Probably the most beautiful film about Wrocław made by a foreigner! A great combination of stories about the history of the city with the presentation of the most important tourist attractions. I admire the knowledge about Wrocław. You would be a good tourist guide... Best wishes

Thanks for watching Ron, glad you enjoyed!

You are the only British tourist whose reports are full of passion and history. I still regret that you have so few subscribers. You know what I'm writing about. The huge sculpture made of inflatable sheet metal on Daliowa Island is the work of Oskar Zięta. The construction of this ultra-light structure is possible thanks to the use of an innovative technology invented by Oskar Zięta - FiDU, i.e. 'Freie Innen Druck Umformung'. It allows for the deformation of elements made of two parts of steel sheet welded together. By 'inflating' with compressed air, metal forms become stable and durable, while maintaining lightness. This work became an artistic manifesto of this innovative technology. The Centennial Hall in Wrocław starred in the film 'The Hunger Games'. The Ballad of Birds and Snakes - the arena of the Hunger Games. An anecdote to the Panorama of Racławice. One of the authors of this painting is Jan Styka. He is known for his religious paintings. Once he fell on his knees in front of a white canvas and screamed loudly. -My God, how am I supposed to paint you?! Here the heavens opened and God spoke: - Styka, don't kneel, just paint me well.

Thank you for the support and comment! Some interesting information there too, I appreciate it 😇

Hi Ben, thanks for this video of your exploration of Wroclaw Poland. Like usual, the footage, your narration and music were all top notch. Seeing cities like Wroclaw Poland show the resilience of the Polish people. After so many of these cities were destroyed in World War II, you would not know by looking at them as they look like a scene out of a Story book. Really enjoyed all of the rich Pastel colors on all of the historic buildings. Glad you caught on film the bullet holes in the concrete of the University as a remembrance of the people that lost their lives there in World War II. Looking forward to hearing about your Channel Membership as I think all of your work is top notch. Hopefully it will be something I can afford, as I would like to support all of the time and energy you put into creating beautiful videos for us to enjoy. Take Care until next video Ben.

Thank you very much for the comment as always Ben. It really is incredible to think how much destruction these cities faced. It would be fascinating to go back in time and compare. Wroclaw really is a special city. I appreciate that, if people could support me that would mean the world, and help me to push further and make more videos going into the future too! Thanks again, Ben 😊

I went there in 2018 and accidentally got my flight dates mixed up and spent an extra day there after turning up at the airport at 5am to find the flight wasn’t until the next day (easy mistake to make when you’ve been travelling for 2 weeks). Ended up going back into the city but decided I couldn’t go to the cheap hostel again because the owner had drove me to the airport and it would have looked weird if I’d gone back 😂

Excellent video Ben, very informative. Wroclaw is so underrated as a city, it was the first place I visited in Poland. I stayed right by cathedral island and it was amazing. Definitely agree about getting out early to avoid the crowds, I found myself wondering round Vienna at 6am the other day. So peaceful and no crowds of people on my photos 😂

Come and visit Bielsko-Biała along with mountains around it (and maybe some smaller towns like Żywiec, Pszczyna or Wisła). It's not as famous as Zakopane but I think also worth a visit.

I thought the fact that Wroclaw Poland was considered the Venice of Poland was very interesting. All of the bridges and water ways look stunning.

Waldemar Fydrych - biography available on Wikipedia. Long term student. Under the commies studies were for free. Even now state unis are for free. Life is more expensive. Shortages under the commies, even rationig ( coupons ) yet life was cheap though often bleak. Even now state unis , big cities only , r for free . So rich study for free, poor pay fees in private unis, coz can afford accomodation and livng costs. Our here studied history in Torun , then Wroclaw. After history , he moved to Art history. Same building different floor. More thsn 10 years altogether. In mid 80s he became a kind of cult figure for students then. Major - the comandeer of fortress Wroclaw - that's the full title. 1989 moved to Paris. Art rejuvenation. Back to Poland - 1st decade of 21st century. Candidate in one of presidential elections. Active in social media, plus bit of writing. Bumped into in 1977, history, Wroclaw Uni.

Wrocław is propebbly the most beautiful city in Poland because of influences of Czech , Poland and Germany you can see there.
