12 13 ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY

Today’s Wrocław University of Science and Technology is the inheritor of the material legacy of the German Königliche Technische Hochschule Breslau and the intellectual and scientific legacy of Lviv University of Technology. The founders and first organisers of the Polish university were in fact scholars from Lviv – among others, the Rector of Lviv University of Technology – professor Edward Sucharda. The Royal High- er Technical School in Wrocław (Königliche Technische Hochschule Breslau) started its teaching activity on 1st October 1910. The need for founding such a university arose from the developing mining, processing, chemical, smelting and machine industries in the Silesian Province. The document which established Polish tertiary education entities in Wrocław after WWII was the Decree on the transformation of University of Wrocław and Wrocław University of Technology into Polish state academic schools. A single university was then established – University and University of Technology in Wrocław, with one common Rector, Senate and administration. The first Polish lecture at Wrocław University of Science and Technology was held by professor Kazimierz Idaszewski on 15th November 1945 and since then the day has been celebrated as a university holiday and Wrocław Science Day. From the very beginning of its existence, Wrocław University of Science and Technology has been an important centre of technical education. Today, it is one of the largest and best technical universities in Poland – over 24,000 students study here at 13 faculties in Wrocław and at the three branches in Legnica, Jelenia Góra and Wałbrzych under the guidance of over 2,000 academic teachers. In the first years of studies, in addition to core courses, the curricula of particular fields encompass also maths, physics and fundamentals of computer science, humanities and management subjects (students can choose from the fields of philosophy, sociology, law, political sciences, economics, management, etc.), foreign languages (at all levels of proficiency) as well as sports classes (a wide selection of sports, also for people with limited movement abilities). Every year, Wrocław University of Science and Technology ranks high in the nationwide university rankings.

12 13 In this year’s PERSPEKTYWY 2020 ranking of universities, Wrocław University of Science and Technology took 6th place in the overall classification of Polish universities and 3rd place among technical universities. Also, Wrocław University of Science and Technology’s campus has been included in the Top 15 world’s most beautiful university campuses – a ranking prepared by HuffPost (formerly: The Huffington Post), a prestigious news website, in cooperation with the Disney-Pixar animated films producer. The University’s academic life focuses in a closed area around the Main Build- ing, on both sides of the Odra river. Polinka – the University’s cable car service and a unique transportation solution of this kind in Poland – is a true student attraction. It connects the Main Campus and the GEOCENTRE – a complex of new buildings on the other side of the Odra river, erected with teaching and research purposes in mind. In the years 2014-2019 a total of 739 exclusive rights have been obtained at Wrocław University of Science and Technology (of which 384 active), including 654 patents (of which 5 international), 34 protective rights for utility models, 11 protective rights for trademarks, and 40 rights in the register of industrial designs (of which 1 international). Particularly noteworthy is the variety of fields in which creators from Wrocław University of Science and Technology applied, including some that aren’t usually associated with technical universities, such as: medicine, rehabilitation, agriculture. Recent years’ most spectacular inventions of our scientists include, for example, an anti-cancer drugs carrier, a microfluidic device for screening, antibodies specific for the Zika virus, a polymer composite for 3D printing, a preparation for plant growth stimulation or a radial fan impeller. Active cooperation between our scientists and representatives of renowned research institutes as well as Polish and foreign universities (in Belgium, Ireland, France, Taiwan) has resulted in numerous interesting and innovative solutions. There are also various research projects ran with business in mind, supporting the development of enterprises’ innovation capabilities.

