Wroclaw Nightlife Tips by Toja

still Ostrow Tumski: a little further..

Walking across the Tumski bridge we enter the site which was the original Slaw settlement. Now there is the Episcopal quarter with 5 medieval churches. Walking towards the cathedral we go past the church in the picture. This is actually not one but 2 churches in one building - one on the top of the other ? St. Cross and St. Bartholomew. Both are spacious and the lower - St. Bartholomew - too large to be regarded only as a crypt. The building was founded in 1288 by the Duke Henryk the Righteous. In the square, next to the church stands a Baroque monument of St. Jan Nepomuk.

Dress Code: of course not a beach costume...

Address: Ostrow Tumski

Directions: along the main walk.. you can't miss it.

the ancient place: the other side

Some people believe, this little hexagonal church on the right (St. Mark) is located in the ancient spot which is a special energetic place.. called czakram. However, I found information that such a place is in fact in Poland (there are 7 in the whole world according to some Hidu believe) but not in Wroclaw. The real czakram should be looked for in the ancient castle - Wawel in Krakow - the former Polish capital city.
In the centre - St. Cross and St. Bartholomew
on the left, behind the fence - the botanical gardens

Dress Code: St. Marc is very rarely opened.. but.. no extra outfit required the one for the cathedral will do
:-)

Address: you know that..

Directions: see above

the cathedral: the main point...

And then.. passing by the Archbishop’s palace we come in front of the XIII century cathedral. Actually.. the cathedral was so much destroyed during the last war.. that it’s really hard to say which century it should belong to… However, rebuilt as well as it was only possible is quite an interesting mixture of styles.The interior impresses with it’s monumental magnificence..

Dress Code: Just for a walk around I'd recommend good shoes first of all. High heels could be a bit of problem on the cobble stone streets. To enter the sacral buildings.. probably the same as elsewhere - clothes which won't hurt anybody's religious feelings..

Address: well.. you should already know that :-)

a night walk in the city..: well.. at night one may also have a walk...

A nice cool and lonely walk at night.. I consider a pleasure.. in Wroclaw
Especially this place - Ostrow Tumski is charming.. There is the cathedral and some other churches.. and this place is believed to be the most ancient spot of the town.. before the city was founded and before the Christians took over.. it was an ancient occult place called.. - czachram.. in Polish.. and in English.. :-) I'll let you know once I've learnt.. what's called in English.

Dress Code: anything you wish :-)
