2. Railroad Embankment at Bogusławskiego Street

#londonstyle

Are you looking for a scenery with a uniquely enigmatic climate? You will surely love this place. Sometimes it is called "The Wrocław Bronx". Here, you will find some pubs with good beers and beer gardens reaching out to the most mysterious parts of Wrocław.

Flyover has the length of 620 m and its tracks are placed about 5 m aboveground. If you’re a fan of such climates, it is worth taking a couple of minutes for a walk from the Market Square towards Bogusławskiego Street. Embankment, crossing the midtown, will take you along with the climate of your photos to the scenes from American and English movies.



3. OVO

Attention, fans of photographing, minimalism and innovation! We present you OVO Wrocław – building located within the borders of the Old Town, whose uniqueness will surely steel your hearts. Surface of the object covers almost 49 thousands square metres. Inside the complex a five-star hotel DoubleTree by Hilton may be found, as well as some luxury apartments, penthouses, offices, restaurants and many more. OVO is an architectural landmark of our city where life flows with its own rhythm.

Taking photographs in the building interiors may be quite a shock for your wallets… Don’t worry too much about it, though, since elevation of OVO Wrocław is an absolute work of art – unusual shapes can be used, for example, to capture an abstract frame.



4. Dunikowski’s Boulevard

#viewoncity

If you would like to take several photographs of the most important points on the map of Wrocław without moving away from one place, take a walk through Dunikowski’s Boulevard – one of the most recently renovated spots in the city.

During a day you will get some rest on the stairs situated directly by the Oder River, while in the evening you will be able to take a walk in the light of street lamps and the stars. Surrounded by a unique atmosphere you will photograph from here the Peace Bridge, Cathedral, Archdiocesan Library, Grunwaldzki Campus, Piaskowy Bridge and Ostrów Tumski (Cathedral Island). This is a place created for a camera lens and its owners, looking for a place to take a moment and relax.



5.. Sky Tower Viewpoint

#birdseyeview

Although we consider staying away from shopping centres a good idea while travelling, we do treat the viewpoint at Sky Tower as an exception to this rule. However, don’t set off on a stroll around the shops because the real singularity of the city may in fact be explored as high as on the 49th floor of the mall. You will reach this spot with the lift in just a minute. It is the highest viewpoint in Poland and a paradise for the lovers of breath-taking views. We recommend taking this ride particularly early in the morning and at sunset. Glazed area will allow you to capture chosen part of the city at its best.

You may purchase the tickets at the Ticket Office on +1 floor on the premises of the shopping centre.


6.Overlooking the Oder

#cityofhundredbridges

Wroclaw is oftentimes called "the city of hundred bridges" – and it’s no wonder, since it prides itself in having the greatest number of them throughout Poland! However, you should know that if we add up bridges by the rivers with footbridges in parks and numerous railway bridges, their number may raise even up to 300! Impressive, isn’t it?

Our bridges hide many mysteries. The Tumski Bridge, adorned with hundreds of love padlocks, has seen more than one rising feeling. The Grunwald Bridge was witness of many important historical events during the war, barely surviving some of them. Similar memories are carried along by the Zwierzyniecki Bridge, which is located nearby ZOO. The list is really long so you’re welcome to take a pick! You can be sure that regardless of the weather conditions, photos made in these places will present themselves impeccably.


7.Centennial Hall

#pergola

Centennial Hall with pergola beside it and a scenic Szczytnicki Park are most often chosen sceneries for wedding and pregnancy photo sessions. It’s not without reason that owners of dicky bows, white veils and round bellies decide on this very place. Measuring 640 m pergola consists of 750 columns interconnected with treillages decorated with rich vines. Thanks to such greenery, surrounding you almost from everywhere, the photos will gain a unique, almost fairy-tale-like character.

Would you like some more? The building surrounds the Wrocław Multimedia Fountain - its water shows are a combination of music, lighting and multimedia animations. This star, shining with an abundance of colours, will pose to your photo during a day and after dark.
