The city of Wroclaw is making substantial investments in the renovation and improvement of its historic buildings and cobbled pathways and is continuing to do so. Unfortunately, as a result of this you will find many construction sites and scaffolded buildings all over the city. Of course the good news is that in a few years everything will be beautifully restored. Leave a Comment

The express shuttle bus from the Wroclaw airport to the Main Railway Sation costs according to www.airport.wroclaw.pl 2GBP. What's a shame!!!!!! It's connected with the Ryanair flight from London and operates once a day. The normal bus 406 costs 2 zl (0.35 GBP) and circulates to the Main Railway Station every 20-30 minutes too. It doesn't stop at every bus stop. Maybe it goes 10 minutes longer. Leave a Comment

The evidence that Wrocław is not yet a touristic city is provided by the little space pedestrians enjoy. Apart from the Rynek, closed to traffic, and from some pedestrian areas, cars dominate the daily life in Wrocław. There are few pedestrian traffic lights and, where there isn't one, car drivers certainly don't stop to let you cross the street. So, if you are a pedestrian, you will be in danger for most of the time you spend in this city. Bikes are a threat, as well, because you don't hear them and they can pass just few centimetres from you, scaring you quite a lot! Leave a Comment

Be careful of pick pockets! Makes sure to have your purse/wallet close to you at all times. Do not let go out of when you sit down in a restaurant/pub especially if its an ourdoor one. Don't carry too much cash around and have it in more then one spot on you (purse, pocket etc.). Also, watch your back when you come out of "Kantors" (money exchange points), many times they will be people waiting outside for you to ask for change. Leave a Comment

 permission to photograph by Mikebond It is generally forbidden to photograph or to film inside the building hosting the Panorama Racławicka. However, when you buy your ticket, you can also buy a permission to take photos (zezwolenie na fotografowanie) or to film (zezwolenie na filmowanie). The cashier will give you a cash voucher which you'll have to exhibit before entering the hall with the painting. Otherwise, you will be asked to leave your camera in the wardrobe. When you arrive at the hall, another person will give you a card like the one in the pic which you will put around your neck. Leave a Comment

 Rynek in the rain by Mikebond During our three-week stay in Polska, the forecast said almost every day it would rain in Wrocław. I don't know if this was always true, but I know that the second and last day we spent in Wrocław was the worst of our holidays. We went to the Rynek in the morning, but it was raining as much as it must have rained during the Flood. Although we had covered ourselves well, we couldn't stand in the rain because it was also very windy. Luckily enough, it didn't rain in the afternoon (but the sky was very cloudy anyway), so we could visit the square. As you may see in this photo, taken in the morning, the Rynek had turned into a lake. So, if you happen to be there in the rain, be cautious because you could slip, since the paving is very smooth.

 Even if it's royal service, don't say thank you by marishabandb Tipping is now common in restaurants and service has improved greatly over the last few years. 10-15% is an average estimate, if your service is good. BUT, and this is a warning, when you hand over your money to the waiter/waitress, DO NOT SAY THANK YOU. If you do, you are implying that they should keep the change, and they do. My son was stung like this when he gave a 100zł note for a 26zł bill. And the waitress was far too attractive for him to lose his cool by asking for the rest. So wait until your change arrives, then say thank you and leave your tip. Leave a Comment

Ask how much the ride would cost before you get into the taxi. Don't pay more than 40 zł (10 Euro) from the airport to the city centre. The price you should exactly pay is about 32 zl. (January 2007) Leave a Comment

 Much cheaper than in London or San Francisco by marishabandb If you decide to pay a trip to the pottery region, you could well run out of money, the items are so attractive. So make sure you have enough with you to avoid disappointment. See much more about Bolesławiec Pottery under 'Off the Beaten Track'. Leave a Comment

by richiecdisc Beware of rain drops on your camera lens as it makes for smeary images and in trying to avoid that, can interfere with photo composition. ;> This could have been a lovely shot of the Town Hall if the sun was shinning...lol. Leave a Comment
