Wrocław - monuments worth seeing
For lovers of monuments and discovering the history of cities, we present the most important places that are real must see in Wrocław. They impress not only with their impressive appearance. It's worth getting to know their history, because it's really interesting. It is worth starting your adventure with the most famous building in Wrocław, i.e. the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, which makes a great impression on tourists both day and night. The cathedral is also the heart of Ostrów Tumski - the oldest part of the city. What else is worth seeing in Wrocław? You will find out about it below, where we have described other places worth seeing in Wrocław.
Wrocław Market Square
Market Square in Wrocław - this is where your adventure in Wrocław should begin. The market square is over 213 meters long, which makes it the honourable third place in Poland in terms of size (just behind Krakow and Olecko). What will you see on the Wrocław market square? First of all, atmospheric rows of colourful tenement houses, as well as numerous restaurants and entertainment places. All the most important events in Wrocław are organized here, e.g. Christmas Market or St. John's Fair.
The most impressive monument on the Market Square is the Old Town Hall - it is the oldest building of this type in Poland (and also the largest). In addition to the tenement houses and the town hall, your attention will certainly be drawn to the "Zdrój" fountain, which was built in 2010 (especially in the summer, it attracts many tourists looking for refreshment), the monument to Aleksander Fredro and the historic pillory. For lovers of lookout towers, we recommend visiting the tower of the Gothic Basilica of St. Elizabeth. It offers a beautiful view of the Wrocław market square and the surrounding area.
You will also meet dwarfs on the Wrocław market square. Yes, you see right - these little creatures have taken over not only the Wrocław market square, but also the rest of the city! We have prepared a special section for you below.
Ostrów Tumski
Ostrów Tumski is the oldest and most visited part of Wrocław - its history dates back to the 10th century. Ostrów Tumski hides many unique monuments - mainly sacral ones. First of all, mention should be made of the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist (we wrote more about it below), the church of St. Idzi (the oldest church in Wrocław), a statue of John Nepomucen located in front of the Collegiate Church of the Holy Cross and St. Bartłomiej, as well as the Archdiocesan Museum.
However, we recommend you to go for a walk in this part of the city, which must necessarily include the atmospheric Tumski Bridge (called the bridge of lovers) and a walk over the Oder River.
Cathedral of St. John the Baptist (Archikatedra św. Jana Chrzciciela)
The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist is often called the "Mother of Silesian Churches". It is worth getting to know its turbulent history and unique architecture. It is one of the most popular buildings in Wrocław, visited by thousands of tourists every year. The cathedral dates from the 13th-14th century and was built in the Gothic style - what's more, it is considered the first Gothic temple in Poland. The interior is very impressive. An interesting fact is that tourists can visit the cathedral tower, where there is a viewpoint. And admiring the views from such a place is a real feast for the eyes and soul!
Centennial Hall (Hala Stulecia)
Centennial Hall is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. It is one of the most important symbols of Wrocław. It was built in the years 1911-1913 and was designed by Max Berg - a famous Wrocław architect. Currently, the Centennial Hall is a place eagerly visited by both the inhabitants of Wrocław and tourists. Concerts, exhibitions, fairs and sporting events are held here.
The hall is open to tourists, but it is worth checking before the planned visit whether it is temporarily closed due to current events.
Wrocław dwarfs
You ask where dwarves come from in Wrocław and why Wrocław is called the city of dwarves? It's all thanks to the Orange Alternative movement, which in the 1980s fought against the communist system in this way. At that time, members of the movement placed drawings of dwarfs and anti-socialist slogans on the walls of buildings. Quite recently, in 2005, it was decided that nice dwarfs would appear on the streets of Wrocław in a slightly different form - sculptures. Thanks to this, you will meet these nice inhabitants of the city in various places. Each of them has its own name - so it's worth going on a trip "following the trail of Wrocław dwarves". Searching for dwarfs hidden in various places will be a lot of fun not only for children!
Wrocław Multimedia Fountain (Wrocławska Fontanna Multimedialna)
The fountain is located right next to the Centennial Hall, and its shows are completely free for everyone. Let's start from the beginning: the fountain is surrounded by greenery and a historic pergola. There are 300 water jets, fire jets and over 800 light points. It is one of the largest multimedia fountains in Poland. Crowds of tourists come to see her shows - and no wonder - she makes a really impressive impression.
Panorama of Racławice (Panorama Racławicka)
Panorama Racławicka has been one of the most important tourist spots in Wrocław for years. Every year it is visited by hundreds of people - both students, youth, adults and seniors. The panorama shows the battle of Poles with Russians near Racławice in April 1794. The length of this work is as much as 114 meters and 15 meters high.
Neon Gallery in Wrocław
This is one of the places that has recently become more and more famous - the Neon Gallery. It is located in the Czterech Wyznań district, in the backyard at st. Ruska 46c. Especially young people liked this place in the evenings. Are you curious how it was created? It's all thanks to the Neon Side Gallery and its owner, Tomasz Kosmalski, who collects historical light advertisements. There are about 30 neon lights in the yard, which make the atmosphere of this place really amazing.
Wroclaw tourist attractions for children and adults
Now we abandon the subject of monuments in favour of tourist attractions, which will certainly appeal to families with children. Wrocław is a city where there is no room for boredom - good fun and, most importantly, a great atmosphere awaits you here. Wrocław is an open city full of smiles and good spirit. We have prepared for you a list of Wroclaw tourist attractions that you should definitely visit, especially if you are visiting Wroclaw with a child.
ZOO Wrocław
At the Wrocław Zoo you will find almost all the animals of the world - giraffes, zebras, bears, hippos and nearly 250 species of fish that can be admired in the unusual Africarium. Although various types of menageries existed in antiquity, the first modern zoological garden is considered to be the Viennese zoo, founded in 1752. Since then, zoological gardens have gone a long way of evolution. Along with the change in the approach to the natural environment, from the maxim "nature should serve man" to "man should serve nature", the role of gardens has also changed.
The area of the Wrocław Zoo is really vast - you can plan a Sunday walk here, combined with getting to know amazing animal species. Of particular interest is the iconic Africarium - a place where you can go through a water tunnel, see African animals up close, and even take a walk through a real jungle!
Hydropolis
"Everything begins with water" - this is the motto of the "Hydropolis" Water Knowledge Centre. One of the most famous museums in Wrocław delights and fascinates, although the idea to create a water museum might seem a bit eccentric. Hydropolis” consists of 7 permanent thematic zones, cyclical temporary exhibitions. There is also a special zone for children and a relaxation space with a wall made of green "moss", which symbolizes the Amazon forests seen from a bird's eye view.
In the museum you will see machines related to water engineering, you will learn how it is possible that water is on fire, you will see a simulator of snow formation, you will find out how much water a resident of Wrocław consumes, and you will find yourself in the middle of a tiger shark hunting a shoal of 1,500 tuna. There has never been such a museum before! An additional attraction is the longest water printer in Europe in front of the entrance to the Center and the fact that Hydropolis is located in the basement, which once served as a clean water reservoir. It's an absolute hit for big and small!

