Free tour Old Town Wrocław

We will start our Free tour Old Town Wrocław in the central Rynek, the Town Hall Square. Next to the municipal headquarters, in front of the facade of the Astronomical Clock, is the so-called Pillory, a very particular sculpture with a great story to tell…

Very close to the Pillory we will observe the characteristic coloured buildings of the historic centre of Wroclaw. While we reveal the cause of such intense hues, surely you have already noticed some funny (and tiny) characters that are distributed throughout the old town. It is about the famous goblins of Wroclaw. There are dozens of them scattered throughout the city; But do you know what its origin is?

We will continue our tour passing by other emblematic buildings of the city, such as the old palace of the Prussian kings or the prestigious University of Wrocław. Very close to this educational institution are the famous islands of Wroclaw. To access them, we will cross different bridges over the Odra River.

Our free tour will end on the island of Ostrów Tumski, in front of the imposing Baltic Gothic façade of the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist. At the end of this free tour of Wroclaw, from the cathedral, you can head towards the nearby Most Tumski: the Lovers’ Bridge. Perhaps it is the perfect time to make an important proposal to that special person who accompanies you…
