Experience in Wroclaw, Poland by Reesha

What is it like to live in Wroclaw? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?

Wroclaw comprises of a beautiful mix of people (students) from around the world. The city, in my experience, almost immediately welcomes you with open arms. The people, specially the younger generation are very helpful towards foreigners including students who come from other countries. Wroclaw is a classic amalgamation of culture and modernity comprising of intricate/splendid architectural buildings and monuments along with modern structures both of which coexist aesthetically. I would definitely recommend Wroclaw to those who wish to travel to Poland. The pulse of the city is lively and vibrant, and yet at peace..it is difficult to explain what Wroclaw is like in words.. one has to visit the city to truly enjoy it!
