Wroclaw resort

Wroclaw, which is actually pronounced Vrots-waf, is something of an undiscovered jewel of Central Europe. With a troubled history like many of the cities of Poland, it has now recovered wonderfully and offers the international visitor a fascinating array of architecture, scenic rivers and bridges, a great Rynek, or city square, and some wonderful churches. You’re advised to head there now before the inevitable surge of tourists and prices arrive. Flying to Wroclaw from England will take around 2 hours, 10 minutes.You’ll want to head to the city square, or Rynek, where the city draws its energies from. Here you’ll find yourself hemmed in by wonderfully photogenic buildings with the ornate architectural flourishes and sleepy feel of old Bohemian Europe; here you can dine out and drink the rich, deep Polish beers. You might also want to take a trip to the Wroclaw Japanese Garden, where you’ll find a rich variety of ornamental flora – perfect for a lazy summer afternoon. And there’s something you simply can’t miss on your holiday to Wroclaw—the islands of Ostrow Tumski on the Oder River, with the reflection of the great cathedral on the water, it’s a romantic’s paradise. If you want to eat Polish style, you’re advised to look up Pierozek, where you’ll be treated to traditional pierogi, borsch and pancakes, and feel like you’ve just walked into a chapter of Dostoyevsky, via Poland. There’s a good number of eateries in Wroclaw however, and you’ll want to explore.

For a uniquely entertaining evening, you should seek out Pracoffnia Bar, which is a pub located in the basement of a medieval prison, where you’ll still be able to sense some of its darkly atmospheric past, while you enjoy some Polish beverages and listen to jazz ensembles.
