Meet your personal guide at the Market Square in Wrocław. Then take a walk with him to the passenger ship pier on the Odra River. The ship marina is located at Cathedral Island and is approximately 20-30 minutes away from the Market Square.
The guide will buy tickets for the cruise and you will board the small gondola "Gucio". A 50-minute cruise along the Oder canals around the Old Town awaits you.
The gondola is covered. There are wooden benches on the deck. There is no bar on board with drinks and snacks. We sit wherever there are free seats - next to the guide.
The cruise starts near Cathedral Island - first we admire the wonderful Gothic architecture of the cathedral island. In the distance you can see the mighty towers of the Wrocław Cathedral. We sail under the Peace Bridge next to the National Museum. At the Imperial Bridge we turn around and sail towards the Old Town. On the left you can see the Old Town Promenade and people relaxing in numerous cafes.
The guide talks about the monuments we pass. It also tells about ships on the Oder, in the past and today. About the life of people on the river. It's full of funny anecdotes and stories.
We enter the Old Town - we sail under the Sand Bridge and towards the University of Wrocław. You can see this beautiful building from afar! Next to it there is the mighty University Bridge and the "Marina" yacht marina. Here we turn back towards Cathedral Island. The guide tells about the last great flood in Wrocław in 1997. The entire city was flooded with a huge wave.
We sail past numerous restaurants on the waterfront. On request, you can disembark here and end the cruise to have a beer. We sail further - under the famous historic Lovers' Bridge (Tumski Bridge). It is one of the most beautiful bridges in Wrocław.
Finally, we reach the passenger ship marina in Cathedral Island. What a cruise it was! The guide says goodbye to the group... Ahoy! See you next time in Wrocław!
