Wroclaw and Lower Silesia - what is worth visiting?
|
Wrocław is one of the most beautiful cities in Poland. It is the fourth biggest Polish city and the capital of Lower Silesia. Situated on the river Odra and its four tributaries, it is an exceptional city of 12 islands and 112 bridges. It has over 650 thousand inhabitants.
In the recent years Wrocław has been regaining its well-deserved renown of a city with a great tourist potential. As a place boasting an unusually eventful history, beautiful architecture and picturesque scenery, it now rivals Kraków - recently considered the most "fashionable" city in Europe. The history of our city dates back to around the 10th century. Legend has it that the city was founded by Vratislaus II, Duke of Bohemia, and this is where the city got its name from. Wrocław's rich, multi-cultural and multi-religious history has contributed to the fact that everybody can find here innumerable tourist attractions. The most popular and most frequently visited places in Wroclaw, in our opinion, are the following: - Old Town Square and its vicinity - Ostrów Tumski and the Cathedral - Panorama of the Battle of Racławice - historical University of Wrocław - Zoological Gardens - Szczytnicki Park, with the Hala Ludowa (People's Hall, or the Hall of the Century), the Japanese Garden and the Pergola - National Museum - Synagogue and Old Jewish Cemetery.
