Old Town Wroclaw by Martin!

Are you searching for a mix of Wroclaw's hidden gems as well as the basics on your trip to Wroclaw? Do you have questions like why are there so many churches? Gnomes? I have got you covered. Together we will find out all we need to know about Wroclaw.

We meet on the Salt Square, where steps away we will find the palatial home of Wroclaw's richest patrician. Then, we will enter the main Wroclaw market square, where we can get to know some of the city's icons, as well as some context about Wroclaw. Afterwards, marvel at the Gebrudder Brother's "Cathedral of Commerce", and learn the story behind the Mary Magdalene church's 12th century Olbin portal. We pass through the various stalls of the market square, before entering the cemetary of St. Elizabeth through the "Hansel and Gretel" gate. Then, the butcher shop, prison, and university. Visit the Mausoleum of the founding royal family and witness the ingenuity of the 1908 covered market. 

We end our walk in the Vatican City of Wroclaw, the Cathedral Island.

This tour was designed by me, to complement my other tour, the German Promenade, which highlights the 1741-1945 German period and takes you away from the Old Town. That route is crowned by the UNESCO 1913 German National Exhibition Grounds, the only such designation in Wroclaw. Both tours together define the city's identity and unify all the various periods of Wroclaw's history. 

I hope to meet you on my tour!
