Things to do in Wroclaw, Southern Poland: The Best Cultural Tours

September 2, 2021 Phylicia Berquist

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.

US military family of four, stationed in Bavaria and in Wroclaw for a weekend, and were fortunate enough to book a 3 hour walking tour with Sean. He did a terrific job and was well-versed in the fascinating history of this city and the region of Silesia. My teenaged kids enjoyed it thoroughly - just as much as we did. Absolutely recommend any Soldier here for a weekend book with Viadrina and ask for Sean.

My best friend visited all the way from the US and although we were a bit tight on time, I couldn't help but want to show her the city I lived in for the first 10 years of my life. Wrocław City Guide was recommended to me by a colleague of mine as "the best way to experience everything Wrocław has to offer in a short amount of time". I decided to give it a try and called the company - a very polite man picked up the phone and we had no trouble booking a trip for the next day! The trip itself was very nice as well. Within less than 2 hours we saw pretty much everything Wrocław had to offer, all thanks to our amazing guide whose name I sadly don't remember (I think it started with A? - anyway, you were AWESOME dude, thank you once again!). He spoke perfect English which was just ideal considering my best friend isn't well versed in Polish. I was also shocked at the amount of interesting trivia about Wrocław we were told - some things I'd never heard before (shame on me, a previous citizen...). Another nice touch was being able to stop outside of more important buildings like churches and briefly go inside for pictures. All in all, we left Wrocław very satisfied. My American friend was in love with the city and she hopes to come back again one day which is exactly what I was aiming for. Thank you Wrocław City Guide for this great experience!
