Wroclaw Old Town Guided Walking Tour

Your tour starts in the Market Square (Rynek) where you will see the unique late gothic City Hall. You'll continue along to the historic Salt Square, which today hosts a lovely flower market

This pair of storybook tenements are known locally as 'Jaś i Małgosia,' or commonly 'Hansel & Gretel' for foreigners, apparently because the connecting archway is symbolic of a couple holding hands. Built in the 16th and 18th century respectively, they are all that remain of the line of townhouses that once circled the cemetery of St. Elizabeth’s.

Then strolling through the medieval streets you will head for the university campus. The main building on the campus is a striking example of baroque architecture from the Hapsburg times.

Next, you'll have some time to wander in a local Market Hall, where can admire the colorful stands offering fresh fruits and vegetables for sale.

our tour concludes in the oldest part of Wroclaw, Ostrow Tumski. This location has a unique religious atmosphere with its many churches, convents, other Catholic institutions. Here you'll visit the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, the final stop on your tour. You'll learn about the beginnings of Christianity in Poland and also about the severe damage the cathedral suffered during World War II.
