Curious things about Wrocław

Hunting for Krasnale

Wroclaw may possibly be one of Poland’s most charming and picturesque cities. Nestled both alongside and within the Oder, its centre contains 12 islands connected by 130 bridges. A rainbow of pastel coloured buildings surrounds one of Europe’s largest medieval squares, towering gothic spires rise skywards, and each night a lamplighter sporting a dapper cape and top hat combo traipses the cobblestones to ignite the city’s street lights. If this isn’t enough fairytale imagery for you, then Wroclaw has something else up its sleeve; Dwarves.

The Best Places to Eat, Drink & Brunch in Wroclaw

If you’re anything like I was, the words ‘Polish Cuisine’ don’t really fill you with excitement.

Exploring Wroclaw’s Beautiful Christmas Market

The well-wrapped crowds move together under the flickering pinpricks of a thousand glowing fairy lights. A chorus of carols blends perfectly with a rattling of sleigh bells and the excited chatter. I huddle beneath a faux wood cabin, clutching my steaming wine to my chest with both hands, taking in the bouquet of sweet aromas emanating from the vendors flogging festive treats. Wroclaw, it seems, knows how to put on a Christmas market.
