The Experience
Before You Go
Download the audio before you start
Mobile coverage in narrow streets and on islands can be spotty; download or cache the guide and quizzes ahead of time.
Wear sturdy shoes
Cobbled streets and uneven thresholds mean supportive footwear will make the 2.8 km much more comfortable.
Time it for early morning or late afternoon
Beat the busiest crowds at the market square and catch softer light on the cathedral and riverfront.
Carry a power bank
The tour relies on your phone for audio and quizzes, so carry a small charger to avoid interruptions.

Conservation Note
City initiatives focus on riverbank restoration and reducing traffic in the Old Town; stick to marked paths and avoid feeding wildlife to minimize human impact.
Wrocław changed hands multiple times over centuries and was heavily rebuilt after WWII; its preserved market buildings and Ostrów Tumski reflect both medieval roots and modern restoration.
