The Old Town is the oldest part of the left-bank Wrocław and now represents one of Poland's official national Historic Monuments. The oldest part of Wrocław is the area called Ostrów Tumski while the whole area across the river started to develop around what is now known as Market Square later in the 13th century through two settlements: Skultetas in 1214 and Civitas Wratislaviensis (the City of Wrocław) in 1226.

Wrocław is laid out around Old Town's Market Square, or Rynek, it is not only the city’s municipal center, but also the social and cultural center of Wrocław. In the square's center you'll admire the colorful narrow buildings, tenement houses and the Gothic façade of the 13th-century Town Hall.

Head towards the Plac Solny, known as the Flower Market and see St Elizabeth’s Church, the city’s tallest. Travel to the unique District of Four Denominations and reach the main building of Wroclaw University, Ceremonial Hall and take in views from the Mathematical Tower.
