Aula Leopodina in Wroclaw
Aula Leopodina

Wroclaw has a very German feel in the architecture and the buildings’ colors and details, perhaps in some ways more German than most of re-built Germany.

The University, from the exterior to the doors, the ceilings and of course Aula Leopodina is incredible. It is perhaps the first and only true Baroque buildings I’ve truly liked and the views from the top didn't hurt either.

There's also some islands in the city with churches on them. There was one building nearby on the river that impressed me more than the churches; it was all stucco with wood like any stereotypical German house. It also had a great little garden in the back.

There's a panorama in town that is huge, but the tour is long. It is, however very impressive, despite the half hour long tour.

The town square is nice and the Town Hall incredible. The town hall is one of the most photographed buildings in Poland and for good reason.

Both the town hall and the Aula are worth the visit to Wroclaw alone.
