Hello, my name is Martin, and welcome to my Guruwalk page! After completing my bachelor's degree at Wroclaw University, I decided to move here to start my professional career as a tour guide. I was raised in the United States, but my parents are Polish-Lithuanian. I speak English, Polish, Spanish, and French. I fell in love with Wroclaw and am proud to say that I taught myself all there is to know about this city. My interests are art, history, and teaching, and giving tours is something I love doing. I am almost certain that after we walk together, you will see Wroclaw, and the world a little different. My tour, the German Promenade, was tailored by me to show you in a quick two hours the highlights of Wroclaw outside of the city center. I found that Wroclaw has a problem, in which tourists miss out on some of the city's most important monuments by staying too strictly in the historic center. I aim to change that!

Tour description

Hello, my name is Martin, and I am looking forward to leading you on a walking tour through Wroclaw!                                                                         

The walking path was designed by me in order to show tourists the city's under appreciated Breslau-era monuments. By scrutinizing details, you will understand what the city looked like in the past. Together, we will see the lesser known, but equally beautiful German universities scattered throughout the city, as well as what I consider the most beautiful street and bridge in Wroclaw.                          

NOTE: Unlike other tours around Wroclaw, my tour omits the Rynek and Church Island areas. This is 1) because they are oversaturated with tourists, and 2) Wroclaw has more to offer than its market square! We will get "off the beaten path", and focus on the lesser explored parts of the city.                         

START: Plac Biskup Nankiera (Bishop Nankiera Plaza)

  • The Silesian Piast Mausoleum
  • Hala Targowa
  • "Bricklayer's" Bastion
  • City Moat
  • National Museum
  • Voivodeship Office
  • Grunwald Bridge
  • Polytechnic University
  • Norwida Street
  • Medical University
  • Zwierzyniecki Bridge
  • Zoo

END: Hala Stulecia (Centennial Hall)



The length of the walk is 3-3.5 km, and it will take 1.5 - 2 hours, depending on our walking speed.                         

Expect many surprises and secrets along the way!                         

I hope to see you soon.
