What to do in Wroclaw? This city located in south-central Poland has so much to offer. From stunning architecture, to fantastic food and culture, Wroclaw is an ideal destination for anyone looking to explore a new place. Let’s take a look at some of the attractions and activities available in the city of Wroclaw.

Visit the Main Square

Located in the old town square, in the heart of Wroclaw, is a must-see attraction – The Rynek. Here you will find numerous cafes within the city’s beautiful arcades, major landmarks in the form of a Gothic town hall as well as the statue of a local hero, Tadeusz Rejtan.

The square is a hub for locals, tourists, street performers and musicians and provides a good starting point for exploring the city. It is framed by unique historical buildings and market stalls, which sell everything from souvenirs to fresh produce.

One aspect of Wroclaw that draws visitors from all over the world is its mix of striking architecture. The city has architecture from various time periods, such as gothic, renaissance and baroque.

Those wanting to explore Wroclaw’s architectural gems should make it a point to visit the Church of St. Elizabeth and St. Piotr, located in the very heart of Wroclaw’s old town. This baroque-style Catholic Church with its onion-shaped spires and magnificent colorful stained glass windows is one of the most impressive sights in the city.

The University of Wroclaw is one of Europe’s oldest universities and located near the market square. Founded in 1702, the university has a student population of over 25,000 students. It boasts quite a striking architecture and its main court is surrounded by 130 columns.

The Wroclaw Palace has been standing since the 13th century and is surely one of Wroclaw’s most majestic sites. The Raclawice Panorama was created on the same land where an important battle was fought during the Kosciuszko Insurrection in 1794, which ultimately led to Poland’s liberation from Russian rule.
