Here's Why Wrocław is One of the Best Travel Destinations in Poland - Especially at Christmas

[@Samkmusic1]

I am from Chicago, my wife was born in the Podlaskie region, my first time visiting Poland was in 2019 and we road tripped to a few cities including Wrocław. Neither of us knew anything about Wrocław before going. Since then, and traveling to many places in the world, it remains among my favorite places and I can’t wait to return one day.

[@454FatJack]

Breslau old name too

[@alisia8950]

Breslau is a German name of Wroclaw

[@profexor1551]

How much bad is the Air in winter there? Is the smell of burnt coal and plastics too unbearable? Ive heard many times that air quality in wroclaw in winter is horrible

[@piepo5002]

I love @Evazubeck videos. But I need to say that I like her even more as a presenter for a travel show!

[@TheBlaknBlu]

I worked on a movie in Wroclaw for 8 weeks several years ago. A beautiful place but even more than that, the people were warm, friendly and endlessly helpful - even when we closed streets and generally made a nuisance of ourselves.

[@dominikam.]

I live in Wrocław from 12 years, this is my husbands’ hometown. And as a Silesian girl from near to Katowice, i’m pround of living in this beautiful city now. Here are many possibilities for adult and children (i have 4), so we are not going to change our place on the world. Welcome in Wrocław again, Eva!

[@paullastnamehere3295]

Poland is a nice place. Would have to make a trip back there at some point. Thank you for showing Wroclaw. I might add this city to my list.

poland blocked Ukrainian borders. Ukraine doesn't get Western military and humanitarian aid for saving people. poland supports putins invasion to Ukraine.

I don't love poland because poles blocked Ukrainian borders and suffering Ukrainians do not receive humanitarian aid from EU

[@sbkpilot1]

My first visit to Poland was last year and I absolutely fell in love with the country. My favorite city is Gdansk with it's incredibly beautiful riverfront, but unfortunately I did not get a chance to visit Wroclaw and will most definitely put it on my list for next time 😀

I visited Poland earlier this year and loved all the cities/towns that I visited, but Wrocław was my favourite - so much to see and do, and such a beautiful setting on the water!

[@TheRealAgaBrady]

I used to live in Wrocław. It’s a lovely city, definitely worth a visit! Two of my favourite Polish cities ate Gdańsk and Wrocław. You can catch a Ryanair flight between them (at least in the summer) or get a train ticket for a still decently fast, comfortable train journey (EIP are the best, but IC ones are ok too).

[@johnnylangen2839]

[@lennartverhoeven]

@evazubeck nice to see you on DW Travel! My wife and I visited Wroclaw a few weeks ago. Looking at the amount of snow in the video, we were there when you were recording this video. It is really nice to see it again.

I love Wroclaw is was my mother’s home town before the war when it was called Breslau. Just love it❤

[@lilianapassuello]

Hi, Eva. I have to thank you so much because since I follow you I started to become braver. I really look up to you, your strenght make me feel that everyone should step forward and become more indipendent and let their dreams come true. I am almost 50, I have 3 sons but now I started thinking that my real life is at the beginning. I have studied english, I travel, I enjoy adventures and watching your adventures. You are amazing, an inspiration . I am going to Wroclow next weekend and I did not know you live there. When I checked on line some information I found out. I am so happy to go there where you live in. Thanks.

[@lilianapassuello]

I am Liliana from Italy

[@DWTravel]

Hi Liana, that's really impressive. It's great to hear that Eva's videos have left such a strong impression on you and have encouraged you to break new ground yourself. And for many people reading this, we're sure that what you write is also very inspiring. Thank you for telling us about your personal journey. Greetings to Italy or wherever you are right now

[@sunilpatel217]

Wooow, amazing city, oh so beautiful, and such old time traditions are still alive, it’s Amazing ❤

[@katyryan8522]

Visited Wroclaw a couple years ago for my son’s wedding and loved it! Can’t wait to go back soon since his in laws live there. After watching this, I think I’ll plan my next trip at Christmas - markets look amazing!

[@caspasesumo]

when two of my favorite creators collide (DW and Eva zu Beck) it has to be good, especially since I have visited Wroclaw several times and endorse that it's a lovely destination.

[@EpicTours.]

Wrocław is on my list to visit in Poland. I can't wait to try the dumplings there 😋 Thanks for the tour!

[@texicalisally4480]

My Greatparents were immigrants from Poland and we still have family in Worclaw area. I’m hoping by to see them next year! Thank you for this wonderful video showing us your hometown and the hometown of my cousins! Can’t wait to see it for myself! When do the Christmas markets start?

[@PacekBrudnyPlacek]

Not sure if the date is the same each year but it started on 24th November this year and will last till 7th January. Christmas markets in Poland are beautiful visually but they may be overrated in terms of food which is usually tourist-oriented. Sometimes it's better to visit restaurants located nearby, at the market square, to taste local foods than overpay for it while visiting Christmas stalls. Not saying that all food stalls are of poor quality, just mentioning it so that you can be aware.

[@jimberry123]

I love this city

[@jerzygolec4953]

Wrocław is my home town. I love it. Greetings from Down Under.

[@neilclarke7313]

Absolutely love the Hala Targowa!

