  • Island with old churches and cathedral. Old architecture and boat rides on the river from here. Market in the week too.
  • A fantastic place to visit , great architecture, wonderful churches that must a visit. Climb up in the Gothic Church for a wonderful panoramic view of the island and of the Old City. A couple of steps and an elevator will take you up. A must seen if you are in Wrocław. By the way it’s an easy 10 min. walk from the Old Town of Wrocław
