hkskyline's 2016 in Wroclaw

Wroclaw of today is a reconstruction after the Mongols invaded in the 13th century. It grew to become the 3rd largest city in the German Empire, and passed to Polish rule after World War II. Perhaps overshadowed by Warsaw and Krakow, Wroclaw is worth seeing. It is the 2016 European Capital of Culture.

wroclaw is a gem! fantastic 19th-century german architecture. the new yorker recently ran a pretty good article about the community of ww2 artifact collectors, as well as the possibility of a "nazi gold train" buried in this once german region. good read: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/20...-for-nazi-gold

Don't think I've seen this city before on the forum. Looks impressive.

I wanted a panoramic view of the city, and found a 215m skyscraper with it. The Sky Tower's observation deck is only open at 30-minute intervals and visitors only have 30 minutes to enjoy the views from the 49th floor.
