Wrocław’s dwarfs (Polish: krasnale, krasnoludki) are small figurines (20-30 cm) that first appeared in the streets of Wrocław, Poland, in 2005. Since then, their numbers have been continually growing, and today they are considered a tourist attraction.
The Old Town Hall (Polish: Stary Ratusz, German: Breslauer Rathaus) of Wrocław stands at the center of the city’s Market Square (rynek).[1] The Gothic town hall built from the 13th century is one of the main landmarks of the city. The Old Town Hall's long history reflects developments that have taken place in the city since its initial construction. The town hall serves the city of Wroclaw and is used for civic and cultural events such as concerts held in its Great Hall. In addition, it houses a museum and a basement restaurant.
The University of Wrocław (UWr; Polish: Uniwersytet Wrocławski; German: Universität Breslau; Latin: Universitas Wratislaviensis) is a public research university located in Wrocław, Poland. The University of Wrocław was founded in 1945, replacing the previous German University of Breslau. Following the territorial changes of Poland's borders, academics primarily from the Jan Kazimierz University of Lwów (now Lviv, Ukraine) restored the university building heavily damaged and split as a result of the Battle of Breslau (1945). Nowadays it is one of the most prominent educational institutions in the region
The Market Square, Wrocław (Polish: Rynek we Wrocławiu, German: Großer Ring zu Breslau) is a medieval market square in Wrocław, now the heart of a pedestrian zone. The square is rectangular with the dimensions 213 by 178 metres (699 ft × 584 ft). It is one of the largest markets in Europe, with the largest two city halls in Poland.
The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Wrocław, (Polish: Archikatedra św. Jana Chrzciciela, German: Breslauer Dom, Kathedrale St. Johannes des Täufers), is the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Wrocław and a landmark of the city of Wrocław in Poland. The cathedral, located in the Ostrów Tumski district, is a Gothic church with Neo-Gothic additions. The current standing cathedral is the fourth church to have been built on the site.
The Centennial Hall (Polish: Hala Stulecia; German: Jahrhunderthalle), formerly named Hala Ludowa ("People's Hall"), is a historic building in Wrocław, Poland. It was constructed according to the plans of architect Max Berg in 1911–1913, when the city was part of the German Empire. Max Berg designed Centennial Hall to serve as a multifunctional structure to host "exhibitions, concerts, theatrical and opera performances, and sporting events."

So informative and presented so that we could tie it into not only Wroclaw’s but also Poland’s history. Our guide answered all our questions. I would suggest that the guide wear something to distinguish him at the meeting point.
Our guide Paweł was super knowledgeable, spoke great English, and gave a clear, engaging history of the city. Fun, informative, and a great way to explore Wrocław! Highly recommend.
Our guide Hubert was a walking encyclopaedia of knowledge re the city. Great experience. Highly recommended
The easiness to travel on a bike, the courtesy and civism of Polish people. My tour guide was great too! Of course the places we visited in general… beautiful city.
Our guide Pavel was very knowledgeable and told us so much more about the city than we would have learned on our own. He didn’t seem to mind us asking questions and his answers were always good.The bikes were comfy and the cycling easy. I would recommend this way of seeing Wroclaw to everyone and also particularly during COVID times. Thanks Pavel!
Highly recommendable! Always a most enjoyable way to explore a city on a bike, especially when the city is as flat as Wroclaw. So no excuse whatsoever for going on segway or e-scooter😉. Our guide Pawel was most knowledgable, friendly and professional, go for it!
A great guide, nice cyclist. Everything works wonderfully! The 25 euros are well spent.
We decided to do the bike ride since we were on Wroclaw for work. This was a good way to get to see the city and learn more about it. The bike tour takes you around the best attractions of Wroclaw in under 2 hours. It is an easy bike ride and very enjoyable. The tour guide spoke perfect English and gave us just enough overall information. Would highly recommend it.
