Wrocław sits across a dozen islands, and a short cruise along the Odra is the easiest way to see how they and the city's many bridges fit together.
Boats pass beneath Cathedral Island's twin towers and along the modern riverside near the National Forum of Music, giving a different angle on the city than the streets do.
It is a low-effort add-on to a day of walking – book a late-afternoon departure and treat it as a rest stop with a view.
