Wrocław, Poland: Europe's Most Underrated City
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 พ.ค. 2024
- Nestled in the sweeping fields of Lower Silesia, Poland…
Just a few hours southwest of Berlin, Germany or northeast of Prague, Czechia…
Lies a place that I can confidently tell you is currently Europe’s most underrated city.
While some people may be shocked to think that the most underrated city in the whole of Europe could be in Poland…
Even some Poles may express their doubt on that statement…
The truth is as 21st century Europe changes into something many may not recognize…
Poland has emerged as one of the best examples of a truly European sense of beauty and calmness that one can enjoy while here on this wonderful continent.
With that said, welcome to Wroclaw, Poland… Witamy we Wroclawiu…

More Poland Walking Tours and Insights From An American In Poland: • Poland Walking Tours
----------------------
Where in this video, we’ll provide you with guided tours of the city’s infinitely walkable and bike-able streets and parks…
We’ll explore the past-meets-the-present style of architecture on display at almost every corner…
We’ll show you the universities (and yes this is a “college town” as we say in America)…
Mention a bit about wow to get around, where to go, the best things to do…
And much more as we discuss:
7 Reasons Wroclaw, Poland Is Europe’s Most Underrated City.
Wrocław, from an “international” standpoint, is arguably the best located city in Poland, and one of the best located cities in all of central Europe.
You can go from the center of Wroclaw to the center of Berlin in just 4 hours by train, door-to-door as we say in America…
And maybe even a little faster if you drive by car at “Polish” speeds… haha.
You can be in Prague, Czechia in 3.5 hours by car or 4.5 hours by bus… Vienna in 5 hours by car, or if you decide to stay in Poland…
You can reach all of the major cities such as Warszawa, Krakow, Poznan, or even Gdansk within 5 hours, depending on which city you choose to visit.
Even the Wroclaw airport itself is a Ryanair hub and often runs cheap flights to Italy, the UK, Greece, France, and other major destinations…
And even better: the airport is a comfortable easy flat ride to the city center itself… making air travel a comparative breeze.
Wroclaw is a flat, bike-able and walkable city with many bike lanes provided for its citizens, an extensive scooter network (my personal favorite way of getting around)…
And almost grid-like street system that makes it easy to remember “where you are”, thanks to the central nature of the Rynek, nestled right next to the River Odra.
As an aside - as much as I love Krakow, the fact that the Rynek in Krakow is so far (and down a hill) from the river itself is a noticeable difference with Wroclaw, wherein you can walk from the Rynek to the river in around 5 mins…
Which makes an “afternoon stroll” in Wroclaw extremely dynamic and pleasant when you want some fresh air…
Now the breathtaking riverside that cuts through Wroclaw itself has amazingly quaint islands in the middle with apartment buildings, commercial restaurants and shops, historic churches, and even a few well maintained parks to relax in.
COMMENT: What other questions / topics / places in Poland would you like us to cover?
MAZURY !! Zamek Ksiaz. Malbork.
Yes Maci we went to Ksiąsż castle and it was lovely. It was a bit difficult to shoot good video with so many tourists so I may have to go back during the week when there are less people! :)
South from Wrocław in the mountains you can see the remnants of the giant. I meant the "Reise" project, which was supposed to be an underground capital of the III Reich made out of bunkers. Książ Castle is a good place to start. The legends of the golden train, amber chamber and many others add the romantic mystery to the whole region.
@@amerykanskitak You should rent a car, and travel across Poland, using regional roads, not the highways.
Check out Podlasie, especially Tykocin, Supraśl and Kraina Otwartych Okiennic
Wrocław is the most beautiful city in Poland. Greetings from Warsaw.
🇵🇱
Hello Warsaw Poland !! 🇵🇱 😍👍👍👋💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💕💞
I agree 👍 💯 I am planning to visit tgere within the next few years !!! It's been in my bucket list for decades !! I love Polish people ! Such an underrated/ under appreciated country & people !! Wroclaw seems like a GEM 💎 ✨️ 😍 👍👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶🇵🇱💕💞
Woooooow, Beautiful Poland,
hope to sightsee one day.
Great Video !!!.
A ja tu mieszkam! Od urodzenia! I bardzo mi tu dobrze
To najlepsze miasto! Śliczny Wrocław!
