Explore the city of bridges
Wroclaw is called “the city of bridges” and that’s a pretty good description as there are 117 bridges and footbridges. It is hard to sightsee them all 😉 but if you follow them you can explore some very nice and interesting places. You might try to count them or just to go across them all but the legend says no-one has ever succeeded in that. That does mean that you might have the chance to be the first one!
