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.

Our Museum is usually additionally open on holidays - check it on our the website!
Really interesting museum for vintage computer and arcade games. We visited on a Sunday morning so also had a pleasant experience walking through the open air market for locals to reach the venue. A journey through the ages with capability of playing games such as Pong, Street Fighter 2, Duke Nukem, Sensible Soccer and Mario Kart 64, which were personal indicators of my misspent youth. Fascinating to see things like ‘Game and Watch’ and ‘Aaaaghh’, which in the latter case haven’t seen for 30 odd years! Cheap entry, ‘free’ credits, great visit.

A 400ft x 50ft painting that commemorates the Battle of Raclawice in 1794.
There are few of these panoramas left in the world and seeing this amazing piece of history come to life through the display and narration offers a terrific peek into Polish history. Do not miss this if you happen to be in Wroclaw!

Not far from Wroclaw - great place for spending the afternoon. Lot's of walking paths in a beautiful scenery. And a must is to visit the Automobile Museum with interesting exhibits and very safe for visitors. Parking spaces easily available. And ladies were enjoying free entrance, since it was the Women's Day weekend.

Hydropolis is an ultra-modern exhibition dedicated to water. This is the only such facility in Poland, and one of the few in the world. The exhibition area is more than 4 000 square meters. A total of 70 interactive installations awaits visitors in eight themed areas.
A fantastic exhibition all about water and everything to do with water, the water sculptures by the entrance are very impressive, we all enjoyed the whole experience. We went originally to go and buy tickets on the gate, but they were full and could not sell us a ticket. So later on another day, we booked in advance on line, with a specified entrance time, this was no issue to do. On our arrival there was a long queue of people trying to get in, but as we had tickets bought in advance online we just went to the head of the queue and were let in. So if you are intending to go, book online. Inside the premises is a pleasant cafe, worth a visit. You will not regret going.

The depot on Grabiszynska street in Wroclaw is an extraordinary place. A beautiful complex dating back to the end of the 19th century was a "witness" to the complex history of the city. The depot, just as the whole city, was left in ruins after the II World War, because of the siege of Festung Breslau. In 1945 the superpowers decided that Breslau would become Polish Wroclaw. "The Depot" History Centre is a modern historical exhibitions. The main core of The Depot is arrange in the old bus hall and will be devoted to the post-war history of Wroclaw, Lower Silesia and other regions that became a part of Poland in a result of II World War. The exposition was created on the basis of souvenirs, documents and photographs given by Wroclaw citizens. Thanks to that, people of Wroclaw metaphorically built the exhibition by themselves. The Depot also provide cross-cultural dialoque and reflections on the future of Europe.
I walked from Rynek because I like seeing different neighborhoods on the way. I’m so glad I did. I had read a book called Festung Breslau about the unique history of Wroclaw. This museum made the rich story of the city’s past come alive through interactive displays, video, and great visuals. I have been continually amazed at what good storytellers the Polish people are through their museums. Very well done and a great experience.
