Wrocław is a weird place in terms of influences. It was originally a Polish city in the middle ages. Then it got robbed and burned during the Tatar invasion. Then the Polish king started inviting the German settlers here to repopulate the city. They basically built a new city, on the ruins of the old one. Then the area with Wrocław was sold to Chechia and later became part of Prussia (~Germany).

So since the middle ages up until WWII Wrocław was basically a German city with Polish history. But after WWII the borders changed again and this area became part of Poland again.

At that time 60% of Wrocław was in ruins so the Poles had to rebuild it, but they were purposefully trying to base the new architecture on the old Polish style, to make it feel less German. Plenty of people who came to inhabit Wrocław have been relocated from the Lwów area (then Poland, now Ukraine). So they also brought some influences from that region. And the rebuilts were happening under the Soviet rule so of course there's also a lot of the typical Soviet architecture.

It's like the history of the city has come full circle.

Been living in Wrocław for 11 years now, i love this city; wouldn't move!

[jadwigapomaska]

big Korean population is there due to all the Korean business facilities located in the area, there is a Korean business hub around Wroclaw, you can fly directly to Seul from Wroclaw

[Hiroki-Takahashi]

Gdansk is definately worth visiting. It's my favourite city in Poland

[paterix]

As born & bread Wroclaw-ian, I must agree with all. Thank you for kind words and you’re always more than welcome to pop back in :)

Lviv is similar because it was polish city since 1387 to 1772, later on again polish since 1918 . So you can find similarities everywhere in poland because, poland is and was on the crossroads of cultures from west and east. Additional thing, Poland was huge country reaching smolensk, tallinn, kiev and many other places, so there was strong polish influence in this region as well.
So many cultures here was exchanging styles of architecture among themselves, that's why every polish city and other countries in central europe looks familiar somehow but in the same time so different.
So don't be surprise by Gdansk or Poznan or even Lublin if you will find something familiar again :)

03:50 - this type of building is called "Kamienica" in polish. Wrocław spent centuries under polish, czech, austrian and german rule respectively, and it certainly shows in it's architecture.

I came to visit my family that lived in Wrocław and stayed for good - for me it is the best city to live in Poland :) Plus you stayed in an apartment so close to me, I was shocked ;)

[borneez]

its so weird to see another persons perspective on a city you live in !! very good video❤

[masio]

I studied there. I definitely have fond memories of the place. One of a kind.

Just got back last week after 3 days there in Wrocław to send off my son who’s staying for his Erasmus year. The parks are fabulous, clean and felt very safe. The University of Wrocław Museum was beautiful and totally worth the visit if only to see the top floor balcony that show a 360-degree view of the city. The Panorama Musuem was also worth visiting. The city has a diverse choices of restaurants that were delicious and top notch but also cheaper in price in comparison to Berlin’s where we just came from prior. I was pleasantly surprised, amazed and know that my son will have the grand time. I’d love to visit again soon.

I'm a Warsawer but paid many visits to Wrocław, and perceive it as one of the most attractive Polish cities. The city is as diverse and widespread as I really needed many visits to see the most of its attractions. A good guide is recommended there! Wrocław is an academic city with several Universities, making the city full of young people. There was a huge Greek immigration to Wrocław in 1970s, and it still shows even nowadays (the abundance of Greek restaurants!)

[kolpyts]

Some similarities between Wroclaw and Lwów can be derived from the common history of these cities. After WW2 when Poland lost Lwów, yet gained Wroclaw, the elites from Lwów University were moved to Wroclaw to set university here. Wroclaw (or back then actually Breslau as that’s how Germans called it) was fortified during WW2 and hence mostly destroyed. Therefore, I believe, the influence of Germans (not everything was destroyed) and eastern Poland (Lwów etc) can be found (since the elites that were moved probably influenced greatly the style of Wroclaw while it was being rebuilt.

Really great vlog Wes! I did also pronounce Wro Claw in the English way too! My Gf and I also like Wroclaw more and the small sushi shop before the river bridge is really good! - Somehow Califonia rolls in Poland are really good standard! I heard the Korean population our age do IT here - as I have been mistaken it! I also seen a Japanese garden in Gdansk, Oliwski Park- Very clean- defo worth a visit! Look forward watching your next video!

[artemzherdev]

Thanks for the video! I lived in Wroclaw for nearly 7 years and must say, it is one of the most interesting citeis I have been. In your video you showed like 10% from interesting places of Wroclaw. Maybe 5%

[StickChimpp]

You should definitely visit the Tricity "Trójmiasto" during the summer.

[mywanderways]

Excellent video, great content. Very interesting, hola from Madrid

Hurry up with visiting Gdansk. July is a peak season - try to visit in July in the weekend - it should be fun then! Gdansk is connected with 2 other great spots: Sopot and Gdynia. We call it tri - city (these 3 cities connected with each others). Sopot is a must visit!! Main Street in Sopot „Monte Cassino street” full of restaurants, cafes, bars, clubs. Down the street there is a cool beach and pier. Saturday during the summertime is the best day to spend in Sopot - many locals and tourists hit on Sopot that time and it’s intensive, full of life, fun! I live in Gdansk so I know what I’m saying. Enjoy.

Silesia was mixing pot of Polish, Czech, Jewish and German influence. Modern Wrocław population stands from students from around the Poland (and World). The local population is mostly from people forcefully moved by Soviets from Lviv when it was Polish Lwów. So all of your comments are on point. If anyone watching want to visit one Town in Poland I highly recommend Wrocław.
