Passing the old “Wertheim” department store is a neat glimpse into Wroclaw’s commercial history. From there, the tour moves towards the Jewish quarter, with its unique blend of history and modern culture.

Next, you’ll cruise around the market square, the bustling heart of Wroclaw, where the lively streets and colorful facades give you a true feel for local life. Then, you’ll head to Ostrów Tumski, the city’s oldest part, with its cobblestone streets and historic churches.

One highlight is the stop at Centennial Hall, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Here, you’ll get off for a brief walk and see this architectural marvel, famous for its impressive water show during spring and summer. The guide will also point out the Pergola and the Wroclaw Fountain, perfect spots for photos and short strolls.

The Centennial Hall & Water Show

If you’re visiting in the warmer months, catching the fountain show in front of Centennial Hall adds a touch of magic. The water dance synchronized with music is a popular feature, and the tour allows enough time to appreciate this spectacle.