14 15 Our researchers are regularly awarded prizes at invention exhibitions and competitions. In 2019 we won nine medals and four distinctions at the prestigious INTARG fair. The atmosphere at the University is conducive for generating innovative solutions by young scientists working individually under the supervision of their tutors or as part of their involvement in scientific circles, which has been recognised in subsequent editions of the Student Inventor competition. Thanks to Wrocław University of Science and Technology the city of Wrocław is considered the capital of Polish IT. This is partly due to European standards of teaching and partly to research conducted by the University’s employees. Their achievements are recognised not only in Poland, but also abroad. Wrocław University of Science and Technology gives students a choice between standard programmes and individual courses of study. Students may create their own specialisations. The university actively cooperates with numerous teaching and research institutions from nearly all over the world – from Europe to America. Thanks to partnership agreements, the students and researchers of Wrocław University of Science and Technol- ogy have the possibility to study abroad and participate in joint research projects. The University also takes part in many research and educational programmes, including: Erasmus+ KA103 (EU countries), Erasmus+ KA107 (partner countries), Student Exchange Programme, Double Degree Master Programme T.I.M.E. There are numerous student organisations and associations operating at Wrocław University of Science and Technology. That is where students have the opportunity to develop their scientific and creative passions. The profile of such activity is very diverse and depends solely on students’ imagination. Scientific research at a world-class level and excellent laboratory equipment have resulted in cooperation with many Polish and foreign companies, within which not only various joint research projects are conducted, but also students are given opportunities to complete trainee- and internships or prepare their diploma theses in branches of prestigious companies all over the world.

34 35 FIRST STEPS AT THE UNIVERSITY

The first few days in a new place may sometimes be challenging. Depending on the Fac- ulty, you will need to follow a slightly different path set out by its internal organisational rules. However, the main steps – from Internet registration to matriculation – are actually quite similar at all the Faculties. If you are a proud owner of the Wrocław University of Science and Technology calendar, it means you must have successfully gone through the admission process – and so, congratulations are in order! You must have already paid for your student ID card and electronic grade book, and if you were interested in dorm accommodation, you must have submitted the necessary application. So now, it is time for: 1. introduction Day. The date of this event is set by each Faculty individually, and it is always a perfect opportunity to meet new friends in a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. At the meeting you will receive your student ID card as well as a lot of information and advice on studying at the Faculty you have chosen. 2. training in Students’ Rights and Responsibilities. It is delivered by the Students’ Un- ion at every Faculty. During the training, members of the Students’ Union will tell you all about students’ rights, student organisations operating at the University and the Faculty, financial assistance available for students, important University dates, as well as the University’s savoir vivre. 3. fire and Safety Regulations Training. It is very important to participate in this training as without it, you will not become a fully-fledged student. The training is also necessary to ensure your safety in university labs and workshops. Since 2016, the training has been held online. 4. Matriculation. That is, the official beginning of the academic year. The ceremony is held on a different day and in a different place at each of the Faculties, but all students are required to dress formally. Once you are matriculated and you file a signed academic oath at the Dean’s Office of your Faculty, you officially become a student. Should you have any doubts or questions, you can always ask the Dean’s Office of your Faculty.

36 37 ECTS CREDITS

ECTS – European Credit Transfer System – (the so-called credit points or credits) – it is a system of clear and comparable grades and academic degrees that makes it possible to recognise diplomas in the European job market. Universal introduction of the system in Europe is one of the postulates of the Bologna Declarations of 19th June 1999. Each course (subject) at Wrocław University of Science and Technology is assigned a given number of ECTS credits. Every student has to plan their timetable for a given semester, in accordance with the curriculum, using compulsory courses and extra-curricular courses from a given block and supplementary courses (foreign languages, humanities and management courses, sport) to be able to collect ca. 30 ECTS credit points at the end of that semester. The significance of particular courses may vary for students of various subjects. Please remember that you cannot choose to sign up for foreign languages and sports classes only or have only 15 hours of classes per semester.

Required number of credits to obtain during the whole course of studies: Full-time studies: First degree (Bachelor of Science programmes) – 6 semesters – 180 ECTS credits First degree (Engineer programmes) – 7 semesters – 210 ECTS credits Second degree programmes – 3/4 semesters – 90/120 ECTS credits Part-time studies can last 1 or 2 semesters longer. Credits for courses define the student’s average: The amount of work necessary for a student to achieve particular learning outcomes, which encompasses participation in organised classes (lectures, tutorials, projects, labs and seminars) and consultations, preparation for and participation in tests and exams, analysing experiment results in labs, preparation of projects, etc. One ECTS credit corre- sponds to 25-30 hours of student’s work. Similarly, the effort necessary to prepare and draw up a diploma thesis is taken into account.

