"Wroclaw" Wroclaw by alancollins

Wroclaw Travel Guide: 803 reviews and 2,113 photos

This was my first trip to Wroclaw but it will not be my last. Like all places you visit for the first there is a certain amount of nervousness and apprehension. After a few days into your visit you wonder why you worried in the first place. With this visit I received a great deal of help from (magor65) Malgorzata and her husband Roman and I want to thank them both for all their help and assistance.

Good that you found lots to see and do, and also that you had the help of Malgorzata and her husband. And of course I'm glad to hear that there are some good cycling routes in Wroclaw.

Gnomes? What a great idea! Wish we had them in Warsaw, be it not for the vandals. The Market Square looks lovely. Beautiful pictures of the Botanical Gardens and very useful tips! Nice to see your page growing.
