Destination
Wrocław
Wrocław is a city on the Oder in southwestern Poland, known for its market square, islands and bridges, historic architecture and lively cultural scene.
When to go
Spring and early autumn are particularly good for walking. In summer, events and waterfront areas bring the city to life, while the old town is especially atmospheric in winter.
Things to see and do
Walk around the market square and Cathedral Island, explore bridges and the banks of the Oder, and visit a museum and Centennial Hall.
Practical tips
The centre is easy to explore on foot, but sights are spread across several islands and districts. Trams are practical for more distant destinations.
Getting there and getting around
Wrocław has an international airport and good rail connections to other Polish cities, as well as Germany and Czechia. Trams and buses operate within the city.
Where to stay
The old town is convenient for a first visit. Areas near the railway station suit train journeys, while Nadodrze offers a more local atmosphere.
What to try
Try pierogi, Polish soups, potato dishes and local pastries.