I must say, being a student of architecture in Wrocław (our building is located in front of Tołpa's Park) . Me and my friends, find great pleasure in chilling in the park with guitar and beer after long lectures. Nothing can beat that feeling 🥰
Haha awesome! I hope you enjoyed a couple of clips in this video at Tołpa’s Park!
Is it easy to live in Wroclaw without a car?
@@Gabriel-pt6tq yeah. I mean it depends in witch part of Wrocław do u live. But a big part of it is connected by trams and if not, then buses for sure go there. I've been living here for 2 years for now and never needed to use car for real. (maybe except when we needed to go to the IKEA, fyi buses still go there But it takes about an hour)
Its not that bad that these cities are underrated. Thats maybe why they are still so beautiful and clean
I often think the same!
Agreed! :)
Good point!
I lived there for a time (coming originally from Eastern Poland and Kraków) and loved it a lot. Islands, bridges, churches, but above all the creative spirit of the citizens, who know it's not all given for granted. Beautiful place!
Yes indeed! A wonderful city with wonderful people
Pan zasłużył na otrzymanie Honorowego Obywatela Wrocławia!
Dziękuję bardzo Piotrze! To bardzo miłe z twojej strony. Mam nadzieję, że wszyscy we Wrocławiu są dumni ze swojego miasta, to raj na ziemi!
@@amerykanskitak Raju na Ziemi nie zbudowali Polacy i nikt inny nie zbuduje!
Ucieszyłem się, że Panu to miasto spodobało się (po II wojnie światowej Polacy - głównie z kresów wschodnich Rzeczypospolitej - odbudowali tak, jak potrafili), ja też kocham Wrocław.
Mieszkam w Szczecinie i to miasto też pięknie Polacy odbudowali!
Serdecznie pozdrawiam.
Yes, people in Wrocław are different than others and there is a reason for that.
This city is entirely made up by people who were moved there from east, all local German population has been moved away (some stayed, but very very few). This means there is no dividing people by being local or immigrant, because everybody in Wroclaw is an immigrant after 1945. You can feel in Kraków or Warsaw sometimes this distance, some people think that they are local and the rest is "outsiders". Wrocław just doesn't have that and additionally it has highest % of foreigners in the country. It's a very open city with a positive attitude towards immigrants/visitors and that's a huge plus ;)
Sam miałem o tym napisać in english, ale mnie wyprzedziłeś, Cała prawda. Wrocławianin w drugim pokoleniu.
Funny how Warsaw people sometimes feel so proud and separate while basically no one was left there after war.
My grandfather was sent there as a child in 1947, he experienced the rebuilding of the city.
And the other thing is 300k students from all the world each school year
@@marian3159 ya and some of them stay here, making Wroclaw one of few cities in Poland that gain population constantly ;)
Wrocław - cool Polish Western city inhabited by forcefully displaced Poles from pre-war Eastern Poland, which they had to leave due to Jalta criminal like deal between Stalin and Roosevelt. Then Roosevelt and Churchill had sold Poland to Stalin, despite Polish heroic battles in WW2.
Many older Wrocław's people were born in Poland's legendary marvel city of Lwów (Lvov) which today is on Ukrainian territory.
well, it interesting how they started to identify with Wroclaw then ... I guess it was a process, too.
