Discover the most interesting places - museums, parks, monuments and viewpoints
The map shows over 2,400 attractions across Wrocław and the whole of Lower Silesia as points on a single board. It is the fastest way to answer the question “what is near me” or “what can I see on the way”. The attraction list lets you browse objects by theme, while the map shows them in space, so the two views work best as a pair rather than as substitutes.
There are no ratings or rankings on the map. Every point is an object with a page that holds a description, an address and practical information. What you pick is up to you: a monument, a trail, a museum or a playground.
A good way of working looks like this:
When many points lie close together, zooming in splits them into single objects. Wrocław has many clusters, especially around the Old Town and Ostrów Tumski, so the category filter helps when you plan a walk.
Attractions are split into categories. One object can belong to several of them, so the numbers from individual categories add up to more than the number of objects.
This is the largest thematic group. There are over 400 historic sites, over 200 churches and monasteries and over 150 cemeteries and monuments. The map shows how densely Wrocław, Legnica or Wałbrzych and smaller towns with castles and palaces are dotted with monuments.
The Mountains category has over 430 objects, the most on the whole map. It is joined by parks and nature (over 180) and viewpoints (over 40). It is worth using them together, because a viewpoint often sits on a trail.
There are over 180 museums, and the Culture category counts over 120. Theatre and opera is a dozen or so venues, mostly in Wrocław.
Attractions for children number over 160, entertainment over 150 and sport and recreation over 120. Added to these are water parks and pools (over 25) and lakes and bathing areas (over 25), which are especially useful when planning a trip out of town.
The places with character category has over 180 points. These are the less obvious addresses that are hard to file as a museum or a monument, yet often add the most to a route. There is also a murals category, small for now.
Wrocław is good to explore on foot, because many attractions lie close together. On the map choose two or three categories, for example historic sites and museums, and zoom into the Old Town. Set the order from the point farthest away to the nearest one where you end the day.
Bridges and islands make it easy to walk a loop: cross by one bridge and return by another. If you are interested in the character of the city, read the texts in the Explore Wrocław section first, and plan a lunch break from the list of bars and eateries along the way.
The map does not know the weather, but you do. For a rainy day filter museums, theatres and indoor attractions for children. For a sunny day pick parks, lakes and viewpoints. Outside the bathing season the lakes category is useful for walks rather than swimming, so read the description of the place to understand its character.
It also helps to have a backup plan: one outdoor point and one indoor point close to each other. On the map this is easy to check, because both will sit in the same area.
Lower Silesia is varied and distances between points can be large. The region has three big areas that are worth treating as separate full-day goals:
Pick one area per day and do not try to combine them all. Always check that you can get there and back in a single day, counting time for sightseeing and not only for the drive. In the mountains leave a margin for changing weather.
Over 2,400 objects from Wrocław and the whole of Lower Silesia. The number changes, because the database is continuously extended.
Use the category filter on the map and tick one or several categories. The other points disappear from the view.
An object card with its name, category and a short description. From it you go to the full attraction page with an address and practical information.
Yes. You can zoom the map with your fingers, and the category filters work the same as on a computer.
Because many places fit several themes, for example a historic church is both a monument and a religious site.
Yes. If you see a mistake on the map or an attraction is missing, report it through the portal and the data will be checked.
