Wroclaw is the capital of Lower Silesia and one of the oldest and most beautiful cities in Europe. It is situated at the foot of the Sudety mountains, on the River Odra, and thanks to its numerous tributaries and canals is called “the city of twelve islands and a hundred and twelve bridges” or “Polish Venice”. The city walls bear witness to its rich and stormy history and the old and modern architecture is blended well into the lush greenery. All visitors to Wroclaw will certainly remember it also as a lively cultural centre.
