Europe / Poland

Counting down to Christmas in Wrocław, Poland

22 November 2016

Last Updated on 23 May 2025

Surprisingly pronounced “vrots-woff”—and, believe me, I only know this because I googled it before we came and it still doesn’t totally make sense to me where some of those sounds are coming from, but I’ve just accepted it—this adorable Polish town is definitely a trip highlight.

Of course, it doesn’t hurt that there’s a booming Christmas market in the main square, nor does it hurt that the weather is considerably better than it was while we were in Kraków. But it’s a lot more picturesque than our other stops in Poland (Kraków, Zakopane, obviously Oświęcim) and it looks like a town straight out of a fairytale.

So far in Europe, we’ve visited Christmas markets in Vienna and Budapest, and now we spend several days milling about a particularly large and festive one in Wrocław. There’s the usual kürtőskalács (spiral donuts) and lots of meat on kebabs and soup in bread bowls, plus some polish favourites like zapiekanka and pierogi and some sort of thin crust dough covered with French cream and pizza toppings that I didn’t catch the name of, but certainly ate a lot of.




Like the market in Vienna, all the hot drinks are served in themed market mugs that you pay a 10zł deposit for, so we keep one for our collection and enjoy multiple mulled wines (me) and hot chocolates (Callum) every day.

In between chocolate waffles and Christmas shopping, we climb the incredibly narrow spiral staircase up St. Elizabeth church for views of this colourful city. At 5zł (<$2) per person, it doesn’t get much cheaper than this. Poland is delightfully inexpensive, so we enjoy lots of market treats and filling traditional dinners out for around $10 each.

To add to the fairytale magic of Wrocław, Poland, the town has 200 miniature gnome statues scattered around, all unique and themed. We see the Wrocław philharmonic as gnomes, a gnome sleeping in a small bed, a gnome riding a pigeon, a gnome photographing an even smaller gnome… We have a great time hunting around for all these gnomes, successfully finding 42 in our 3 days there. Apparently the tourist information office sells a map with all the gnome locations, but that’s definitely cheating.








Both Kraków and Wrocław are small cities where walking is the best way to get around and even 2 hour buses don’t cost more than a few dollars, so we also save in that regard—nothing like the ridiculous price of train tickets in London, 25€ to go 1hr to Brighton!

We’ve spent more time in Poland now than in any other country on this trip (until we go to Iceland) and I can really say it’s a delightful, underrated destination! The people are so friendly, the cities are so compact that you can get lost without really getting lost, the prices are so low, and the food is so good! It’s a wonder more people don’t come here on their travels, but I think that also contributes to my positive impression. I hate tourist crowds; it’s always preferable to be surrounded by locals. And, of course, gnomes.

Hey, I'm Brooke and I'm obsessed with getting off the beaten path, exploring backcountry gems & travelling beyond the ordinary! I left Australia 5 years ago after finishing a PhD in Biomechanics & have been travelling the world full-time ever since (joined by my life/climbing partner, James). Whether it’s road-tripping through Mexico, climbing alpine peaks in the Andes, scuba diving in the Red Sea, or tackling epic via ferrata in the Dolomites, I hope this blog will inspire your future adventures & help you find wonder in every corner of the globe. xx bb

  • Planning a trip to Poland – brooke around town
    4 September 2017

    […] Definitely the most adorable fairytale town I’ve ever seen, I can’t recommend Wrocław highly enough as a sweet escape after many days of taking in important (but devastating) history lessons in one of the bigger cities. Walk around the Market Square, past the storybook-eque Town Hall and the dozens of colourful buildings; climb the St. Elizabeth Church’s tower via a narrow, spiral staircase and take in views over the whole town; wander through the beautiful Szczytnicki Park; and go gnome-spotting to see how many of the town’s 200 tiny gnome statues you can find!

  • DOHA, QATAR 🇶🇦✨

Without the flashy excess of the UAE & Saudi, Doha offers a more authentic slice of the Arabian Gulf, where culture & tradition meet striking modern architecture, world-class art, and a glittering skyline. 

We loved our time in Doha and would highly recommend as a quick stopover next time you’re flying through the Middle East!