Twoje filmy wyróżniają się bardzo pozytywnie spośród wielu filmów obcokrajowców pokazujących Polskę, są przemyślane i ciekawe, pełne odniesień do historii danego regionu. Z przyjemnością będę oglądać następne filmy i relacje. Chciałabym ci podpowiedzieć kilka ciekawych miejsc w Polsce: 1) Szczecin - jedno z największych miast w Polsce, w północno-zachodniej jej części. Ma ciekawą architekturę, Wały Chrobrego nad rzeką Odrą (idealne do spacerowania), renesansowy Zamek Książąt Pomorskich, budynek Filharmonii Szczecińskiej (ciekawostka: w 2015 r. budynek ten otrzymał główną nagrodę w najważniejszym w Europie konkursie architektonicznym im.Miesa van der Rohe, budynek filharmonii zaprojektowało znane hiszpańskie biuro architektoniczne Estudio Barozzi Veiga z Barcelony), Muzeum Centrum Dialogu Przełomy (znajduje się obok Filharmonii, w 2016 r. otrzymało nagrodę "World Building of the Year 2016" w konkursie World Architecture Festival w Berlinie, zaprojektowane przez polskie biuro architektoniczne KWK Promes Roberta Koniecznego). 2. Pojezierze Drawskie - piękny zielony region, pokryty ponad 250 malowniczymi jeziorami, dużo szlaków kajakowych, rowerowych i pieszych. Mieści się tu 12 rezerwatów przyrody, m.in. Drawski Park Krajobrazowy. 3. Zamek w Malborku - polecam bardzo! Największy w Europie (a może i na świecie ?) zamek zbudowany z cegły, wspaniały przykład gotyckiej architektury zakonnej, krzyżackiej. 4. Karkonosze - nie są może to wysokie góry, ale gwarantuję fantastyczne widoki, niezbyt trudne szlaki, ciekawe formacje skalne. Warto wejść (lub wjechać) na Śnieżkę, Szrenicę, Łabski Szczyt, Wielki Szyszak, Śnieżne Kotły, wodospad Szklarka i Kamieńczyk. Można wymieniać tak długo..... :) To na razie tyle poleceń. Pozdrawiam ze Szczecina :)
Best Polish city
It is my home town. I Love it.
love my city :)it's beautiful :) nice video :) thanks :)
Dzięki AlexK!
Wow great place amazing my friend just enjoy and here again sending my full support 🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱
I have been several times and love it❤
Thank you for this film ❤️ I've lived in Wrocław my whole life and it's nice to hear and see that foreigners like it too.
Proszę bardzo Róża! Najlepszy miasto!
Btw, Wrocław was destroyed during WW2 due to heavy battle between Germans and Soviets on their way to Berlin. Hitler's decision to make it a fortress was actual death sentence for the town. Poles had rebuilt Wrocław as it was after 1945.
is it true that the remaining bricks out of the ruins of the old town where send to rebuild Warsaw first?
By far my favourite city in Poland and I saw all the big ones and most medium ones, beautiful architecture, city centre is compact, there are plenty of really great places to go out to, a very good university, great art both to watch and participate and a lot of green spaces. Not sure about all Europe, but Wroclaw is certainly underrated, but I think it's a good thing: noisy and tourists go to Krakow leaving Wroclaw for more sophisticated part of us
You must visit the dam on Solina.
As a person who lived in mamy cities like Kraków, Poznań and Lublin and Wrocław I have to admit that I have met here best People mordki than anywhere else. That why I stayed here :D
Wrocław was founded by polish duke Mieszko I in 985. There are no evidences that any settlement existed in this place before that, except some legends and hypothesis.
Wrocław and whole Silesia were taken by Czechs in 1335.
In 1374 Czechia became part of German Empire.
In middle ages Wrocław was settled by Poles, but to the city also many Czechs and Germans were moving.
In 1474 Wrocław left Hansa trading union.
In 1475 in Wrocław the very first printed text in polish language was done.
In 1526 Czechia was joined to Habsburg domain.
In 1760 Silesia was taken from Habsburg Empire and joined to Prussia.
In 1945 Stalin decided to restore original borders of Poland and Poland regained Down Silesia with ruins of Wrocław in exchange for losing Lwów and Southern-east polish lands.
Stalin decided to move Poland westward - not to restore some dubious "original" borders from some 1000 years ago.
@@henningbartels6245 check the borders of Poland in X and XI century, ok?
@@marekkwapisiewicz2675 cannot find any record of the borders in 9th century... since there hardly any records from this time at all. Do you have a map of it? Some entity started to form in the 10th - but most towns didn't exist back then. I'm still convinced Stalin did a rough west move and not some historic reconstruction. He didn't order the Poles to live in 10th clay huts either.
Thanks for this film! I live here for whole of my life and my family is also from here. Thanks for showing my beloved city!
Glad that you enjoyed it! I love Wrocław
pěkné 🙂
Excellent content. Well done! 🔥😍
I just returned from this City! Very Nice!
This seems to be a very interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
You must go to Opole, that's smaller but very beautiful, green and familiar city. With river, islands and canals. Between Wrocław and Katowice. Many ppl. doesn't know anything about that city. Worth to see.
