[Poland Series] Wrocław 弗罗茨瓦夫 | The Dwarf City

by - February 03, 2016



Why do I say so?  This is because there is more 100++ dwarf statue hide in the city. I’m feeling excited to find out the hidden dwarf statue when I’m in the town.

My first impression of this city is I have a difficulty in reading the “Wrocław” name. I think most of the tourist will have the same problem like me except the native polish people. If you want to know to say, you may search from Wikipedia. Haha :D This city is quite similar with Poznan, another city in Poland. When I’m at their Old Town, I feel like the same and easily get confused.

I have a short trip in Wrocław where I only stay there for 1 night. So, I just visit a few place. And, I think that Wrocław is not that big, thus, I just suggest you visit there for 3days2night or 4days3nights.

---Journey starts---

1. Old Town Area
---Old Market Square
     >> Hala Targowa
             ** easily be found as the market hall is located right in front of the tram
                  stop
              ** There are vast array of stalls that selling fruits, vegetables and
                 flowers on the ground floor whereas the second floor is selling clothes
                 and handicraft.
                    >>> Town Hall, Museum of Burgher Art
                           **known as Muzeum Sztuki Mieszczańskiej
                           ** the structure seem like patched bits and pieces of different
                                buildings
                           **Stands at the centre city’s of market square
                           **one of landmark of Wrocław
                           ** I like the outer design of the hall, it looks spectacular
Take a break first ~  
2.Bridges
--- Piaskowy (Sand) Bridge
     >>> the oldest preserved water crossing of Wrocław
     >>> The red colour of the bridge make me think of Golden Gate bridge
---Tumski Bridge
    >>>Aka lover bridge /Cathedral Bridge/Green Bridge
>>> full of padlocks but where is Key ??!! Answer is they will throw key into the Odra River
>>> but not as famous like the lock bridge at Paris

**Another 2  bridges worth to visit (I have no time to visit)
1.Zwierzyniecki Bridge >>> Previously is a wooden bridge built in1655
Location: Located near the Centennial Hall, the Japanese garden, and the biggest zoo in Poland
2.Rędziński Bridge>>> 70 000m2 of concrete
                                 >>>longest reinforced concrete suspension bridge
  >>> the longest bridge to be suspended on only                                                   one pylon 
                                 >>>bridge with the longest reinforced concrete span

3. Cathedral of St. John the Baptist
---I do like the design of this amazing architecture
---Stunning view of the 2 tower that rises to the sky
---I do not have ample of time to get up the top of the tower
**Do visit the cathedral for superb night view as the light highlighted more  
its structure
   Entrance Fee: Adult – 5 zł, children/concessions – 4 zł
Visiting Period: Visiting is possible before and after Masses.
                             [Weekdays : 9.45am-5.30pm,Sunday: 2.00pm-4.00pm]

4. Sky tower
---sky tower observation deck
   >> The tallest building in the city that build when 2007
   >> up to 49th floor
   >> Ticket can be purchase at the shopping mall (the merchandise shop of
                  the sky tower)
   >> Ticket Fee: 15 zloty
   >> Location: Entrance to the observation deck located on the outside of 
                   the shopping mall
   >> I had enjoyed the amazing panoramic view of the city, it’s awesome!!

5. Galerie Stare Jatki(Old Butcher's Shop)
--I have missed up this awesome place!!
--When I find out that place, all the shop there had closed..T_T
--You may found the cheapest souvenir at this gallery, so mark this point if you would like to buy souvenir
--This place actually easily be seen as you may found out 2 cutie pig statue at the entrance there.

Let's go shopping !! :D
