Wrocław University & Aula Leopoldina Tour | Audio Guide
Overview
Discover one of the top attractions and must-see places in Wrocław with a visit to the historic University of Wrocław. This experience takes you inside one of the city’s most remarkable landmarks, home to the spectacular Aula Leopoldina — considered one of the finest Baroque interiors in Central Europe.
Your visit begins at the iconic Fencer Fountain in the heart of the university complex, where a coordinator will welcome you and provide your audio guide. During the tour, you will explore the magnificent Aula Leopoldina and the elegant Oratorium Marianum while learning about the fascinating history of the university, its Austrian origins, and its importance during the Counter-Reformation.
You will also walk through the richly decorated Imperial Staircase, surrounded by impressive sculptures, stucco decorations, and stunning ceiling frescoes that reflect the historical grandeur of the university.
Throughout the experience, discover the university’s Prussian and German heritage, its long academic traditions, and the famous figures connected to it, including Nobel Prize winners and the renowned composer Johannes Brahms, who once performed within these historic walls.
The tour concludes at the Mathematical Tower, one of the best viewpoints in Wrocław, offering panoramic views over the city skyline and the Oder River. Here you can freely explore the tower while discovering more about the city’s dramatic history, including World War II, postwar border changes, and the rebirth of the institution as the modern Polish University of Wrocław.
