Explore the Cathedral Island

Cathedral Island is the oldest part of the city of Wrocław in southwestern Poland. It was formerly an island between branches of the Oder River. It is a quiet and more relaxed area of Wroclaw that almost feels like a different city and it is a great place to stroll around and explore all the old and stunning architecture here.

For a nice stunning panoramic view of Cathedral Island, be sure to stop by the riverside promenade before crossing the bridge to Cathedral Island. From the promenade, you should be able to see the island and all its magnificent architecture all in one go. If you are looking to escape the bustling city of Wroclaw and stroll around a medieval town where street lamps are still lit by a lamplighter, Cathedral Island is the place to be. To see the lamplighter, be sure to get there before dusk.
