    • AMAZING WALKS IN WROCŁAW is the English version of the acclaimed guidebook \Spacerownik Wrocławski 2\ published by Agora last year. This guide presents the city through 10 thematic routes, encouraging active exploration of the capital of Lower Silesia. Authored by Beata Maciejewska, a local journalist known for promoting Wrocław's history in Gazeta Wyborcza, the book won first place in the Guide category at the XXIV National Review of Regional and Tourist Literature Tour Salon'2015. The English edition includes additional photos and descriptions of new tourist attractions. Wrocław is a city of adventure; it served as the backdrop for Steven Spielberg's Oscar-winning film, Bridge of Spies. Spielberg expressed his enjoyment of the city in the guest book of the trendy Monopol Hotel. Tom Hanks also praised Wrocław, particularly its seasonal Christmas market, expressing a desire to return. The city has a rich history, with Winston Churchill once concerned about his attire for a 1906 visit to observe German army maneuvers. Wrocław has captivated many, including Giacomo Casanova, who fell for a local beauty. Discover Wrocław’s charm and let your journey begin; it could lead to a lasting friendship or more.

      Wrocław, Poland's ghost town! From shadowy courtyards to bars and restaurants frequented by ghosts, a spine-chilling atmosphere permeates every corner of Wrocław, Poland's spookiest city. When the Red Army laid siege to Wrocław in 1945, the Nazi high command turned the city into a fortress, using the Gothic torture chambers under Partisan Hill as their headquarters. Screams are said to haunt the corridors, although the only ones I heard emanated from the blondes who now use the spot for clubbing. Instead, I got my ghoulish kicks in Abrams' Tower, a bar in a medieval fortification on the fringe of the old town with dim lighting and arty prints on the bare brick walls. Over wine, I chatted with the Californian owner, Frederick, an artist turned restaurateur. "I'm convinced this place is haunted," he said. "The ghost is known to the old regulars, back when this place was decorated with lots of antique sewing machines. One night all the pedals and wheels on the machines started whirring and spinning on their own." Just as he finished his sentence, a picture clinging to the wall thumped to the ground. Spooked? You bet.
