Wrocław · Things to do

Na Grobli 17. A water-science museum inside a Victorian reservoir: seven zones, 70-odd multimedia exhibits, around 45zl. Allow 2 hours.

A 1908 market hall with soaring parabolic concrete arches, still selling flowers, cheese and pickles to people who actually live here.

Laid out for the 1913 World Exhibition beside Centennial Hall and later restored with Japanese help. Open in the warm months only.

A courtyard at Ruska 46 hung with rescued communist-era neon signs. Free, ringed with bars, and much better after dark.

Kayaks, gondolas and small cruise boats work the river and its islands from spring to autumn. The cheapest way to see the bridges.
