Multicultural Metropolis
Wroclaw is an excellent example of a multicultural metropolis situated at the interface of ethnically diverse areas. With its 800,000 inhabitants it's the 4th biggest city in Poland, one of the oldest and most picturesque ones. It is situated in the south-west part of the country and is considered as one of the most important economic, culture, science and sport areas. A wide educational offer of many universities and over 120,000 students have created an image of academic city. Long, interesting history, monuments and many other unforgettable places attract a big number of tourists every year. The specific character of Wroclaw's architecture has been commented on many occasions. Authors stress an original combination of material and spiritual factors, noting the existence of numerous religious institutions, monasteries, Gothic churches, and Baroque colleges side by side with commercial establishments (there were several dozen department stores and specialty shops in Wroclaw at the turn of the century) and other splendid, often pioneering examples of secular urban architecture. Good infrastructure and sport facilities have significant input in organisation of many sport events on high level. Furthermore lot of connections with big Polish and European cities offered by Wroclaw airport, well developed train and bus transportation, big number of hotels and restaurants make the arrival and stay in the city easier.