PLEASE NOTE When changing the field, degree or form of study (full-time/part-time), you should bear in mind that the number of recognised ECTS points will be determined by the Faculty Dean responsible for the new field, degree, or form of studies. At each Faculty, there is a limit of acceptable ECTS points deficit, i.e. the number of points below the required number that entitles one to being enrolled for the next semester. If you choose courses with low ECTS value that do not sum up to this number, the Dean may grant you permission to make up for the deficit in the following semester. ECTS credits are not a form of student assessment. Both a student who received excellent grades and one who hardly passed the same course receive the same number of ECTS points (grades, however, will be taken into account in the calculation of the average grade for the whole course of studies). ECTS credits are granted on condition that a student has passed a given course and has met all the requirements connected with it (e.g. passed the final exam at the end of a course). A student who has not met all the requirements does not receive these credits at all. Point value of a given course is always expressed by an integral number.

36 37 CENTRE FOR SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL INFORMATION

The Centre for Scientific and Technical Information (CWINT) is a University department that carries out scientific, research and training activity. It is composed of the Library, the Science and Economy Cooperation Centre, the Scientific and Research Laboratory Complex, and the Contact Point for Technology Transfer. In addition to collecting and making knowledge and research results available, the Centre’s operations focus on preparing specialist research and technical information, promoting the University’s scientific output and supporting cooperation between researchers and the business environment.

The Library of Wrocław University of Science and Technology is composed of the Traditional Library and the Electronic Library, which – along with themed libraries operating within them – form a library and information system that provides students, doctoral candidates, researchers and secondary school students with access to resources relating to basic sciences, engineering, technology, as well as to social sciences and humanities. Also, the library collections are not short of fiction, including literature in the form e-books and audiobooks available via the Legimi platform. The offer of the Library of Wrocław University of Science and Technology is addressed both to those at the Campus – in the Main Reading Room, the General Access Science Space or themed libraries, and those outside of the Campus – through remote access using the Proxy service. The Library also provides general and unlimited access to scientific, educational, cultural and regional collections of 22 institutions participating in the Lower Silesian Digital Library project (www.dbc.wroc.pl). The Library’s modern infrastructure, along with information solutions, allows for optimisation of access to electronic resources, making it as user-friendly as possible. The Library also offers free group and individual trainings on the use of electronic resources, copyrights, principles of scientific achievements evaluation and efficient searching and collecting scientific literature, also for term papers and diploma theses. Also, with the use of the DONA database, the Library disseminates information on the scientific output of Wrocław University of Science and Technology’s employees, students and doctoral candidates. While providing its basic services to the University society primarily, the Wrocław Uni- versity of Science and Technology Library also acts as a library for the entire scientific community of Wrocław, as well as a public library for all inhabitants of the city and the region.

Contact Point for Technology Transfer acts as the first link in the chain of cooperation between research and business environments. It coordinates the activity of Univer- sity departments in the area of technology transfer, with special focus on maintaining contacts between the research and business sectors. At the Point, students, doctoral candidates and researchers can submit their research results and discuss the best way to commercialise them. Results, concepts and prototypes are most often created as part of the University’s fundamental activity, but also as part of student

38 39 projects or science circles’ activity. After a given result is submitted, the Point com- mences the process of transferring it to the business sector, and the authors receive due remuneration from its sale.

Science and Economy Cooperation Centre represents the University in the industry and supports building its image of an attractive business partner. The Centre’s objective is to look for opportunities to commercially implement the research outcomes generated by the University’s researchers. For this purpose, a special website has been established (www.biznes.pwr.edu.pl) that contains databases presenting the available expertise, modern technologies and research infrastructure. The Centre provides comprehensive services related to all forms of cooperation with Wrocław University of Science and Technology, taking into account the needs of enterprises wishing to increase their competitiveness. By providing professional support to scientists undertaking cooperation with the business sector, seeking business partners, organising industry sector meetings, as well as providing patent services, the Centre supports the innovative character of the research carried out at the University. The Centre also has its Regional Point of Patent Information, belonging to the European PaTLiB, network, which provides counselling services regarding intellectual property and its commercialisation in the business sector.

