| Wrocław is called "Venice of the North" or the "Polish Venice" because of its over hundred bridges and canals. The city fascinated me. It was like a fairyland. |

| The bridge leads to the island called Ostrów Tumski where is the oldest part of Wrocław. |
|
Soon after crossing the bridge, I reached the gigantic Gothic tower. It is the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, the symbol of Wrocław. |
|
|
| The top of the tower commands a great 360 degree view of the city of Wrocław. It was early evening when I was up there, so the city and the Odra were glittering from the reflection of the sun. |
