Wrocław sits on the Oder River across a dozen islands linked by more than a hundred bridges, with a Gothic Market Square at its centre that ranks among the largest and most colourful in Poland. Guided tours generally combine the square and Ostrów Tumski cathedral island with a walk along the river, and — a genuine local quirk — a hunt for some of the hundreds of tiny bronze dwarf statues hidden around the city.

It’s an easy city to see on foot in a day, and tours run year-round with walking, bike and boat options along the river.