Scientific and Research Laboratory Complex, which is a part of the Centre for Sci- entific and Technical Information, is a response to the demand in the science and business environments for innovative solutions. The laboratories’ activity focuses on basic and application research as well as on research services in the area of innovative multimedia and information and communication technologies (ICT), which constitute priority fields of study in both Poland and Europe. The key areas of the laboratories’ activity include research into the collection, storage, processing, and secure and ergonomic sharing of data, information and knowledge in the digital form; optimal use of multimedia in e-learning; development of multimedia services and visualisation, as well as applications for the Knowledge Repository and inter- laboratory cooperation aimed at innovative projects. Part of the laboratories’ activity is also raising funds, both domestically and using the European Union sources, to conduct research and development work, and the delivery of commercial services to external entities.

40 41 STUDENT LOAN

The regulations on granting student loans in the academic year 2020/2021 are presented below. The information regarding the regulations is also available at www.gov.pl/web/nauka/kredyty-studenckie. Who can apply for a student loan? All students below the age of 30, regardless of university type and form of studies. Doctoral candidates who started their studies before the academic year 2019/2020 can apply until the end of their studies (i.e. until 2023). Loans can also be granted to students of Doctoral Schools. Candidates can also apply, but in order to sign the loan agreement they have to confirm at the bank their student or PhD student status. Students with low per capita income in their families have priority. In the academic year 2020/2021, per capita income in the family that entitles the student to receive a student loan amounts to PLN 3,000. What is the loan period? Student loan is granted for the period of studies, but for not longer than six years (and in the case of PhD studies – four years). A student loan is paid out in ten monthly instalments per academic year. When is a loan paid back? The repayment of a student loan starts two years after graduation or after the date that the student should have completed their studies according to the last confirma- tion of studies certificate – whichever comes first. The number of instalments due is two times the number of the received instalments. In the loan receiving period and during the two-year grace period, the interest rates are paid by the state. In the period when the interest rates are paid by the borrower, the rate is calculated as half the current NBP bill rediscount rate. A borrower may apply for a reduction of the loan instalment to 20% of the borrower’s monthly income. What about a guarantee? A loan has to be secured, which is why banks require a bank guarantee. The guarantor may be a family member or a friend. In the case when they cannot meet the bank’s requirements, the guarantee may also be given by Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego; Students from rural areas may apply for the guarantee of the Agriculture Restructur- ing and Modernisation Agency (Agencja Restrukturyzacji i Modernizacji Rolnictwa) – the guarantee amount is between 80 to 100% of the loan amount. Can loan repayment be suspended? Should the borrower find themselves in a difficult financial condition, they may apply to the bank for a suspension of the repayment of the loan and interest rates for a period no longer than 12 months. When can a loan be remitted? The loan is amortised: 1) in 50% for borrowers that complete their studies in the group of up to 1% of the best graduates*, 2) in 35% for borrowers that complete their studies in the group of 1.01% to 5% of the best graduates*,

42 43 3) in 20% for borrowers that completed their studies in the group of 5.01% to 10% best graduates*. *graduates of Wrocław University of Science and Technology in the given academic year In special cases, such as serious illness or accident that makes the person unfit for work, the loan may be fully or partially remitted. Student loan applications can be filed at any moment during studies or PhD studies in one of the following banks: Bank Pekao SA, PKO Bank Polski SA, Bank Polskiej Spółdzielczości SA www.bankbps.pl (including affiliated cooperative banks), SGB Bank SA www.sgbbank.com.pl (including affiliated cooperative banks). FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

The rules of granting financial assistance to students of Wrocław University of Science and Technology are specified in the Rules and Regulations of financial assistance for students and PhD candidates effective from the academic year 2019/2020. Current information and the Rules and Regulations of financial assistance for students and PhD candidates are available at www.prs.pwr.edu.pl. Under the programme of financial assistance, a student of Wrocław University of Science and Technology may apply for the following benefits:

