Ich war noch nie in der damaligen Stadt Breslau gewesen... In einen alten Buch, fand ich im März 2023, eine Post-Karte mit der Ansicht der Dom Insel. Was damals Breslau hieß, ist heute die Polnische Stadt Wroclaw...so habe ich es heute im Jahre 2023 in Erfahrung gebracht... Diese alte Ansichts-Karte sollte nicht in Vergessenheit geraten, deshalb habe ich, ohne jemals dort gewesen zu sein, eine Collage dieser schönen Ansicht auf die Dom-Insel erstellt. Alles was ich in Erfahrung gebracht habe, soll die Dom-Insel immer noch sehr sehenswert sein... Ich musste bei der Bewertung, ein Datum angeben, und wer mit mir dabei war. Wie ich schon berichtet habe war ich nie dort gewesen. Aber die alte Post-Karte ist sehenswert...Highly recommend, Anna was informative and made history so fun. Her interesting and funny stories about this enchanting area was delightful and the time just flew by. Next time will take a longer tour.

Die Dominsel ist einfach wunderschön. Beeindruckende Bauwerke. Schon der Gang über die Brücke, mit den schönen Gaslaternen ist ein Erlebnis. Auch hier kann man Zwerge entdecken 😉. Leider hapert es an der Gastronomie. Wurden nicht bedient, obwohl wir 1 Stunde am Tisch warteten und der Andrang gar nicht mal so groß war. Schade, deshalb nur 4 Punkte.To my surprise I had a private tour with Anna as my guide. The tour was very informative and Anna had an answer to all my questions. I can really recommend booking here.
