Wroclaw: Alternative Tour with Street Art

10. Wroclaw: Alternative Tour with Street Art

In Wroclaw, it is worth discovering not only the Market Square, the Cathedral Island and the Centennial Hall. The city definitely offers more. On this tour you can visit the one and only Nadodrze District full of places where many directors, including Steven Spielberg, made war movies and street artists from all over the world created their works. The city council has been trying to change this neighborhood for the last years. The process of gentrification is in progress and the moment of the transformation of this district is very visible now. The new together with the old, hip pubs versus shops with cheap alcohol and one-armed bandits, young, well-educated people versus modest living retirees. This diverse mixture and these contrasts are the mark of Nadodrze. Today, Nadodrze is also well-known for small galleries run by young, local artists, crafts companies and projects of the social economy. The walk in this neighborhood will make you hungry, but don’t worry! Nadodrze also offers one of the best bakeries and ice cream parlors in the city. The tour is especially recommended for people who would like to discover Wroclaw in a different, simply alternative way.

I just went on the Wroclaw Boat Party with my girlfriend and we had an amazing time. Really cool way to see the city plus there was unlimited alcohol for 2 hours. I was a bit skeptical about the bar crawl afterwards but it was super easy and the clubs were actually awesome! Definitely going to do this again next time we're back in the city.

I had a blast on the boat party during my friend's hen party. The DJ was great, and got everyone dancing and mingling. The views of the city from the river were also stunning. The staff were friendly and made sure everyone was having a good time. The after-party pub crawl was a fantastic way to keep the party going.

Amazing party! Everybody on the boat were super friendly especially the staff. 2-h open bar is a great idea and the views on the cruise were absolutely beautiful. Life DJ was another great way get the party going. Will be back for sure and recommend it to everyone while in Wroclaw!!

Sch a fun night our with the lads, the staff are so much fun, drinking with us and making sure we had a great night. The photobooth was a nice touch although I lost all the photos we got, probably a good thing as we were drunk as skunks. Such a cracking night out for the price.

I’ve been on a few boat parties in Warsaw and once in Krakow. It’s a favourite activity. So I went to Wrocław to give this a go and it’s just a good as the Warsaw and Krakow ones! Loved it. Thanks to the organisers once again!