Maintenance grants are for students in a difficult financial situation; in such cases, an average monthly per capita income in the family in the last calendar year, which may not exceed PLN 1,000 PLN net, is taken into account. In special cases, a student may receive an increased maintenance grant; Special grants for the disabled can be granted on the basis of a valid disability stat- ement issued by a relevant institution; it does not depend on the student’s financial status or type of study programme; Rector’s scholarship for top students can be obtained by a student who has high grade average or can boast some scientific, artistic or sports achievements in national or international competitions; Allowance is a temporary type of financial assistance granted not more than twi- ce per academic year to students who found themselves in a temporary difficult financial situation. Additionally, best students and graduates of Wrocław University of Science and Technol- ogy may count on scholarships granted by the Deans of their Faculties or companies and institutions cooperating with the University. Also, since 2008, the Wrocław municipal authorities have been funding scholarships under the Student Scholarship Programme.

MEDICAL CARE

Medical care offered by the National Health Fund is free of charge for people who have a valid proof of insurance payment, which in the case of students is: Student ID card if you are under 26 (insurance contributions are paid by parents) Student ID card and a proof of payment of insurance contributions by the student or the university if you are 26 or older. On the website of the Wrocław Division of the National Health Fund (www.nfz-wroclaw.pl) you can find a list of medical institutions that signed a contract with the National Health Fund for the provision of health services. Pursuant to the Act of 27 August 2004 on health care services financed from public funds (Official Journal of Laws No. 210, item 2135, as amended), all students are required to have appropriate health insurance. These regulations clearly specify the order of institutions obliged to make a health insurance application.

Institutions obliged to make a health insurance application for a student: 1. If a student has a full-time employment contract, the employer is obliged to make a health insurance application. 2. If a student is self-employed, they have to make the application themselves. 3. The Student’s parents are third in the order of persons obliged to make a health insurance application for a student. This is the case when the student does not have a job yet, is not self-employed and is under the age of 26. Pursuant to the Health Insurance Act, every student, including PhD students, can no longer be registered for health insurance by their parents after they turn 26. 4. A student who is at least 26 years old or is not legible to be registered for health insurance by any other institution or person is registered by the university they attend. However, students have to apply to the university for health insurance registration. Registration is made after matriculation and after the student files a declaration stat- ing that they are not registered for health insurance by any other institution or person (e.g. under full- or part-time employment contract or by the spouse).

This applies to all types of universities and forms of studies, i.e. also private universities, part-time studies, etc.

44 45 During the study cycle you can also buy additional private insurance, e.g. personal accident insurance; however, such insurance does not exempt anyone from the duty to register for state health insurance. More on the topic at: www.nfz-wroclaw.pl

ASSISTANCE FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES

Wrocław University of Science and Technology is an institution that is open and friendly to people with disabilities undertaking the challenge of higher education. The Universi- ty’s Statute determines creating favourable conditions for the disabled to enable them to participate in the education process and research activity as one of its primary tasks. This is implemented, for example, by adopting particular policies in the Study Regu- lations, providing services dedicated to this group of students (education assistants, appropriately adapted learning material, preferences in administration procedures and priority in enrolment for optional courses). Students with disabilities may count on appropriately adapted dorm rooms, technological equipment facilitating learning, special social benefits, and in difficult cases – professional psychological help, among other things. It is with special-needs students in mind that the computer integration workroom (room 004) and the laboratory of information technology for the blind and visually impaired (room 005) have been set up in the D-21 building. Additionally, for a few years now, specialist foreign language courses have been organised at the facility. Worth mentioning is the SKOK initiative – a students’ club established by the University’s students with disabilities (www.skok.pwr.edu.pl). In 2019, Wrocław University of Science and Technology received significant financial assistance under the “Accessible University” EU programme. In the next few years, these funds will be used to implement the “Politechnika Nowych Szans” [University of New Opportunities] project, the aim of which is to create a real “university without barriers.” For more information on the services offered by the University to students with disabilities please contact the Autonomous Section for the Support of People with Disabilities:

