Wroclaw Cathedral Island

Cathedral Island (Ostrow Tumski) is the oldest part of Wroclaw, an island of Gothic churches, cobblestone lanes, and the twin-towered Cathedral of St John the Baptist. Free to walk. The gaslight lamplighter still lights the street lamps by hand each evening. Budget travelers cross the bridge at dusk, watch the lamplighter work, enter the cathedral for free, and discover the most atmospheric corner of a city that surprises everyone who visits.
