When we moved to Poland, Cargill set up a cultural training meeting for us with a man named, Radek, who was from Wrocław. He encouraged us to visit Wrocław as soon as we could as he thought we would really like it. We unfortunately didn't get there our first year, so we added it to our must see list this year and headed there in March.
Wrocław is the largest city in Western Poland and took us about 3.5 hours to get to via car. It is a university city with over 100k students, which gave it a younger feel - one of our favorite parts of Poland!

We arrived late afternoon, so we headed out to explore and find a place to eat dinner!
 |
| The kids loved the bubble creators in the market square! |
 |
| Wrocław's market square was beautiful! |
 |
| With every trip, we consumed a lot of ice cream! |
Our favorite attraction in Wrocław were the gnomes! The gnomes commemorate the Orange Alternative - a Polish anti-communist movement - the gnome/dwarf figure was the movements symbol. The first five appeared in 2005 and each year many gnomes are added to the collection. The count is currently over 400! The entire family LOVED exploring the city and spotting these cute figures around the town! It was the first time that the kiddos didn't complain about walking on one of our trips - they were quick to run from gnome to gnome!