Yes I will!
Dziękuję😘💕
Please make more videos on how you were able to move Poland ❤️ I really would love to move there.
Yes , people in Wrocław are the best !!!
Tak! 🇵🇱
Thank you for the nice episode!
Thank you!
Thank you. Wonderful video.
Dzięki!
Please visit Łódź as well
Thank you for your job .
🚀🚀 Będe
Jak sie masz? I am keen to travel to Poland and believe the railway systems are efficient. Wroclaw certainly is on the list.
I live in Wroclaw
The y in rynek (and every Polish word) is not pronounced as ee but as i in kid or bin
Nice video. Thx. Have just one question is Wroclaw humid or dry?
You should check out Słowiński National Park with mighty dunes. Best to feel it without so much crowd (most people choose Łeba as starting point) is from Czołpino (Car Parking-> Czołpino Dune -> Beach -> Lighthouse -> Car Parking)
Definitely! Thank you for this tip Rafał!
Hello, thank you for this beautiful video.
Could you tell me which beautiful music did you use in the background? Is that a polish music? Thank you!
One of my 🇵🇱cousins who was born in Wrocław immigrated to Canada in the 80s with his parents. His wife is of Irish & German origin and his German grandfather-in-law was born in a Silesian village not far from Wrocław when it was part of Prussia / Germany!
Wow!
Była częścią Niemiec ale wcześniej to były tereny zamieszkałe przez Słowian Rod Śląskich Piastów. Germanie wszędzie się panoszyli i niewolili okoliczne kraje i grabili.
@@yvettechodek8501 what a nonsense! German speaking settlers were encourage to move into sparsely populated regions by the local aristrocrates. With them cutting down forrest, creating more farmland, building villages, bringing crafts and mining techniques, letting towns grow and prosper through trade they created more tax revenue for those local aristrocrates. Even so there was a Slavic population, those people did not necessarily consider themselves as Poles and where assimilated over centuries in the German speaking majority. Wroclaw became the city of several hundred thousands which it is today- through centuries as a Bohemian, Austrian, Prussian and German town. And so it became the home of CO84trucker's ancestors.
It is sad to see your need to write some anti-German sentiment underneath a comment which just wanted to share some family history.
Great video ! Wroclaw is the nicest city in Poland hands down.
Zgadzam się!!
Hi, since you asked for suggestions, I wonder if there are any notable cathedrals in Poland that you would be willing to make a video about?
Thanks for the comment Retro! We will definitely keep working on cathedral work, although in the meantime here is a tour of a gothic Polish monastery near Wrocław we did recently: th-cam.com/video/VlYWbx5bjS4/w-d-xo.html
@@amerykanskitak Thanks! I must've missed it.
Wrocław... the city of thousand bridges.
stary kocham Cię 🥰
Checkout Szczecin. You will be amazed.
And despite being a 'flat' town, there are tons of mountain hiking trails within 150 km radius.
Very true!
Initially a Polish town, it got unfortunately Germanized for centuries becoming a totally German town of Breslau which became the most besieged location of all German locations - the Red Army spent 6 months of siege to take it which is almost unknown.
Later all the Germans got deported from there by Poles and the town got rebuilt.
Yes exactly Michael. There are still buildings in Wrocław with German writing on them and even the name “Breslau”
Actually in the first place city was built by Czech king
All Polish cities in the Middle Ages were inhabited by the Germans.
@@robertrobski1013 Who was maybe a bit a Slovak )
Well, it's a Slavonic place initially anyway.
@Michael: Why would it be "unfortunately Germanized for centuries". Those German settlers and inhabitants were it, who made it from a small place to a town and to a city.
You can read this so often in comments: "but this and this city was originally Polish". First we don't know how the inhabitants of this place identified themselves 1000 years ago. Maybe they thought of themselves as Silesians or... Pommeranians etc. Secondly, 800 years ago there was often no city - just a small settlement or a fortress. The real urban development started with the Germans moving in and assimilating with the locals. German merchants and craftmen made the towns grow and thrive , benefiting from the German town laws you can find in these areas. The university grew under Prussian rule in Breslau. Later with Prussia and the German empire came the railways and industries which let Silesia and Breslau boom even more. All that led to the big city Wroclaw is today... to call it "unfortunate" is rather big historical misunderstanding.