In recent years, Wrocław has been successfully implementing the idea of a bike-friendly city. Currently, the city can boast having over 200 km of cycling paths altogether. It should be mentioned that cycling paths in Wrocław are a part of marked, international cycling routes. For example, the EuroVelo route – also known as the Amber Route – stretches across Poland, going all the way from Gdańsk in the north to Pula (Croatia) in the south. The Cycling Trail of Odra, which goes through Wrocław, is a 1,064 km route along the Odra River. It cuts through four Polish Regions (Silesia, Opole, Lower Silesia, Lubusz), from Chałupki on the Polish-Czech border to Kostrzyn on the Odra River. The capital of Lower Silesia also has a bike rental system. There are over 200 pick-up / drop-off stations all over the city. In 2020, there were more than 2,000 bikes available for use within the system. Detailed information on bike rental and a map of pick-up / drop-off stations can be found at: www.wroclawskirower.pl.

188 189 Wrocław

Wrocław is the best choice if you are looking for a place to study. The city’s great atmosphere, large job market, academic staff, rich cultural and entertainment offer that meets students’ needs – all this speaks in favour of Wrocław. Apart from theatres, museums, and numerous galleries, the city also hosts many cyclical events you can pick and choose in. Every July there is the prestigious “Nowe Horyzonty” Inter- national Film Festival, during which the latest film productions, among other things, are presented along with retrospectives of selected film directors. It is also worth going to Przegląd Piosenki Aktorskiej (Stage Song Review), which is held in May. In September, Music lovers can participate in a true feast for the soul – and for the ear – the “Wratislavia Cantans” festival. Jazz fans will surely find pleasure in listen- ing to the performances of world-class jazz stars during the “Jazz nad Odrą” festival, while theatre enthusiasts should make sure to find time in October for the “Dialog” International Theatre Festival. All the above-mentioned events are merely examples of what Wrocław has to offer. More than 1,000 restaurants, clubs and bars have become a permanent fixture of the city’s landscape, and many of them have already gained a cult status – Szajba or Mleczarnia, for example. You can create your own map of the best places in Wrocław and plan your academic schedule in a way that will allow you to take part in events you are interested in. To do that, visit our Facebook profile at www.facebook.com/ politechnika as you might find it very useful. Among our liked profiles, you will find, for example, links to websites of Wrocław University of Science and Technology’s organisations and scientific circles, which regularly post information regarding the events they organise. Information on Wrocław and the events taking place around the city can be found at: www.wroclaw.pl and www.pik.wroclaw.pl.

The ZOO 1-5 Wróblewskiego St., 51-618 Wrocław, phone: 71 348 30 24 - www.zoo.wroclaw.pl Established in 1865, the Wrocław ZOO offers not only a pick into the life of exotic animal species, but also interesting architecture. The ZOO features various buildings interesting from an architectural standpoint, for example: the famous elephants’ house – an excellent example of classicist garden architecture; the terrarium (previously a res- taurant), whose form is modelled on the architecture of holiday resorts; or the “bears’ stronghold” – a building that draws on the architectural design of gothic castles. The ZOO has the largest collection of animals in Poland. This is where, for the first time in history, tapirs were born in a zoological garden and where you can admire seals in and out of water in a marine seal aquarium built specially for them. The Wrocław ZOO has about 12,000 animals, representing over 1,100 species from all over the world. Opened in 2014, the ZOO’s Africarium is the first aquarium in Poland where you can admire the African fauna and flora. Unique on a European scale, the facility is devoted to the various aquatic ecosystems of the Black Continent. Africarium is the largest building in the Wrocław ZOO complex, and undoubtedly – its greatest attraction. Thanks to it, for the last four years the Wrocław ZOO has been ranked as the largest tourist attraction in Poland by the Polish Touring Organisation. It is the first facility of this kind in Poland, and the only one in the world that presents the fauna of one particular continent. It takes up almost 1.5 ha and has 21 pools and aquaria inhabited by ca. 5,000 animals, representing almost 300 species – mainly fish, but also hippopotamuses, penguins, crocodiles, naked mole-rats, aardvarks, and birds. The visitor’s path is almost 1 km long and has six sections, each representing a different region of Africa, with both nature and architecture modelled on the original.

