Old Town- Historic Center, Wroclaw

4.9
#1 of 10 in Historic Sites in Wroclaw
Historic Walking Area Tourist Spot
A small historical district, Old Town- Historic Center supports well-preserved medieval and Baroque facades, and the ground floors of many buildings host quaint cafes and shops. The square is dotted with small bronze statuaries and one central sculpture. Don't miss the brick structures that make up the town hall and church, easily recognizable for their distinctive architecture. Many visitors and locals use the square as a meeting place and city-wide events are often held here. Some later additions, such as the glass fountain, have modernized the district, but only slightly.

    lovely place for a stroll, and not only because you can sit in the first better Café for a drink or a snack. It is not very crowded by visitors, so you can safely enjoy its charm, one would thing PERSONAL, shoot and capture in any other manner unknown to us). You can see that places yet really needs renovation, but most already restored and was, as the old town, the Buildings around the well-kept and repainted-goes towards a better month by month:). This is something special as Poland, restaurants and bars opened, encourage to enter and sit down ... where there where someone PLAYING an INSTRUMENT, SHOWS TRICKS, MIME, or the band ... very clean, as if all the time someone walked in and cleaned up. Anyone who likes such climates you can recommend here. 10 on 10

    Very nice location with an ancient architecture. Friendly people, much of the younger population speaks English.
