Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Because of its history Wroclaw has more than its fair share or cobbled streets and paths. At the present time there are a number of areas around the old town that are being reconstructed. I saw one women in high heels shoes who came to a abupt halt as she was crossing the road. She just managed to extract her shoe from the cobbled stones before the traffic started up again. Another problem is various road works, around the city centre that seem to have few workmen and are progressing at a snails pace. Various obstacles have to be negotiated to get around the roadworks.

If you forget you can buy it in any book store.
