Offered in: German and 6 more

Explore the best of Wrocław — the city of bridges, dwarfs, and stories — on this self-guided walking tour that brings its legends and landmarks to life. Start near the Old Town Square surrounded by Gothic façades and meet the bronze dwarfs that turned protest into art. Stop by the most famous spots like the Old Town hall, Hansel and Gretel buildings, the University where Nobel Prize minds once studied, and end your walk amid the calm of Cathedral Island which still preserves its old traditions. Along the way you’ll hear legends of witches, a dumpling turned to stone and a bear who became a war hero. This tour offers the perfect mix of history, folk tales, and discovery — all of which you can explore at your own pace. It is perfect for first time visitors to the city who want to cover the essentials of the old town and cathedral island.