WHAT TO SEE
⭐️ Souq Waqif: a buzzing market with spices, textiles & gold, perfect for getting lost + taking photos
⭐️ Museum of Islamic Art: one of the world’s most stunning Islamic art collections
⭐️ Dhow Harbour: traditional wooden boats bobbing in the water with Doha’s skyline behind (great for photography!)
⭐️ Mina District: neighbourhood with colourful pastel buildings & street art, best explored in golden light of late afternoon
⭐️ Fish Market: the most beautiful stained-glass ceiling I’ve ever seen, worth a quick walk through while exploring Mina!
⭐️ Qanat Quartier: a rainbow-hued “Little Venice” with canals, bridges & plenty of great restaurants 
⭐️ Katara Cultural Village: a great place to discover local culture 

HOW MANY DAYS?
we spent 4 days in Doha, but you can see most of the city’s highlights in 2-3 days 

GETTING AROUND
Uber is the best way to get across the city to visit some of the farther places of interest

  • Standing on the rim of one of the largest active volcanoes in the world, with smoke billowing out of the crater right behind us 🌋🔥

Mt Aso National Park is one of Japan’s coolest hiking spots, but still seriously underrated! With craggy lava fields, steaming vents & surreal views in every direction, you can hike right up to the rim of Nakadake Crater (when it’s safe!) and we had this spot completely to ourselves 💃🏻

One of the most surprising places we visited in the Middle East was Doha!

  • Pivoting away from all the Japan photos for a moment to share a sleeper hit from last year’s travels that didn’t make it onto the feed (because I’m perpetually behind on posting…) → Qatar!!

This small Middle Eastern country was never on my list, but while we were in the region for the 2nd half of last year, we decided to take advantage of the Qatar Airways stopover program (this isn’t sponsored, it’s just a really cool program 😅)

For no extra cost, we were able to build a 4-day stopover into our flights from Oman to Egypt, and we ended up having WAY more fun in Qatar than expected. You don’t need long to explore (you could cram most of the highlights into 2-3 days), but it’s guaranteed to impress!

I’ll share some of our favourite experiences from Doha tomorrow, but WOW, who knew!?

  • Cut by the bright turquoise Gokase River, this magical little gorge in central Kyushu is often called the most beautiful place in Japan— and we might just agree!! 🇯🇵🌸✨

📍 Takachiho Gorge, Miyazaki Prefecture

TIPS FOR VISITING:
- the site is open 8am-5pm
- entry is ¥1,000 per person + parking is available nearby
- reserve a row boat (30min) for ¥4,000 on weekdays or ¥5,000 on weeekends (boats do sell out!)
- the best light is after 10.30am, when sun hits the waterfall
- free paths run along both sides of the gorge, so you can enjoy great views even if you don’t hire a boat

👇🏻 If you’ve been to Japan, what’s the most beautiful place in your opinion? (tell me in the comments so I can save for our next Japan trip 😅)
  • things in Japan that just make sense: it’s gotta be the free footbaths, for me!! 

📍 Sakurajima Nagisa Foot Bath Park in Kagoshima, Japan

road-tripping through Kyushu on a rainy day in May, we pulled over at these baths near the active Sakurajima volcano and couldn’t believe the view. these are one of the longest footbaths in Japan, with more than 100m of naturally-heated water from deep underground, and amazingly it’s completely FREE to visit!

  • Welcome to the Beppu Hells 🔥

Beppu is one of Japan’s most famous onsen towns, known for its Hells (Jigoku), a collection of dramatic hot spring pools that are way too hot for bathing but incredible to look at!

There are 7 main “hells”, each with its own character:
- Umi Jigoku (Sea Hell): a steaming cobalt blue pool and a gorgeous foot bath (one of the only places the water is hot but safe)
- Oniishibozu Jigoku (Monk’s Head Hell): bubbling grey mud pools
- Shiraike Jigoku (White Pond Hell): milky turquoise pond surrounded by gardens
- Kamado Jigoku (Cooking Pot Hell): multi-coloured pools + steam vents, plus you can buy volcanic steam-cooked eggs and buns (believed to have health benefits, but also a super fun novelty snack)
- Oniyama Jigoku (Demon Mountain Hell): home to 70+ crocodiles (!)
- Chinoike Jigoku (Blood Pond Hell): deep red iron-rich pool
- Tatsumaki Jigoku (Spout Hell): powerful geyser erupting every 30–40min

TIPS FOR VISITING
💴 Entry: ¥2,200 for a combo ticket (all 7 hells)
⏱️ Timing: allow 2–3hrs to explore
🚗 Getting around: you can easily walk between the hells, but since it was raining, we drove our little hire car
☔️ When to visit: open year-round; fun even on rainy days!

