Poland is always a good idea, but if you’re into architecture, head to Wroclaw! The 2016 European Capital of Culture is a wonderful blend of styles:during a half-hour walk you’ll go from the late-Gothic Old City Hall (Ratusz) in the Market Square (Rynek) to Baroque churches or the Classicist style Opera house. Here and there, the glass facades of the modern buildings remind us that Wroclaw is a forever young city, always evolving, always inviting…
