In a city of churches and cathedrals it stands out, but is not as imposing as other European cathedrals.

Take the elevator to the top for amazing views! The monumental building and the close surroundings are also very very nice!

Not known to all, you can actually take a lift to the very top of the left spire. The entrance is in the left side of the building. The view is amazing offering a view of the river, the island, the nearby botanical garden and church areas - as the whole city in general. Fantastic spot!

Try walking up to the top. The view is amazing. Inside the old hand painted ceilings and gothic architecture ad a sense of drama to a building that has seen centuries of life and prayer

As all the churches in Wroclaw- impressive from outside but very ordinary from inside. However, nice place to visit, allow about an hour.

Amazing architecture and a feel of real mediaeval europe. You don't have to be a Catholic to wander around and be aware that you are somewhere special. Just be sensitive to the fact that this is a working church and it's insensitive to gatecrash a wedding or emotional mass.

Every time I visit Wroclaw I come here. The church is beautiful, but that is not why I go. You can go up on one of the towers and have the whole view of Wroclaw. Its spectacular. This is not wheelchair accessible and not recommended for people who cannot climb lots of stairs or are claustrophobic. The enclosed spiral staircase... More
