The 10 Best Things to do in Wroclaw, Southern Poland
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.

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.

We visited on All Saints Day when most other attractions were closed. The zoo is open every single day of the year! It was quiet when we got there and this meant we were able to see everything really close up. The zoo was decorated beautifully for autumn, with many of the animals being treated to pumpkins! Entrance fee was very reasonable at 50zloty, 40 with reduction (need ID). We started our visit with the outside areas and our highlights were the giraffes, rhino, wild cats, lions and monkeys. Some areas of the zoo are old and need some investment, especially the elephant area which is too small and run down. The main attraction at the zoo is the Afrykarium. This is a huge, modern building in the centre of the zoo and has obviously cost a lot of money. The design is fabulous - penguins and sea lions can be observed from both outside and inside under the water. There is a sea life section with a see through tunnel where you can observe sharks, sting rays, turtles etc. And the absolute highlights for us were the hippos and the manatees, again which can be observed from all angles. The animals in these areas had lots of space and their habitats seemed really well designed. We have never seen manatees before, so this was a real treat. We also used the cafe in Afrykarium for delicious cake. Hopefully the revenue from this new attraction will help the zoo to invest in some of the enclosures which need some work.

Had a great time looking for the famous gnomes in Wroclaw. And apparently I wasn’t the only one either! It was fun finding the little friends and it made the sightseeing around Wroclaw even more enchanting. Would definitely advise anyone to look for them. I found over 50 of the little sculptures.
