Feel the atmosphere of Wrocław’s
most extraordinary historic buildings

presenting a wide spectrum of choral
music and oratorio tradition as led by
artistic director Paul McCreesh (1-9
September, wratislaviacantans.pl).

map is

side of the culinary coin is

City suggestions

lovely afternoon seeing zebras, lions
and elephants. zoo.wroclaw.pl/

Germany’s influence on the western
Polish city once known to them as

of a stern, upright German eagle.
