Recent years have revealed many forgotten gems in Eastern Europe and it goes without saying that the city of Wroclaw is one of the more valuable tourist discoveries. The fact that it will be one of the host cities in the EUFA Euro 2012 Championships says this is no ordinary place. The fourth largest city in Poland has a charm that woos tourists to visit again and again.
Wroclaw boasts a functional and harmonious mix of modernity and tradition. Still in the shadow of the two bastions of Polish tourism – Krakow and Warsaw, Wroclaw has no reason to feel unappreciated. Its history is turbulent as over the centuries the city has been either part of Poland, Bohemia, Austria, Prussia or Germany only to become Polish once again after World War II, which left the city destroyed.

Dotted with bridges, linking its various neighborhoods, a splendid market square that is one of the largest in Europe, the oldest restaurant in Europe, art galleries, beautiful parks, astonishing examples of architecture - old and new, excellent public transport, wide range of hotels and remarkable friendliness. Every year Wroclaw attracts more and more foreign investment with its strategic location and attractive investment policies.
