Wrocław's Market Square is one of the largest in Europe, ringed by a Gothic town hall and rows of narrow, colourfully painted townhouses. It has been the heart of the city for centuries.
A guided walk ties the square to the nearby university quarter and Cathedral Island, with the history of a city that has been German, then Polish, folded in along the way.
Climb St Elizabeth's tower for the best view over the rooftops, then spend the rest of the afternoon following the trail of bronze dwarves hidden around the streets.
