At the time of writing this travel guide there are more than 400 dwarfs all over Wroclaw. By the time you discover this destination there will probably be 500 or 600! Find the Wroclaw dwarfs with your children and tell them about the reasons why they are in the city. This story is recent: bronze dwarfs  were born  in 2001 in Wroclaw. 

There is an anti-communist protest behind the dwarfs in Wroclaw; it is called the "Alternative Orange" movement ; it is a humourous way of protesting against communism.

The first dwarf was displayed in Swidnicka Street, where the anti-communist movement used to gather. Since then many different dwarfs have appeared; some of them are displayed in front of shops: they represent traders such as butchers, fishmongers, hotels and restaurant managers, others are represented on wheelchairs to raise awareness on disabilities. Want to discover them all? Visit the tourist office: there are many interesting brochures about what to know about them and where to find them all.

Penitent Bridge

The Penitent Bridge (Mostek Pokutnic) is a footbridge between the two towers of Mary Magdalene church at the height of 45 metres. According to the legend, one could see the ghosts of young women, who, instead of taking care of their homes and children, preferred to party with men. As a penitence, they had to cross the bridge between the towers.

The basin of Pergola has 300 water jets, which create geysers, water mists, spurts and many other shapes. The water installation is synchronised with 800 lights - light, water and music together create spectacular shows.

Jatki

Wroclaw, with its many vegan friendly bars and restaurants, is really a perfect destination for animal advocates. Where else in Europe would you find a place dedicated to the memory of animals? Jatki was formerly a street lined up with butchers’.  You can still see the channel where the blood of animals slaughtered for their meat flowed.

To atone for this past, Polish artists have installed the bronze statue of a pig, a goose, a goat and a rabbit in honour of the million animals  who died there since the middle ages.
