Old Town Promenade Walk

May must be the most beautiful month in Wroclaw. It is so green and beautiful and full of life. I decided to take a stroll in the Old Town Promenade, 6 hours and 10km later I was re-energized and fascinated. Of course I stop a lot to take it all in, take photos and sit and have a cold one and watch people go by.

My starting point

The moat around the Old City






National Museum

Ostrow Tumski


Love Locks


Wroclaw has an interesting story with these Krasnale (Dwarfs).  There are 349 different ones all over the city honouring different occasions, trades etc.  You can get a map in any of the tourists spots and see how many you can find. Sometimes they are really obvious and sometimes they are tricky to find. You can find more info on these charming creatures here:  Krasnale.pl

wrocLOVE

When I was young I used to come to Poland every summer or every other summer. When I started working on ships it got increasingly harder to do so with limited time off. Now as an adult I have been coming here for the last three years. I absolutely love how this city has grown and changed. Wroclaw is a perfect marriage of old and new. It still has all this history but it's cosmopolitan at the same time. New restaurants, bars with previously unknown cuisines are popping up in old, restored buildings. I hear new languages and see new nationalities choosing Wroclaw as a home, I love it.  Being here gives me so much peace and fuels my curiosity.  I spend hours just wondering the city and absorbing all her glory and taking photos of the old buildings and cobblestone streets.

I wanted to share some of these photos with you....

Wroclaw, Poland

Ahhhhh....this is the sigh of relief and relaxation that escapes my lips when I land in my birth town of Wroclaw, Poland.

I pinched this beautiful video from the Insta of PolskaZachwyca. I just had to share it with all of y'all.

Some of my photos to come soon.