Kwatera Główna - Laser Tag Center
All those who want to experience a bit of a crazy adventure are invited to laser wars in the center of Wrocław! Emotions, adrenaline and competition await lovers of extreme sensations at the Kwatera Główna. This is the only place in Wrocław where you can play laser paintball!
The games take place in specially prepared basements of the building located at 8a Sienkiewicza Street, next to the Botanical Garden and in the vicinity of Ostrów Tumski. Before starting the game, participants receive Zoltar equipment: rifles emitting an infrared beam and special vests with sensors. The rifle is equipped with a special LCD display where you will find all the most important data about the game. You will learn e.g. how much ammo you have left, what shooting mode you have selected (machine gun, sniper, shotgun, grenade launcher) and thus, what is the power of the shot. On the screen you will also find data on the number of health points, battery status, remaining game time, all opponents who hit you and the status of your vest sensors. They are the ones who decide whether you will hit your opponent. If you lose all your virtual life, depending on the game mode, you must return to base or wait a certain amount of time. The Zoltar system makes realistic sounds played from the speaker located on each vest and rifle. You will hear both hit and life loss cues.
After a little preparation and training, you will enter a dark, smoke-filled maze, where the gameplay will begin. The labyrinth has an area of 430m2, is located in a building, which means it is completely independent of weather conditions and maintains a constant temperature suitable for physical activity!
If one of the players is hit by a light bolt, this fact will be immediately registered by the sensors mounted on his vest - so it won't go unnoticed!
The advantage of laser paintball is that the game is painless and safe, and the system used in it excludes the possibility of any cheating. Both individual customers of almost all ages and organized groups can participate in it.
Kwatera Główna is a perfect place to de-stress after a hard week with a group of friends, as well as to organize a bachelor party, children's birthday party or a company event. The game modes are different, you can play a 1v1 duel, although the real fun is only in a group fight (up to 14 players in the arena).
Price: PLN 45 per hour (two 20-minute games) / person. Up to 14 people in one game. We invite all daredevils!

In addition, some of the rooms contain elements of illusion - various mirrors that will provide a lot of laughter.