[@armaghetton]

I lived in Wroclaw for almost 3 years as an expat with my family and it was a great experience. We still call the city as 'our second home' even though that we are living in another country right now. It was just easy for us to adapt and enjoy what this small city has to offer. This was mainly due to the city's long history, attractions and it's people. We still have ongoing friendships there and plan to visit the city as soon as possible. Thank you so much for this great video alongside with stunning views of beautiful city of Wroclaw. It surely brought back good memories :)

[@fjdarling]

Nice to see Eva, again. She's such a charmer. I'll probably never visit Wroclaw. Hell..., I don't think I'll ever be able to pronounce it.

[@Chaplain161]

Glad to see you back on the channel Eva.

[@richardhaney8295]

Oh, how I love Eva's eyes! The moment I saw them, they brought tears to my own! I already have the DW Travel playlist "Eva zu Beck: The World through her Eyes" queued up and ready to play in my leisure moments.

[@mikebaginy8731]

I visited Wrocław for a few days four years ago and found the city wonderful. Your video brought so many delightful memories. I 'm planning another visit next summer.

[@alphacause]

I have been a long time subscriber to Eva zu Beck's KZbin channel, and I must say it is a nice change of pace having her back on this channel doing segments where she explores various cultures again. Her KZbin channel used to do this often, but as of late, it has deviated from that theme to focus more on her personal journey and all the trials and joys she experiences living out of her vehicle. While I find that content interesting, it tends to be repetitive and, to be quite frank, a bit self-indulgent. It's nice to see her focus her talents on highlighting the splendor of humanity - with its vast array of histories and customs. I hope her channel also resumes its original content of bringing awareness of other regions around the world, and the unique people who occupy those regions.

[@MrDonJBerg]

I agree. Love Eva as she is easy on the eyes and ears... Good job DW

[@ronbeaubien]

My fear is that as Eva seems like she is more interested in settling down and buying a home these days, we will be less likely to see videos of her traveling the world.

[@alphacause]

@@ronbeaubien Setting down roots doesn't mean that Eva is giving up on what she does. One can own a home and still travel the world. Some of the best travel personalities own homes. Well before the Internet age, one of the best known travel hosts was Rick Steve. He had a family and a home, despite traveling abroad for much of the year. Eva's purchase of a house makes sense because, living out of a cramped vehicle, while exciting for a while, can get quite tiring. Having a comfortable place to settle down, between stints of travel, is something that any sensible person would do.

[@MrDonJBerg]

@@ronbeaubien Being disappointed in the prices in the states, I fear she will be disappointed with prices anywhere. Her only income is KZbin, Patreon and various acting jobs for the BBC and such. Unless she has 3-400K a bank will want to see a two year work pay slips to give her a loan..But she has been running for a long time now. Maybe she has gotten it out of her system and wants to settle down and who knows, quite KZbin and others in the future.

[@laracassar7568]

As eva has sayed she is not settling she is finding a base for a place to come home too but she will always be traveling after all it is Eva's nature to do so it's a passion like her grandfather was a world traveler that isn't something she would give up lightly and she won't be getting any average home base it will be somewhere off grid somewhere wild!

[@AdamSloan2]

I visited Wroclaw in September/October 2022 and really liked it. My visit was my first solo travel experience. I thought the architecture was stunning and the city has such a remarkable history. I visited Krakow on a separate visit six months later and must admit, I prefer the charm and character of Wroclaw despite the significance of Krakow. I understand that the two cities are similar, the smaller nature of Wroclaw suits my idea of a more relaxed city break.

[@harrisonandrew]

Wow, I used to work a lot in Wroclaw. I worked for the company who bought Pollena and we had a factory on ul Krakowska. I bloody love Wroclaw.

[@darrenstoddart8673]

Wroclaw was my first visit to Poland many years ago when I first set out on my epic adventure. It was incredible, I hope to return one day soon. Poland and its culture is beautiful, I did make the mistake of pronouncing it wrong until I learned W has a different sound.

Wrocław on summer is stunning and there is a lot to do, I especially love all activities on the river. Winter brings Christmas Market which is the biggest and most beautiful one in the country. I really had an impression that Wroclaw has more to offer in terms of diversity than any other polish City (including Kraków).

[@stukafaust]

Great to see the local reporter sneaking in that the lands were "returned to Poland" on the German state broadcaster 😎

[@henningbartels6245]

I find it a weird choice of words and highly debatable how the harsh break in the city's history after 1945 is soft washed.

[@stukafaust]

@@henningbartels6245 I was surprised to see this on DW of all places but she is technically correct, the lands were returned to Poland from whence originally ruled them before Czechs, Austrians, and Germans subsequently settled and conquered them. On the other hand it wasn’t Poland’s choice or initiative (they were as surprised as anybody else by the border changes arranged on their behalf post-WW2). It’s also worth remembering Breslau was a real Nazi stronghold. During the 1932 elections the Nazis received 44% of the city's vote, their third-highest total in all Germany. In other words maybe the expelled citizens had to pay the price for subsequent events particularly in relation to Poland and Poles. Today the German heritage is much more acknowledged and respected. Two museums, the main City Museum located in the former royal palace, as well as the Depot History Centre have large collections and permanent displays about the German-era and the fate that befell Germans here at the end of WW2. Many personal items, photos, and stories are collected and brilliantly exhibited.
