Wrocław, Poland: Europe's Most Underrated City

Nestled in the sweeping fields of Lower Silesia, Poland…

Just a few hours southwest of Berlin, Germany or northeast of Prague, Czechia…

Lies a place that I can confidently tell you is currently Europe’s most underrated city.

While some people may be shocked to think that the most underrated city in the whole of Europe could be in Poland…

Even some Poles may express their doubt on that statement…

The truth is as 21st century Europe changes into something many may not recognize…

Poland has emerged as one of the best examples of a truly European sense of beauty and calmness that one can enjoy while here on this wonderful continent.

With that said, welcome to Wroclaw, Poland… Witamy we Wroclawiu…

7 Reasons Wroclaw, Poland Is Europe’s Most Underrated City.

Wrocław, from an “international” standpoint, is arguably the best located city in Poland, and one of the best located cities in all of central Europe.

You can go from the center of Wroclaw to the center of Berlin in just 4 hours by train, door-to-door as we say in America…

And maybe even a little faster if you drive by car at “Polish” speeds… haha.

You can be in Prague, Czechia in 3.5 hours by car or 4.5 hours by bus… Vienna in 5 hours by car, or if you decide to stay in Poland…

You can reach all of the major cities such as Warszawa, Krakow, Poznan, or even Gdansk within 5 hours, depending on which city you choose to visit.

Even the Wroclaw airport itself is a Ryanair hub and often runs cheap flights to Italy, the UK, Greece, France, and other major destinations…

And even better: the airport is a comfortable easy flat ride to the city center itself… making air travel a comparative breeze.


Wroclaw is a flat, bike-able and walkable city with many bike lanes provided for its citizens, an extensive scooter network (my personal favorite way of getting around)…

And almost grid-like street system that makes it easy to remember “where you are”, thanks to the central nature of the Rynek, nestled right next to the River Odra.

As an aside - as much as I love Krakow, the fact that the Rynek in Krakow is so far (and down a hill) from the river itself is a noticeable difference with Wroclaw, wherein you can walk from the Rynek to the river in around 5 mins…

Which makes an “afternoon stroll” in Wroclaw extremely dynamic and pleasant when you want some fresh air…

Now the breathtaking riverside that cuts through Wroclaw itself has amazingly quaint islands in the middle with apartment buildings, commercial restaurants and shops, historic churches, and even a few well maintained parks to relax in.
