I've been reading in newspapers that there has been a flood in Poland recently - how serious was this flood, and is the city of Wroclaw damaged by this, or is it safe to go there for vacation in July?
We've been in Wroclaw, it is a very nice, important and interesting city. However, it is on the river Oder and this and other rivers, like the Moldau in Czech Republic, are known for their floodings. The flood itself doesn't last long and usually can be predicted, but the consequences can be severe: one time we had to make a detour of several hours because the road was still in repair (a year later!). I would contact the Tourist Information for the details.
It will be fine in July.
Only few places in Wroclaw were affected by flood.
Those types of floods that are affecting Poland right now happen usually during the spring.
I stayed there last Tuesday to Wednesday.
My hotel was on an island in the middle of the Oder river; no problem.
The situation in July will depend on the amount of rain that will fall South of the area from now. So, keep an eye on the weather.
I have seen some damage to the river walls, but not that dangerous, that areas were closed.
Outside the city center there might be some local closures (there was a detour of road #8, but I think it is a scheduled construction).

Hi there,
The news abroad often exaggerate the real state of Poland. There is flood but most affected areas are villages and sometimes smaller cities. Wroclaw is fine. The only affected areas were the suburbs located far from the city centre. All areas which you would like to visit as a tourist were not flooded. Although it's raining now I don't think Wroclaw will be affected by that.
I personally think it's perfectly safe to visit Wroclaw in July. If you would like to make sure that it is safe for 100% just call the tourist centre or check Polish embassy website which should have proper information about the flood and affected areas in Poland. If you decide to come over...well, just enjoy :) Take care

Have a nice trip!!!!
Accompanied by a friend, we managed to see some rooms inside the University.
The University Quarter, as it is known, occupies the northern side of the Old Town.
It is between the riverfront & ul Uniwersytecka.
Have a visit here if you have the time to wander around Wroclaw because there are some nice churches in the vicinity of the University.
The photo shows a part of the celing in the University, so beautiful !
Poland is famous for a vodka-drinking tradition. Nevertheless, there are some popular Polish beers. One famous brewery is Zywiec which was founded in 1852 and nowadays owned by Heineken.
Another well known beer brand is Okocim; an old-established brewery (founded 1845), which is now owned by Carlsberg. Both Zywiec and Okocim lager contain more than 5 % alcohol.
Apart from these two beers, Piast seems to be a popular beer in Wroclaw. It used to be brewed locally in the Dolnoslaskie Piast Brewery which was closed down in 2004. Nowadays it belongs to Carlsberg Polska and is brewed in Brzesko and Szczecin.
People's Hall is the biggest building in Wroclaw, where meetings, congresses, gatherings and various concerts, fairs and sports events can be held. It was built in 1913 on the occasion of great historical exhibition commemorating the centenary of battle of nations near Leipzig and victory over Napoleon, hence its original name Jahrhunderthalle. It's possible to arrange here a football pitch or circus arena. There are about 7000 seats inside.
You go downstairs to this bar which has beer from its own brewery. The only problem with going downstairs to such a venue is the fact that you have to climb the steps after a few drinks. Make sure that your friend doesn't have too much to drink! There didn't seem to be any dress code in operation when I was there. As is ususal with most restaurants and bars in winter, there is a place to hang up all of your winter clothes.