Botanical Gardens Open daily from 1 April to 31 October (including on holidays) 23 Sienkiewicza St., 50-335 Wrocław, phone: 71 322 59 57 The gardens are located in the oldest part of the city – in Ostrów Tumski. Established as a part of Wrocław University in 1811, they are some of the oldest gardens in Poland. They overwhelm visitors with the endless variety of plants changing along with seasons of the year. In summer, it is worth going to one of the classical music or guitar music concerts regularly held in the gardens.

Japanese Gardens Open daily from 1 April to 31 October (including on holidays) from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM 1 Mickiewicza St., 51-618 Wrocław, phone: 71 323 50 00 Located in the Szczytnicki Park, Japanese Gardens were created for the World Exhibition as an element of Garden Art Exhibition in 1913. Unfortunately, after the exhibition most of the elements contributing to their oriental character were removed. Only between 1996-1997, under the direction of Japanese specialists in the art of garden design, were the gardens restored. Their current form reflects the original Japanese garden art. . 192 193 GARDENS AND PARKS

Old Town Promenade The Old Town Promenade is a green strip extending along the city moat and the Odra River and surrounding the Old Town. It is one of the oldest parks in the city. In the vicinity of the Promenade there are such sights as the National Forum of Music, the Puppets Theatre, the National Museum, old bastions – Wzgórze Polskie and Wzgórze Partyzantów, and the Opera House.

Szczytnicki Park The Szczytnicki Park is one of the first English-style parks in Europe. Located in the eastern part of the city, between the old Odra River and Wróblewskiego, Kopernika, Mickiewicza, Paderewskiego and Różyckiego streets, the park attracts Wrocław’s inhabitants with its lovely rhododendron and azalea groves.

Południowy Park The Południowy Park – stretching between Powstańców Śląskich and Sudecka streets – is a perfect place for walks and recreation. In the middle of this English-style park there is a terrace with a beautiful view and an artificial pond. It has more than 15 tree types, including such exotic species as catalpa or taxodium. Since 2004, the park features a statue of Frederic Chopin, designed by Jan Kucz, a professor of the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts.

Zachodni Park Stretching on an area of about 75 ha, the park joins the Kozanów and Popowice city districts. Thanks to the playgrounds and a sports field located in the park, it has gained a sports and recreational nature. However, it is worth taking a longer walk there to see a figure of an angel near the church in Pilczycka St. or the beautiful ivy covering the walls of the old Jewish cemetery.

Wrocław Fountain and Centennial Hall The Centennial Hall is a modernistic exhibition hall. It has been included in UNESCO World Heritage List (under its former name: People’s Hall). It neighbours the Four

194 195 Domes Pavilion and the historical Pergola, where you can enjoy some shade on hot summer days. Next to the Centennial Hall you will find one of the largest and most spectacular fountains in Europe. Hundreds of water streams form a screen for laser animation shows. During these water, light and music performances, the Wrocław Fountain turns into a water theatre. In winter, the fountain turns into yet another attraction – an ice rink of about 4,700 m2. It is located near Wystawowa and Mick- iewicza streets. www.halastulecia.pl www.wroclawskafontanna.pl

Panorama Racławicka 11 Purkyniego St., 50-155 Wrocław It is one of very few places in the world where you can admire a relic of the 19th century mass culture. It is a large painting (15x114m) combining various artistic (special perspective) and technical means (lighting, artificial ground, darkness, a winding path). The painting, authored by a team of painters under the guidance of Jan Styka and Wojciech Kossak, presents the famous Battle of Racławice, fought on 4 April 1794. www.panoramaraclawicka.pl

Rope Park on the Opatowicka Island (Adventure Island) It is a complex of bridges, footbridges, and nets hanging between trees and connected with steel ropes, spanning over 1,007 metres. There are seven routes (Marmot, Monkey, Mouse, Squirrel, Woodpecker, Gorilla, Panther), which differ in the level of difficulty, length and the height of particular attractions – of which there are close to 100.

Gondola Bay The pier located between the National Museum and Wzgórze Polskie is all that re- mained from the city moat mouth. There is a rental point with kayaks, dinghies and motor boats. The bay draws on pre-war traditions of active recreation – before the war, water equipment was rented in the same place. 9 Purkyniego St., phone: 71 737 180 888