  • postcards from magical little Miyajima 🌸✨

this island is located about an hour from Hiroshima & is a fantastic day trip— but even better as a relaxing overnighter. 

visit the iconic red Torii Gate, take the scenic ropeway to Mt Misen’s Peak, feed the free-roaming deer, sample the island’s many oyster treats, see the 5-story pagoda Taho-to, and cap it all off with a traditional stay at Kikunoya. slow-paced bliss ✨

Without the flashy excess of the UAE & Saudi, Doha offers a more authentic slice of the Arabian Gulf, where culture & tradition meet striking modern architecture, world-class art, and a glittering skyline. 

We loved our time in Doha and would highly recommend as a quick stopover next time you’re flying through the Middle East!

WHAT TO SEE
⭐️ Souq Waqif: a buzzing market with spices, textiles & gold, perfect for getting lost + taking photos
⭐️ Museum of Islamic Art: one of the world’s most stunning Islamic art collections
⭐️ Dhow Harbour: traditional wooden boats bobbing in the water with Doha’s skyline behind (great for photography!)
⭐️ Mina District: neighbourhood with colourful pastel buildings & street art, best explored in golden light of late afternoon
⭐️ Fish Market: the most beautiful stained-glass ceiling I’ve ever seen, worth a quick walk through while exploring Mina!
⭐️ Qanat Quartier: a rainbow-hued “Little Venice” with canals, bridges & plenty of great restaurants 
⭐️ Katara Cultural Village: a great place to discover local culture 

HOW MANY DAYS?
we spent 4 days in Doha, but you can see most of the city’s highlights in 2-3 days 

GETTING AROUND
Uber is the best way to get across the city to visit some of the farther places of interest

Standing on the rim of one of the largest active volcanoes in the world, with smoke billowing out of the crater right behind us 🌋🔥

Mt Aso National Park is one of Japan’s coolest hiking spots, but still seriously underrated! With craggy lava fields, steaming vents & surreal views in every direction, you can hike right up to the rim of Nakadake Crater (when it’s safe!) and we had this spot completely to ourselves 💃🏻

welcome to Qatar 🇶🇦✨ One of the most surprising places we visited in the Middle East was Doha! Without the flashy excess of the UAE & Saudi, Doha offers a more authentic slice of the Arabian Gulf, where culture & tradition meet striking modern architecture, and the city feels welcoming, approachable & surprisingly easy to explore. HOW MANY DAYS? we spent 4 days in Doha, but you can see most of the city’s highlights in 2-3 days GETTING AROUND Uber is the best way to get across the city to visit some of the farther places of interest PLACE FEATURED IN THIS VIDEO 📍Souq Waqif: a buzzing market with spices, textiles & gold, perfect for getting lost + taking photos 📍Museum of Islamic Art: one of the world’s most stunning Islamic art collections, in an iconic I.M. Pei-designed building 📍Dhow Harbour: traditional wooden boats bobbing in the water with Doha’s skyline behind (great for photography or a boat ride!) 📍Mina District: neighbourhood with colourful pastel buildings & street art, best explored in golden light of late afternoon 📍Fish Market: a lively (& very local) slice of daily life in the Mina District, with the most beautiful stained-glass ceiling I’ve ever seen! 📍Qanat Quartier: a quirky “Little Venice” with canals & bridges, plenty of great restaurants here 📍Katara Cultural Village: home to art galleries, amphitheatres & beachfront cafés . . . . #qatar #doha #qatarairways #arabiangulf #persiangulf #middleeast #visitQatar #DohaQatar

Pivoting away from all the Japan photos for a moment to share a sleeper hit from last year’s travels that didn’t make it onto the feed (because I’m perpetually behind on posting…) → Qatar!!

This small Middle Eastern country was never on my list, but while we were in the region for the 2nd half of last year, we decided to take advantage of the Qatar Airways stopover program (this isn’t sponsored, it’s just a really cool program 😅)

For no extra cost, we were able to build a 4-day stopover into our flights from Oman to Egypt, and we ended up having WAY more fun in Qatar than expected. You don’t need long to explore (you could cram most of the highlights into 2-3 days), but it’s guaranteed to impress!

I’ll share some of our favourite experiences from Doha tomorrow, but WOW, who knew!?
