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
