Secrets and hidden gems of The Old Town

2 hours and 30 minutes

Description

Wrocław’s Old Town is much more than its famous Market Square, colourful townhouses and lively atmosphere. Just beyond the main tourist trails lies a maze of charming narrow streets, hidden monuments and fascinating stories that most visitors never get to hear. Join me on a journey through centuries of secrets, local legends and surprising historical facts, exploring streets and corners that reveal a different side of the city.

Where did one of the grandest residential palaces in Wrocław’s history once stand? Why are there two half-naked maidens on the church epitaph of an aristocrat? Where can you still find dancing nymphs? What kind of eccentrics could you have encountered at the Świdnicka Cellar, one of the longest-running restaurants in the world? And which church was supposedly lost in a card game?

You'll discover the answers to these questions, along with many other secrets of the Old Town, on this very walking tour. Come, let's dive into Wrocław with me. Are you ready for the adventure?

PLEASE NOTE: This tour doesn NOT cover The Cathedral Island. Please join my other walk "Wrocław Through Ages" (rated 4.99) to see it :)

Guiding since 2024

My name is Maciej, I'm 41 years old and I live in a magnificent and undiscovered pearl - Wrocław. I've been showing the city around for over 15 years now and I never get bored while doing it :) Every time I enter the Old Square my face smiles. And I want to show you why :) I'm a passionate traveler - 28 countries visited and counting (my favourite places are Rome and Malta). Also I'm an ancient Rome history enthusiast and a member of the ancient Roman legion reenactment group. In my free time I love to dance, read books and train kettlebells. I love to meet people from around the world so I'm looking forward to also meet you!
