Things to do

Rynek

The city center, Rynek, is the heart of Wrocław and Carissa's favorite place in possibly the world.

Plac Solny

Translated as 'salt square' this market square now has a flower market that is open almost 24/7.

St. Elizabeth's Tower

Climb the tower for beautiful views of the city.

Ceramika Vena Pottery Shop

Carissa's favorite pottery store in the city.

Opera Wrocławska

Check out the website for tickets for ballets, operas, and other performances.

Muzeum Panorama Racławicka

For the history buffs-a 30 minute audio guide of a famous battle in Poland, represented on a 360 3-D painting.

Bridge of Penitents

Another tower with views of Rynek. Slightly easier climb than St. Elizabeth's.

Lamplighter in Ostrów Tumski

In the evening, keep your eyes out for the lamplighter, who can be seen lighting the gas lamps in the neighborhood. Read the article below for more information.

Wrocław Cathedral

Cathedral dedicated to St. John the Baptist, the oldest parts of which date back to the 10th century.

Botanical Garden of the University of Wrocław

Beautiful botanical garden.

Centennial Hall

Historic building featured in many photos and paintings of Wrocław.

ZOO Wrocław

Surprisingly large, recently renovated zoo, with a genuinely impressive Africarium.

Wrocławska Fontanna Multimedialna

Almost every hour there is a water + music show. Lovely area to grab a snack and sit by the fountain. Check the website for show times.

Japanese Garden

Beautiful Japanese Garden to walk around in for an hour or two.

Sky Tower Viewpoint

Sky Tower is the tallest building in Wrocław, and possibly the world (at least if you ask some of Carissa’s students). It has a large viewing deck that gives a great view of the whole city.

Aquapark Wrocław

Large indoor/outdoor water park, fun for kids and adults. Also has a huge sauna section and a lap pool.

Our Favorite Casual Restaurants

Talerzyki

One of our favorite restaurants in the city, Talerzyki means 'small plates' in Polish. A Middle Eastern restaurant in 'Nasyp', a collection of fun restaurants and bars under train tracks.

Georgian food and restaurants have been on the rise in Europe for the past couple years, and this is one of our favorites. A classic dish is khachapuri, which is a bread bowl filled with some combination of cheese, eggs, potatoes, meat, or vegetables. U Gruzina is also located right next to Talerzyki, so you can peak in and see which one looks good.

Spiż

Traditional basement beer hall with house made brews. Try the smalec to go with a beer (lard with bacon bits on bread).

Iggy Pizza

Our favorite pizza place in Wrocław.

Pizzeria Mania Smaku Racławicka

Our other favorite pizza place in the city.

Vega

A vegetarian Polish restaurant that's been in the center of Rynek for over 20 years. Known for their soups, but delicious all around.

Peruwiana

Peruvian restaurant located near the historic White Stork Synagogue, they have a fun interior design and excellent pisco sours (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic).

Korill180

Wrocław has a surprisingly large Korean population, and a number of good Korean barbecue restaurants have opened in the past several years. Korill is great, and also does a good hotpot.

ZAAB แซ่บ

Located in city center, this is one of our favorite Thai places in Wrocław, especially for their curries. It can be a little hard to find a seat, but Pha Tha Thai, which is right around the corner, is a good backup.

PAMPA

Argentinian-run restaurant specializing in empanadas, we’re pretty sure the owner personally knows ¾ of the Spanish speaking population of Wrocław

Bars and Pubs

Nasyp

Nasyp (literally “the embankment”) is a small street that runs along an elevate rail road, with a bunch of small pubs and restaurants along it. It’s one of the best places in Wrocław to grab a beer, and many of the bars serve some sort of food as well.

Restauracja Česká

Not technically Polish, but this Czech gastropub has some of the best beer in Wrocław and traditional, hearty Czech food.

Concordia Building

Head to the top floor for a rooftop bar with views of the city.

Pub Pod Trzema Miotłami

Harry Potter themed bar with fun themed drinks.

Graciarnia Pizza Pub

“Graciarnia” means something like “collection of knickknacks” and the name is pretty descriptive. This cute pub/restaurant is tucked out of the way, but the outdoor patio in the back is a great place to eat or drink in the summer.
