About this activity

Discover Wrocław's architectural treasures and island-laced charm on this 11-hour guided day trip from Poznań. Explore Gothic masterpieces, baroque palaces, and the spiritual heart of Poland's oldest Christian settlement with an English-speaking local guide who brings centuries of history to life.

Situated at the foot of the Sudeten Mountains, upon the Odra River and cut through by its numerous tributaries and canals, it is an exceptional city of 12 islands and 112 bridges. During this walking tour, we will explore the most important and noteworthy monuments of the city. You can walk in a relaxed and easy way with your friendly and knowledgable local guide in English, who is going to tell you the most important, interesting and intriguing stories.

Our tour starts in Market Square (Rynek) where you will be amazed by the unique beauty of the late gothic City Hall. We also discover the charm of Salt Square, today a lovely flower market. 

Strolling through the medieval streets we will come across the university campus, where the main building is a striking example of beautiful baroque architecture from the Hapsburg times. 

We will have time to take a short break in a local Market Hall, where you will have some time to admire the colorful stands offering fresh fruits and vegetables. 

The tour concludes in the oldest part of Wroclaw, Ostrow Tumski. This location has a unique religious atmosphere since it is packed with churches, convents, and catholic institutions.  Located here is the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist. You will find out about the beginnings of Christianity in Poland but also the history of its severe destruction during the second world war.

After the tour, take some time to enjoy what the city has to offer – tasty food and delicious beer taking the road back to Poznań in the late afternoon.
