Charming Wroclaw is another ,,must visit” city if you want Poland to introduce to you. Don’t miss Ostrow Tumski surrounded by the river Oder or The Garrison Church. There are two more sacral buildings worth mentioning- Cathedral of St. John Baptist and White Stork Synagogue. The main attraction here is Panorama of the Battle of Raclawice.