I cannot decide when to visit this city. Either in October or sometime in spring. Any thoughts on that?
We are very outdoorsy family, so we are definitely want to check out as many parks as possible.
Those are very good times! October it will be a bit colder (maybe 10-15 Celsius each day) but still very nice
I'd go May (June) or September. June-August is the summer time, meaning city is being visited by tourists mostly while the students and citizens are mostly away/on holidays. May & September is where the city is green which is always nice, plus you'll get the feeling of the city vibe (circa 120 000 students in this 640 000 city). In beginning of May, theres city 'spring brake' / festival. Eg. check 'Thanks Jimmy Festival' on YT - an annual attempt on Guinness record. Plus official website of Wroclaw posts 'Wroclaw na weekend' every week telling what and where is going on in the city itself. Check 'Barycz Valley' for canoes/kayaks (1h north of city), Sniezka maybe (2h south), Ksiaz Castle 1.5h south etc. Another good thing imo is the city transport: trams and buses. Its reliable and theres a ticket machine in every bus/tram and the good parts is: you choose the tickets, pay contactless with your card, and thats it (no printed ticket - in case of ticket control they just scan you card to see if the ticket was paid)
@@kozirocks thank you for the reply. Very informative, especially about transportation! I cannot wait to visit it
October is the best when the University returns, the place is transformed.
I live there :)
❤️
Ministry of Tourism in Poland should hiring you.
Haha maybe someday 🙏
Park Grabiszyński i Zachodni są najlepsze.
💕
Look for Hel , Gdansk
Wrocław is Old Money People’s city and Dolnośląskie cointain more palaces and mainsions than Loara Valley in France.. Wealhy people last years step by step back to life here after decades socjalists goverment which led to bankruptcy and citisens had to made everything from begining in the last 30 years. It will be still growing and smart region. And airport is very smart… around max 2h fly to every capitol and cities in Europe. I miss only faster train betwen cities in PL because trains in Poland rewuire investment huge bilions and bilions zloty…
👍👍👍👍
mi city
Wiedziałem hehehe
I dare to claim that the best rynek (or market square) in Poland is in Zielona Góra one of the reasons? It's not square and it is very long and that makes it a travel.
I have not been there but I will check it out!
Should you find yourselves in southeast Poland, the area of Galicia, my paternal grandfather came from the area of Jaroslaw, my paternal grandmother from the village of Kanczuga, just west of Jaroslaw.
Thank you! I will check it out my friend
Wroclaw is southeast from Berlin
Thank you for the video. You should be recognize the Polish citizenship.
Breslau *
I think Gdynia is the most underrated city. It has a lot of real gems of a masterpiece quality modernist architecture. Real architecture, unlike the same old, same old gingerbread German “architecture” you see in Torun, Gdansk, Wroclaw, Nuremberg etc., etc. When you’ve seen one of those cities, you’ve seen them all. For good medieval and renaissance architecture with Polish flavor (with some Italian and German admixture) you could visit Krakow, Sandomierz, Tarnow, Poznan, Zamosc. Happy discoveries!
Thanks Mark! Yes we plan to head to Gdańsk, Gdynia, and other cities very soon
There is no "real" and "fake" architecture. Gdynia is a nice place, but everything looks the same, its just plain boring. People visit mostly Gdansk not Gdynia for a reason. Besides old towns in Wroclaw, Krakow or Nuremberg, there is also entire modern parts of them that are interesting too. Simply ignorant to call them "same".
@@amerykanskitak while you will be there visit półwysep helski it's the only peninsula in poland
Thanks Big Boot!
@@amerykanskitak the forest there is really beautiful there so if you like long peacfull walks you'll love the place the beach between jurata and hel is like in the movie. Also there is a huge residency(few km^2) that belongs to the president of Poland
🇵🇱🏆
Wrislaw obok Krakowa i Sandomierza zaliczany do 3 Stolic Krolesrwa Polskiego. Przed chrztem Polski panował tam ród Ślaskich Piastów. Polacy gościnny naród bez zaoediw imoerialistycznych czy kolonialnych, dla każdego zawsze otwarte drzwi i najgorzej jak zaproszony gość zaczyna uznawać twój dom za swój a gdy morduje i go wreszcie wyprosisz udaje pokrzywdzonego ze się go przesiedlilo
At the times before the introduction of Christianity in Polish lands was there much? I mean that much that you would call it "capital"?
