Itinerary
Wroclaw Market Square - The most beautiful market square in Poland! It's a miracle that it survived the war and the bombing. How did that happen? See the beautiful Gothic town hall and historic tenement houses. Look what's changed... until 1945 there was a gas station in the market square!
The Old Town Hall - Only one bomb hit the Old Town Hall and did not explode. That's why the town hall looks the same as it did 300 years ago... Take a look inside the city's oldest restaurant and see how the interior has changed.
St. Elisabeth Church - This church was unlucky - it survived the Second World War, but burned down in 1974. Today, however, it has been beautifully restored - and especially the interior and the most beautiful organ in Silesia! Engler organs.
Wroclaw University - the baroque pearl of Wroclaw! Learn the history of this place and see how the area has changed over the last 100 years!
Now we go towards Cathedral Island, the city starts to change... it's a different city after 1945. You can see it in old photos. A lot has changed. See for yourself... Cathedral Island was the most heavily bombed part of the city. But like a phoenix rising from the ashes, this district was reborn...
The cathedral - this beautiful building almost disappeared. But beautifully renovated, it is now the pride of Cetedral Island. Listen to the most beautiful stories about this place. See what happened here during the war.
