The 10 Best Sights & Landmarks in Wroclaw, Southern Poland

February 16, 2022 Leonarda Pillsbury

Surprisingly (except to Poles) pronounced VRAHTS-wahv, Wroclaw is Poland’s fourth-largest city and the capital of the Viovodship of Lower Silesia. Originally (in medieval times) built across several islands, the city still has many lovely bridges and beautiful architecture. Not far from the German border in the country’s southeast, Wroclaw gets lots of German tourists, who call it Breslau. The Rynek (central square), lined by colorful buildings, is one of the city’s most popular destinations.

Wroclaw University

Reviewed By thomasozbun - Vicenza, Italy

The historic building of the University. The university was founded in the 17th century and housed in an impressive Baroque building. After paying the entrance ticket of 12zl, free for my friend as he studies there, we headed inside. The main room, the Aula Leopoldina, though partly under refurbishment, was impressive as I though it would be, with beautiful baroque paintings and decorations. We then climbed up the stairs reaching the top of the Mathematical Tower with a beautiful view over the old town.

The views are worth the climb of the steps up the church tower in order to view the Market Square and 360 degree of the old town. The church itself is worth the visit while in Wroclaw.

Project Riese

As of today, seven systems of shelters and tunnels belonging to the “Komplex Riese” are known to exist in the Owl Mountains. The exact purpose of these facilities remains unclear even today. They are all of a similar design, corresponding to the layout of other of Adolf Hitler's subterranean headquarters.

Multimedia Fountain at Pergola

Reviewed By williammP3076DI

This is an open, world's one-of-a-kind HUGE lighted water fountain spectacle, with music, which will never be forgotten once viewed. Actual pictured images appear ON the water ! It's located in the eastern part of the city of Wroclaw ( correctly pronounced "VROTZ'-wav", in Polish ), on the grounds of the massive "Century Hall" exposition building. The easiest access to this site is by using on of the city's beautiful and modern street cars ( called "trams" ), which travel directly to and from the site.
