Yup its a class city. I can recommend the chopper hostel which is just off the old square...has a bar next to it as well.
Lovely city to visit for a day or two. |

I have, flew home from there after the Euros, very nice city, if a little quiet in midweek. University city too if I remember rightly, so midweek will probably be livlier in October than when we were there in June. Square something along the lines of Poznan, probably more ornate & a little bit more upmarket too. Decent pubs/restaurants in the square and in the streets just off the square. Stuff to see, didn't do an awful lot in that regard, went on one of those short golf buggy type tours around the city centre, tis all pleasant enough without being anything too exciting. There is a giant chair on a roundabout there somewhere (very Australian concept , that) which is nearly as silly as anything the Ozzies have ever managed (and they have quite a few of these 'giant' objects knocking about in Australia, usually off motorways), and Tumski bridge, one of these bridges that you & yer Mrs can put a lock on to signify how tight you are, or at least I think that is what it signifies. There is an old Cathedral (St Johns I think) which is fairly impressive if yer into the oul architecture, or indeed praying, or even both, and that is about it for my travel tips on Wroclaw. Tis pronounced something like ''Ross woff'' by the locals, ie nothing like what it looks like to us when it is written down. |

Wikitravel says (Wiki is NEVER wrong)- pronounced Vrots-swaf, I was close enough. Muff will probably drink so much he will think he is in Poznan anyway & it will make little difference.

Good stuff Coleman though it was a mosque I had in mind rather than pubs It looks like a fairly chilled out/studenty kind of spot with a nice old town. Was in Krakow,Warsaw,Gdansk before but not there so will be nice to see.

Nah that was never an issue between myself and my right hand bride. Would be a big history buff and love any kind of impressive architecture. The only problem I find is on these lads away trips is you end up not seeing half the stuff you want to as you're either boozing or hanging from the night before. |

I was in Krakow 2 years ago, class spot, def worth a visit if you get the chance
Lovely big square in the middle of the old town, full of restaurants and shops. You'll see motorised carts (like golf carts) going round town, jump on one of these for tours round town (the guides who drive them are very good and very knowledgeable). It's also worth taking excursions out of town to the Salt Mines as well as Auschwitz, there'll be tour operators round the town offering discounts for booking both tours, and believe me, both are well worth visiting (if you have the time). If you only have time for one of the 2 tours, I'd recommend Auschwitz, even though you'll no doubt find it quite moving as the tour guide explains in depth the horrors that went on there during the war. It includes the chronic conditions the inmates had to live in, how the new arrivals were selected for the labour camps and the gas chambers, 'that' railway platform and of course the gas chambers themselves. Grim stuff but a tour that everyone really should do if they're in the area, if it doesn't give you a perspective on life I don't know what will. On a brighter note, if you choose the Salt Mines, you won't be disappointed, in fact you'll often find yourself wondering 'how the hell did they do that!?' as you make your way through, especially the church.
