The city is quickly enhancing its already
solid reputation as a party town and easily has enough pubs and clubs
to cater for a city twice its size. This is a place revelling in its status as a boom
town on the frontiers of New Europe, and that those with a share in the
wealth seem as keen as any to "liquidize their assets" at the nearest
watering-hole. On top of these hard-working professionals, for two
thirds of the year Wroclaw is home to over 130,000 freeloaders, we mean students, and you don't need to be Einstein to calculate the net result of so many idle youngsters living in a place with so many bars!
In fact having fun is such an important part of the mentality here in Wroclaw that even the beautifully-restored Market Place
(or "Rynek") seems at times less of a important cultural centre and
more of an enormous shrine to drinking - particularly in summer when the
lure of an afternoon beer in the sun has waylaid many a local and
tourist alike from whatever it is they were supposed to be doing. But
then who can blame them - there are few better places in the world to
soak up some atmosphere and indulge in a bit of people-watching! You
might try Casa de la Musica, Bernard Pub, or Pod Papugami
