Szczytnicki Park, one of the most beautiful parks in Wrocław. It houses the Japanese Garden, where you can feel the atmosphere of oriental gardens.
"Under the Viaduct" is a unique space located under a railway viaduct, consisting of premises located under the viaduct. This place attracts residents and tourists looking for original culinary experiences in an unusual setting.
