What's in Wroclaw?

Wroclaw (Vrohts-wahf) wasn't on our radar, in fact we had to google it before our interview so we knew where the school was. Warsaw, Prague, Vienna, they were on our radar because they're much more well known cities in Europe. 

Wroclaw is situated in the south west of Poland, very near the borders of both Germany and the Czech Republic. Here are some of the specs:

Population - 650,000 people - making it the 4th larges city in Poland (oddly, this will be a nice small feel for us as Doha has over two times as many people).

Language - Polish (but from what we read, English is fairly common)

University Town - Wroclaw boasts 13 major universities with over 150,000 students! I guess we'll be right at home.

City of Rivers - Wroclaw is home to the Odra River and several minor rivers as well. It is the city of 100 bridges (Actually with all bridges including: river, canal and footbridges there are around 220! - I wonder if we'll find them all..). Due to all the rivers, the city also has a dozen islands.  

We are very much looking forward to exploring this beautiful place!

Welcoming visitors any time!!

Tumski Bridge - love locks
Pretty sure we're going to have to visit this bridge right away and lock our love in Wroclaw.

Climate - The climate is very close to what we were used to in the midwest (Michigan/Indiana), but it's the warmest city in Poland, which Adam will appreciate! It's a HUGE change for us after living in the Middle East, but we're looking forward to a climate change for sure.

What other questions do you have about Wroclaw and or Poland? If you have questions, I'm sure we do too and we will try to answer them in a future post.
