Explore historic streets

Wroclaw, once known as Breslau, is such an attractive city that various powers have squabbled over its ownership over the centuries. That explains the mixed architecture, which includes Bohemian, Austrian and Prussian styles alongside ornate traditional Polish edifices.

The centre of Wroclaw is charming to explore on foot. The hub is the magnificent Market Square (Rynek), while the Odra River offers numerous pretty islands, scenic bridges and parks. The Gothic splendour of Cathedral Island an obvious highlight.

Poland is not part of the Eurozone, so British visitors will find that the exchange rate is still very favourable, compared with destinations in Western Europe.

Happy guests

Here are some of the positive reviews that have earned Scandic Wroclaw hotel a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence:

‘An excellent hotel. Staff very welcoming and extremely helpful. Rooms clean and tidy — ask for top floor and to the rear to avoid tram noise. Breakfast menu suitable for all culinary tastes and wholesome. A wonderful city to visit.’

‘The hotel doesn’t look impressive from the outside but the rooms are simple with everything you need for a short stay. The service is good and the breakfast is great, huge selection. The location is ideal, only a short walk to the centre and there’s loads of good restaurants and bars under the railway arches 5 minutes away.’

‘Fabulous breakfast buffet! Friendly and well informed staff upon check-in, good clean and bright rooms. Fabulous breakfast buffet with HUGE choice: from fresh veggie salad, to potato pancakes to any options for frugal eaters. WELL DONE!! Only downside to mention is the slight noise (despite the very good windows) from the tram…’

Go somewhere new

A trip to Wroclaw offers an experience that is off the familiar beaten track of most European destinations. It is also a chance to discover one of Eastern Europe’s most distinctive and romantic cities.
