The main Market Square is the centre of urban and cultural life in Wroclaw, located in the very heart of the city. It is a wonderfully pleasant square with old buildings, many restaurants and shops. In the summer time you can enjoy a cup of coffee at the outdoor seating in cafés/restaurants and watch the world go by.

Located on the Weserpromenade, the Stadtgarten Vegesack was created as a botanic garden meant to showcase a collection of rare and exotic plants. Today, this park is also a popular place for sports, picnics or leisurely walks by the Weser river. There are two barrier-free entrances, one from the Vegesack ferry terminal and the other from Schulkenstraße street.

Built between 527 and 565 AD at the foot of Mount Sinai for Emperor Justinian, this monastery later took its name from St Catherine of Alexandria, whose remains are said to rest here. It’s more fortress than church, with thick stone walls guarding the Church of the Transfiguration, the chapel of the Burning Bush, and a monks-only library packed with ancient manuscripts. Inside, you’ll find mosaics, religious ornaments, and some of the oldest illuminated manuscripts in the world on display. Outside, don’t miss Moses’ Well and the garden with centuries of history. The place is open most mornings but closed on Fridays, Sundays, and Orthodox feast days. Still active today, the monastery holds importance across Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, and continues its Greek Orthodox traditions uninterrupted.
