Wroclaw has one of the most beautiful market squares in Poland, and I even dare to say in Europe. The medieval Market Square is now a pedestrian zone and the heart of the city. Around the square, you can admire numerous colorful houses, one prettier than another. Some of them still hold their historical names, associated with their exterior details...
When doing Wroclaw sightseeing you will quickly stumble across small dwarves, many of them. Currently, there are around 400 of them and the number is constantly growing! Dwarves are the legacy of Orange Alternative, an underground protest movement that was fighting with the system in the 1980s using methods that were considered funny. The first dwa...
The cafe scene in Poland is growing, new places are popping up and Wroclaw is no exception here. Whenever Wroclaw sightseeing tires you or you just want to relax with the cup of coffee there are plenty of places you can stop at. Here are some of my favorite cafes and those recommended by my local friends from Wroclaw: 1. Gniazdo 2. Etno Cafe 3. Mle...
Due to the long and rich history, Wroclaw is a real mix of architecture styles. They all work together really well, creating an interesting blend in the cityscape. You can find here Romanesque church, Gothic (mostly churches and the town hall), Renaissance (houses in the Market Square), Baroque (University), Neoclassical (Opera), Historicism (Main ...
I love looking at the cities from above to see it from a different perspective. Fortunately, Wroclaw offers some amazing viewpoints that will help you get to know the city better. I’ve visited four of them (and one more that is not really accessible) but apparently I missed the best one – from the tower of the Garrison Church (there is always a rea...
Wroclaw, together with cities like Saint Petersburg, Hamburg or Amsterdam, is known as “Venice of the North”. The second longest river in Poland – Odra – goes through Wroclaw, four smaller rivers confluent to Odra within the city’s borders. There is also an extensive network of canals as well as moss. Wroclaw is a perfect city to see from the water...
The former island of Ostrów Tumski is the oldest part of Wroclaw, with remnants of the first settlement from the 10th century. You need to come here for the viewpoint at the tower of Cathedral of St. John Baptist but there is more to see in the area. Most of the buildings you will find here are religious but they are of the extremely high historica...
You can find beautiful market halls in many places around the world (recently I visited a really lovely one in Santiago de Chile) but the one in Wroclaw is different than others. It looks impressive already from the outside but it’s still nothing in comparison with the interior. The market hall was built between 1905 and 1908 in the place where the...
A few years ago a tv-show called “Belfer” (“Teacher”) was very popular in Poland, I’ve been watching it too. The second season was filmed in Wroclaw and one of the main venues was the main building of the Faculty of Architecture. The building dates back to the very beginning of the 20th century and it was designed by leading Wroclaw’s architects of...
It’s no surprise I like brutalism architecture and try to find it everywhere. And I did it in Wroclaw too. Besides the Market Hall that can be considered brutalist (even if it was built years before this style was popular) I really enjoyed the blocks of flats next to Grunwaldzki Bridge. So-called “sedesowce” (or “Wroclaw’s Manhattan”) were designed...
