Military Museum & Archaelogical Museum




Military Museum & Archaelogical Museum
No matter you choose to visit either Military Museum or Archaeological Museum, you have to go to the same place. No matter you want to visit the Military Museum or not, you have to enter the two museums through the entrance under the Military Museum banner. Buying only 1 ticket provides you with the chance to visit two museums. Maybe to some museum-lovers this is a good deal, but not to those who cannot understand Polish for this case.

Poludniowy (South) Park


You can enter the Soutrh Park from many different entrances, but as you are inside, you find yourself surrounded by green. Big and paved paths guide you through the beauty of this park, which is coulourful and alive. It is a relatively small park, so after 10 minutes of walking you can reach the main space, which is consisted of one river and a big square with Frederic Chopin's statue. It is really amazing how alive this statue seems, as most of the statues you can see in Wroclaw.

Szczytnicki Park


As you walk into the Szczytnicki Park, you find yourself like in a fairytale. Wide roads guide you to the heart of the park, under the shadow of the treas. Wherever you turn your head, there is green. Sometimes grass, sometimes really high trees that hide the sun. The surprising thing about this park, and what makes it beautiful, is the variety in types of trees you can find there. It is really fun to explore the nature around you, breathe some clear air and relax reading a book in one of the many alleys of the park.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

WHO ARE WE?
Hello!I am Kelly from Greece and I would like to introduce you to my coleagues: Amanda from Brazil, Susan from Hong Kong, Vivian from China, Vladimir from Serbia and Oussama from Morocco. All of us are gathered in Wrocław, Poland, where we have an international internship as volunteers. We are working for the Social Education Center of Wroclaw, and we have the opportunity to be a team and make a blog about how we see Wroclaw from our perspectives. It is a really nice chance to stay in another country for two months, walking in the roads and taking pictures, and then writing about it and sharing your experiences with other people.

ARE YOU READY TO EXPLORE THE REAL WROCLAW?

As all of us were exploring the paths of Wroclaw, we have discovered some really interesting routes that are passing through the most important sites of Wroclaw. We really enjoyed walking them and we will post them here with the hope that you will too. Each route takes approximately one day for a person who visits Wroclaw to walk them. So get ready to put on your good shoes, and watch the most important sites of Wroclaw with our guidance!!!

Getting the Full Polish Experience

Everytime I travel, I find myself looking for what is good to eat, some local specialties. Well, the cuisine of every place is part of their culture, being usually related to a especial event and even having its own history. In Poland nothing changed. And while searching for what to eat in Wroclaw, I found a cuisine much based on potatoes, meat and vegetables (especially cabbage and mushrooms). To me, Polish food seams a classical example of homemade and comfy food, as it is not full of luxury, but well done and well seasoned (in general of course), which is of huge importance to please me.
