Follow the locals and hipsters to the historic Browar Mieszczanski brewery at ul. Hubska 44. Every Sunday, this vibrant market showcases small producers offering authentic Polish specialties like hearty borsch or zapiekanki—a nostalgic '80s street food classic: toasted baguette topped with melted cheese, mushrooms, pickles, and more, riding a retro wave. The striking brick building also hosts exhibitions and fashion events. Next, descend into a transformed WWII air-raid shelter, now a bold museum of contemporary art with a rooftop café. Despite Wroclaw's year as European Capital of Culture, government cuts to funding—favoring traditional heritage—threaten its future. Catch the innovative exhibits while you can.
- Fly Paris to Wroclaw via Warsaw with LOT Polish Airlines.
- Stay at Jean-Paul II Hotel for a spiritual ambiance on charming Tumski Island.
