Top 10 things to do in Wrocław
Passed between kingdoms and countries throughout a turbulent history, Wrocław was one of Central Europe's most culturally diverse cities before it was laid to waste in World War II. Since then, it has rebuilt itself as one of Poland's most fascinating cities!
1. Racławice Panorama
This huge painting stretches 114 meters in its depiction of Poland's battle for indepence from Russia in 1794. It's so large that visitors must take a guided tour of it!
2. Wrocław Cathedral
The twin spires of Poland's first brick building form a long-standing icon of Wrocław. In summer, visitors can climb one of the spires to enjoy glorious views over the city.
3. Centennial Hall
Built in 1913 to mark the centenary of Napolean's defeat at the Battle of Leipzig, this over-the-top exhibition hall is a marvel of engineering and a survivor of both world wars!
4. Wrocław Fountain
Outside the Centennial Hall is this enormous multimedia fountain that dazzles audiences with water and light shows every hour from 10:00AM into the evening.
5. Szczytnicki Park
The city's oldest and largest park dates back to 1785. A meticulously landscaped garden tableux before the war, this park maintains a royal character but is now a bit more wild!
6. St. Elizabeth's Church, Wrocław
St. Elizabeth's is one of Wrocław's oldest churches and the resting place of over 100 prominent citizens. Also see the "Hansel & Gretel" houses just outside the church's cemetery.
7. Wrocław Zoo
The city's zoo can be reached via the scenic Zwierzyniecki Bridge. It boasts over 1,100 species, but few are as endearing as the Soviet-era neon sign above the entrance!
8. Wrocław Town Hall
This Gothic building is one of the city's key landmarks and a shoe-in on any sightseeing checklist. It's home to the Museum of Bourgeois Art and a 16th-century astrological clock!
9. Market Square (Rynek)
What appears to be an authentic medieval market square in the center of Wrocław's Old Town has in fact been meticulously rebuilt from the rubble of the city's 1945 seige.
10. Aula Leopoldina
Visit Wrocław University's main building to see the city's finest Baroque interior. Tickets include access to the Oratorium Marianum and a climb up the Mathematical Tower.

What people are saying about Wroclaw
This was a very good tour it lasted 2 hours during which our guide who spoke fluent English filled our heads with tons of information and history . The food offered was a great typical polish dish of pork tartare. We visited 3 bars drinking vodka and beer as we went Overall great fun and such a nice man
Adam was great! Excellent knowledge of the city and its history, including funny stories. We have truly enjoyed this tour. Done many walking tours across the world, but this one was the best ever. Recommend Adam with no hesitation. Thanks Adam!
Much love to our driver Bart(?) He was so kind and really took care of us. The tour itself was as you'd imagine, unsettling and upsetting but probably something we should all take the time to experience just once in our life time.
Hello! Very good, competent and varied city tour. The city guide speaks very good German, has a lot of knowledge and a nice, friendly manner! You can ask her questions that she can answer. Many greetings! thanks
