And walking was what I did most often during my
visit. Although I spent a

week in the city, I don’t feel as though I scratched
the surface of Wrocław’s history; I still don’t know why there are so many
churches in such a small area. In this blog you’ll see several of the sites I
visited that were around the main square. Wandering around the square is a good
way to spend time; the map makes it look as though everything is very far away
and Google maps gives walking times that are only accurate if you are dragging
your feet. The old town is mostly traffic free and the cars do have to yield to
you IF you are in a crosswalk. People are friendly and will try to help you find
your way; once you’ve found a particular landmark, it’s an easy city to
navigate. Many of tourist areas are closed at odd times. For instance, the Hala
Targowa (Market Hall) is closed on Wednesdays while some museums are closed
Mondays; and somethings are supposed to be open at specific times aren’t, and
vice versa. If you want to do something and it’s available to do right then, do
it! Also, don’t be afraid to open what looks like a closed door to a site; it
may just be shut rather than closed.
