From the dawn of its history, Wrocław has been at the intersection of two of Europe's oldest trade routes. The Amber Road led from the Baltic Sea to the south of Europe, to the Adriatic Sea, while the Salt Road run along the east-west axis. The city's attractive geographical location meant that throughout its long history, new nations and their rulers have continually tried to take Wrocław for their own.

Poles, Czechs, Germans, Jews, and Catholics, Protestants, Orthodox Christians... All of them have left their indelible mark on the city. See places and buildings that show the cultural melting pot of Wrocław.

The youngest tourists and fans of Wrocław cannot miss a meeting with the Wrocław dwarves. Equipped with maps and search equipment, they usually set off through the city streets and squares, eagerly searching for all the dwarves living in Wrocław. Finding all the dwarves can be confirmed with a stamp at the Tourist Information Office. For the youngest, this is a great opportunity not only to get to know the dwarves themselves, but also the city.
