Picture-perfect, charming and just too lovely for its own good, the Rynek, or Town Square in Wroclaw is in the heart of the city’s pedestrian zone and one of the oldest medieval market squares in Poland.
The Town Square found its beginnings in the 13th century and is where local Wroclawians and tourists come together to shop and dine or in many cases, enjoy a pint of Polish lager with a plate of good, old-fashioned pierogies and kielbasa.
Some notable points of interest in the market include the seated statue of Alexander Fredro (one of Poland’s great comic playwrights), a replica of E.M. Geyger’s fountain with bronze cast bear (a superstitious tourist site, according to the locals), and an elegant stone monument called the Pillory. When the sun goes down and the lights go on though, the Town Square turns into a nightlife mecca with leggy Polish blondes and students come out to play in the area’s multiple nightclubs, bars, and cafes.
