The Tourist Attractions of Wroclaw:
Raclawice Panorama
The Raclawice Panorama is a large circular mural painting that you view while standing in the centre. It illustrates the Battle of Raclawice and is one of the main tourist attractions for Wroclaw. The Battle itself took place in 1794, and the painting was done to commemorate the 100th anniversary at the end of the 1800s. The Raclawice Panorama is on display at the National Museum.
Ostrow Tunksi
A small island in the Oder River, known in English as Cathedral Island, Ostrwo Tunski is dominated by the large twin spired neo-Gothic Cathedral of St. John the Baptist. Some of the current church was built in the mid 1200s, but there has been extensive reconstruction due to damage in World War II. The rest of the island is also very historic and a popular place to walk around. You can access the island from Wroclaw via several bridges and roadways.
National Museum
Located in a historic Renaissance 3-story building in Wroclaw, the National Museum collections focus mainly on artwork and cultural items. The Silesian collection is extensive but there are also numerous amazing contemporary pieces in another gallery as well.
