Welcome to our spring/summer issue! Warm weather is upon us again, and so are the city’s many summery attractions: from boat cruises along the Oder River (p.46) to beach bars (p.72) and open-air beer gardens(p.71) to swimming spots where you can beat the heat (p.81). For optimal warm season enjoyment, we also recommend taking advantage of Wrocław’s many green spaces, including the lush Japanese Garden (p.42) and the Wrocław Islands (p.44), which function as a public park and a popular spot for picnicking and barbecuing. The cultural calendar is packed, as always; check out our culture & events section (p.12) to see what’s on during your visit – it could be outdoor Holi celebrations (Festival of Colours, p.14), the Musica Electronica Nova festival (p.12), or even a gothic rock bonanza at a medieval castle in Bolków (Castle Party, p.15).
