Have you ever been in Wrocław? 

Wrocław is one of the most dynamic city in Poland. Many Corporations have their delivery centers there, the local University is considered one of the best of the Country. It is also a very international city, with many foreigners who work and many Erasmus students attracted by the intense nightlife and by the low cost of life.

The new Bus Station

Huge investments have been made to give a new face to Wrocław. Now the city has a new airport and also the train station has been recently renovated. Wrocław hosted some matches of Euro 2012 and it will be also the European Capital of Culture in 2016.

The new Airport

The time of communism seems very far. Even if the heritage of that period is evident everywhere: from the typical communist blocks of apartments, to the architecture of the buildings, or in the structure of the streets.

But, which is the relation between the present and the past in Wrocław?

It seems complicated.

There is the strong will to show the new Polish development, but sometimes changing turns into deleting the past. Malls are everywhere in the city and recently also the old bus station have been demolished to give space to a new mall (the third in that area – for further information click here).

Market Square

The idea of building up new palaces instead of renovating the existing ones cannot be always the best option. In ten years we will see just malls and new buildings and no memories of the past.
