Wroclaw – My Favorite City in Poland, Wroclaw, Poland

It doesn’t come as a surprise as cultural life thrives in Wroclaw, with many theatres, museums and an opera. The title gave Wroclaw an opportunity to host various cultural events, which brought the city the much deserved attention. Wroclaw is also a vibrant student city, as it’s home to one of the best and biggest universities in the country : Uniwersytet Wroclawski. 

A very characteristic thing about Poland is, that most cities have Rynek ( Market Square), that is always the heart of the city. Rynek in Wroclaw is one of the largest in Europe.
