Wroclaw

The Venice of Poland.

Video about Wroclaw

Many may know Wroclaw by its former German name, Breslau. Wroclaw certainly has had a complex past. It has gone under five different names, moved between four countries and was almost completely destroyed during World War II. Wroclaw has emerged from these hardships to create an identity with a colorful culture and plenty of atmosphere to match. Its exploding popularity comes as no surprise. The city is a collection of fascinating architecture and several Gothic churches. There are also 130 bridges crossing scenic waterways, and connecting 12 islands and a number of lush riverside parks.

The local government has shown an energetic desire to return Wroclaw to its pre-war heyday. An extensive program of restoration and regeneration has seen Wroclaw emerge as Poland's most exciting city. Wroclaw has a compact city center, so all of its highlights can easily be reached on foot. The city features the second largest medieval market square in Europe (only Krakow's is larger). Wroclaw's character is unmistakable. Think bright buildings buzzing with lively cafes and restaurants. Wroclaw has a lively cultural scene. The hotels range from low-key to world-class. A visit to Warsaw will be a highlight of your vacation in Poland.

What I love about Wroclaw

Team Leader for Central Europe & Baltic Region

I loved spending time in the historic center of Wroclaw. The whole aspect of the "Venice of the North" is also impressive, referring to the vast amount of bridges around.

JayWay Travel took the worry out of the trip details and allowed us to focus on the joy of travel. I have never traveled this way before but I am a convert. We especially liked the personal choices we were able to make rather than be stuck in a large, impersonal group.
