Experience the Charm of Wroclaw, Poland, Wroclaw, Poland
Poland might not be a country that is on everyone’s bucket list, but after a recent visit, I’d say it needs to be! Wroclaw was absolute love at first sight. It’s full of wonderful surprises that instantly made me fall in love! It boasts one of the loveliest squares in Europe, adorablized by a voluminous number of gnomes scattered throughout the city and has some of the most delicious food! This budget-friendly town was 100% worth the visit!

It is a mouth full, but the ‘W’ is pronounced with a ‘V’ sound while the ‘C’ is pronounced with ‘TS’ sound.