I would love to see you make a video about Warsaw. In Poland Warsaw has the chance to become something like New York in USA. We have a big increase of scyscreepers in the capital. I would want to see your opinion of what do you think about the big city life in the capital and its future and compare it to america.
Thanks for the response! Yes I’ve been to Warszawa many times but I can go back specifically for a video :)
Wrocław is not underrated at all. At least not by Poles and Germans. For Anglo-Saxons every Polish city in underrated except Krakow cause that’s the only one you know and it’s literally overrated.
Dzięki! 🚀
Mate, I'm bringing it up in good faith. When you are comparing those two buildings there th-cam.com/video/6Vfo3rnISTg/w-d-xo.html the building on the left is actually younger then on the right. The modernist one.
The right one - modernist one was build by Germans en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renoma_(Wrocław)
The left one - was actually build by polish communist government after the WW2 - pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kościuszkowska_Dzielnica_Mieszkaniowa_we_Wrocławiu (it's only in polish, auto translate if you wish). I know it, I was raised there ;)
Nevertheless, great video!
Thanks for commenting on this! Fascinating
@@amerykanskitak yeah mate. When it comes to the hood, it have to be straight.
Oh, Wrocław doesn't have 600k people, the real number was around 1 mln by police statistics. 600k is official data but right now people don't need to "register" in particular city. Students are not doing this and other people. Now if we will add refugees from Ukraine it might be around 1,1 mln - 1,2 mln.
🇵🇱🇺🇸👍
"CH" is more or less "H", the way you spell it, it's actually "CZ"
In the word Czechia of course
Thank you! I will work on this :)
It's Prague Czech (republic), not Chechnya! These are two complete different countries!
Czechia (/ˈtʃɛkiə/), the official English short name specified by the Czech government, is used by many international organisations and attested as early as 1841. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_of_the_Czech_Republic
@@amerykanskitak Yea, I know this. But you definitely don't pronounce it like this. I hear you saying /ˈtʃɛʃiə/ and not "k" at the second place. Which is often confused with Chechnya. I know it might be hard to say, but it is a bit confusing.
@@amerykanskitak Huh I think Milan is Czech, so you touched a nerve there ;) It's pronounced with a hard "K", like in the word "cheque"
Capital of Chechnya is Prague., this is a simple.
@@konyadanmeryem7712 Chechnya is a part of Russia also known as Chechen Republic. Czech Republic other name is Czechia and it's not the same country. But now people can laugh at them that they are Chechens after they changed their name for no reason :)
Zapraszam do Łodzi. Miasto ,które ma 650 lat. Co prawda nie mamy rzeki ,ale mamy Piotrkowską ulicę ,która liczy 5 kilometrów. Stoją tam domy ,przepiękne z 1850 roku i nie tyko.

Right now? This city Its Kyiv number two.
👍
How do you rate Wrocław's weed? : D
Wouldn’t know 😂
I was in Wrocław once and I didn't notice anything special about the residents. generally, the smaller the municipality, the less pretentious the residents.
The small municipality are very backward! That is property of Kaczynski PIS nationalist party!
where pasibus ?????!!??
Haha true
Pasibus ssie pauke, najgorszy i przedrożony. Jedzie na nieistniejącej renomie sprzed lat.
Most underrated Polish city is Łódź not Wrocław
With the worst infrastructure and city major in Poland!
🫣
imagine faking your american accent
🤔
Poland’s most shity city with alot of poverty, discrimination and bad work enviroment. Based on my living expirience there, and also few other people, bikes are being stolen in huge amount, and lovely old building are not cared about, as mostly pathology lives there. Me and my Girlfriend struggled to understand how people from Wroclaw think their city is nice. Each city environment is connected to its citizens, and Seems to have badly socially developed citizens. Like spend some time in Gdańsk, Olsztyn, Toruń, Poznań and then go back to Wroclaw. I swear it will be quick decision to move out from Wroclaw. Luckily my 2 year expirience with that city ended and I’m happy to live in northern Poland where people are nicer. There is huge difference between Polish citizents from other parts of Poland and those from south west. It is cultural, mental difference which I would not expect to be so visible in Poland. Yet it feels like different country to me with the same language. People are less open and think big of themselves(based on those who I’ve met). When it comes to work everyone who I know who moved to Wroclaw regret it. Low salaries, discrimination in work environment, and expectations to work 12 hour shifts. Like compare Gdańsk. I work in the same company, do the same things and salary difference is huge. Work environment created by company and standard is different, It’s mostly like in UK. Different mindset.
