About

1/3

Called by some the “Venice of the North”, settled on Odra River, Wrocław is a city of more than 100 bridges and 21 islands. Take an evening stroll with us past amazingly illuminated architecture along the river banks. Walk through the most picturesque areas in the city center and witness the unique ritual of lighting vintage lamps, just as it was done in the old days.

Enjoy the enchanting atmosphere, relax and listen to stories and such of how nature can shape the fate of the city, learn about the biggest flood in modern history that happened just over two decades ago. Admire the bravery of the Wroclavians who had to stand up for the city and by accident have learned how to … love it for the first time since World War II. What story is hiding behind this statement?

Szymon was the best!

We loved our tour with Szymon. He was enthusiastic and generous with his knowledge. We found out things about the islands and nature of Wroclaw/Poland that we never would have known otherwise. He even managed to enable us to find the Lamplighter – so that was a highlight too!

Michal was a guide with a genuine passion for his work. Not only did we gain historical knowledge about Wroclaw, we gained a feel and a sense of the culture and identity of this beautiful town.