Adventure Fort
For those who don't have enough adrenaline, we invite you to Fort Przygody in Wrocław's Sołtysowice. This is a paintball center located in a real military training ground. This is a place for both adults and children - there are paintball games, quads, bumperball, shooting ranges for children and adults, and field games with elements of orienteering. Why is paintball an interesting adventure? Well, if only because it's like a real war, only with balls filled with colourful paint. By running away from your opponent, you will release a lot of adrenaline, learn how to work in a team and integrate with the rest of the team.
The game takes place on an almost 2-hectare field with additional obstacles: brick buildings, bunkers, tire curtains, a ditch with water and other obstacles that are supposed to diversify the fun. The entire paintball event is led by an instructor - so you are fully safe and taken care of!
At Fort Przygody, you can also spend time on quads in extremely difficult terrain. At the beginning, you will undergo a short training so that you can safely face the quads and obstacles waiting on the way. Children and teenagers up to 16 years of age can also participate in the quad ride - then the ride takes place with an instructor.
Thanks to the grill and recreation zone, full facilities and the specificity of paintball as a team game, a visit to Fort Przygody is a great idea for a getaway with a group of friends, spending an original birthday or an integration event.
Remember, however, that it is necessary to reserve seats before your visit!

Restaurants, ice cream parlours - where to eat well in Wrocław?
After a day of sightseeing, it's worth eating well! Wrocław is a city rich not only culturally, but also in gastronomy. Numerous restaurants and cafes await tourists visiting the city - from Polish, to Italian, Indian and Chinese cuisine. Check it out.
Polish Lody
A few years ago, Polish Ice cream won the hearts of the inhabitants of Wrocław and the good streak continues to this day. Delicious, natural artisanal ice cream awaits here every day - through classic, everyday flavours: cream, chocolate and strawberry, to sophisticated, sometimes bizarre and surprising flavours - through dried fruit, Snickers or Kinder flavours, through sorbets, and ending with gorgonzola ice cream. One portion should satisfy the desire for sweets without disturbing the remorse.
You can recognize Polish ice cream by the queue - on warmer days, there are long queues of people who want to try these delicacies. Be sure to take a look and answer the eternal question yourself: "is it worth standing in this queue?". We think it's definitely worth it!

Samarqand
The advantage of the Samarqand restaurant is its location close to the main railway station - so if you have just got off the train, but do not want to end your journey, Samarqand will take you on a culinary journey to Uzbekistan.
Uzbek cuisine is specific - it differs from Polish, but is similar enough to taste what traditional dishes love. Uzbekistan is dominated by fresh vegetables and strong oriental spices that remind us from afar that we are hungry. What will you find in the Samarqand menu? First of all, starters, which play an important role here: Uzbek tashkent salad, niszona, beef tongue or Uzbek soups such as solanka or ciućwara. Secondly: main dishes - kazan, kawob plow, Uzbek duck or traditional dumplings with various types of filling - manta. A specialty in Samarqand are grilled and oven dishes - warming, aromatic, perfect for winter evenings. The whole is complemented by stylish interiors, where it is as if ... luxurious! Sometimes you can even find an evening with live music here.

Thali
Already at the doorstep of each of the three Thali restaurants in Wrocław, you will be greeted by the smell of Indian spices floating in the air. Turmeric, cumin, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, chili, ginger, with which traditional Indian dishes are seasoned: curry, tikka masala, butter chicken or tandoori, trigger emotions in us even before we get the ordered dish. The Thali plate, which is the flagship item in the restaurant menu, in a meat or vegetarian version, contains a whole cross-section of Indian specialties: soups, samosa, curry, papad, naan bread, rice, salad and dessert.

Mio Gelato Ice Cream Parlor and Café
Mio Gelato ice cream is the real Italian ice cream in the heart of the city. From the beginning, the authors of this place were guided by one idea - to make ice cream honestly. By avoiding ready-made semi-finished products, not using shortcuts, do not go the easier and cheaper way. That's why the work in the ice cream parlour is in full swing from the morning. Slicing, peeling, mixing, blending, caramelizing, and (using a jewellery scale) measuring secret ingredients, so that the ice cream that is served in Mio tastes best. Pancakes with ice cream are a novelty on the Wrocław market of gastronomic sweets!
In Mio Gelato you can also drink the best quality Italian coffee and eat other desserts - cakes, waffles, tubes with cream, chocolate marshmallows, tiramisu and cakes. These delicacies cannot be missed.

Kebz Wrocław
Kebz deviates from the usual kebab pattern, which we treat rather as a quick snack - it is a project that does not copy flavours, but invents its own, new, original and surprising. Let this kebab on a plate, in a bun or tortilla with the addition of original sauces, with lots of extras such as vegetables or fries, accompanied by friendly service, become your idea for dinner. Not a quick snack - a full-fledged dinner, which you will definitely not regret! The offer also includes a veggie version with falafel.