😮
How about Krakow?
@@periwinkletinkle7371 city that brings whole polish elite together. Don't know much about life there myself, but from my friends who are musiacians I've heard alot goooooooood opinions about Kraków. Wroclaw I would never recommend and its not only my opinion, but also few others who moved there for some time and experienced exactly the same disappointment :D
Underrated? Łódź be like WTF
"Underrated"? Od kilkunastu lat wszyscy się srają z Wrocławiem. "Underrated" to nie jest trafne określenie. Już prędzej "over estimated".
😂
overrated
😂👍
To be honest it's german city which lies in Poland.
It was founded by Poles :)
@@amerykanskitak *Czechs
Martians 😂😂😂😂😂
@@marcindomanski4763 obviously it was already a marketplace in the 900's before a Polish conquered it. If the Slavic inhabitans rather considered themselves as Czech or Silesians we don't know.
Breslau is German history.
Breslau/Wrocław has a complicated history. Read about it.
🤔
@@PiotrJaser So like Stettin, Landsberg, Danzig, Allenstein, Liegnitz, Kolberg, Swinemünde, Waldenburg, Hirschberg, Glatz, Küstrin, Schneidemühl, Köslin, Marienburg, Lauenburg, etc... not too complicated. Would you have experienced such a loss, you would say these are polish cities. In 1945 poland lost territories that were only a bit populated by poles; and gained territories that were 100% german. I guess in your school books is written sth else.
@@fritzmuller8761 Poles know the history, thank you. And we don't need to be lectured by a German. Maybe next time you open your mouth for some brainless German nationalism, consider why you lost all those cities. My grandparents arrived in Wrocław as refugees to find a wasteland, and they worked their whole lives to repair and preserve it. Maybe show some gratitude to the people who cleaned up your mess so you can visit today and rejoice in your great German heritage.
@@Amakhar a discussion, like in these comments, has not the aim to agree on every detail. Often it is a good chance to get to know and unterstand other POV or perspective toward a topic. You can not deny that a lot of Polish comments are not free from nationalistic sentiments either. It could be refreshing to see a different perspective as well. Why do we need to divided history and historical sights ... why not share them ... especially nowadays if we are all part of the EU.
Yes, the Poles did a great job in rebuilding some old towns ... but accepting the German heritage is rather a new development. Lately you can see renovated German inscriptions at Wroclaws Central Station. All over the Old Town you can still see the marks on houses where they knocked off the German inscriptions in the 1950's and later.
Europe most overrated city*
Please explain me why everybody In Poland is In love with this „fake mediveal” city?
There are prettier cities In Poland like Poznań, Łódź, Kraków.
Wrocław is so overrated.
I agree. When I visited Wroclaw it was not as good as I expected, while Poznan was much better. Even Katowice exceeded my expectations, that's what I call an underrated city!
Haha, thanks for commenting :) Those are other cities are lovely as well!
Łódź XDDDDDDDDDD miasto slums z 10 żulami na metr kwadratowy
>Łódź
xD I guess someone is from Łódź here.
Chłopie porównujesz metropolię klasy gamma z brzydkim, szarym, pożydowskim miastem jakim jest Łódź, nijakim Poznaniem ( co prawda mającym ciekawą zabudowę śródmiejską i masę secesji) oraz przereklamowanym Krakowem? Poza tym najpierw piszesz o sztucznym średniowiecznym mieście a potem wspominasz o Poznaniu który jest idealnym przykładem odbudowanego po wojnie średniowiecznego miasta, gdzie w wielu przypadkach odbudowywano kamieniczki od zera, a w samym rynku przetrwało jedynie kilkanaście kamienic, które i tak zostały potem zmodyfikowane. Skąd niby ten niskiej klasy modernizm w poznańskim rynku, który już dawno powinien zniknąć? 😉
