You step out of the tram into cobblestones that still remember market cries and the thud of wartime boots. The Old Town Hall looms ahead, its Gothic face studded with carved faces and sly jokes; bronze dwarfs peek from alleys like a local scavenger hunt. Follow the audio guide on your own clock and the city opens in measured chapters: a salt market turned flower bazaar, the tiny arch linking mismatched medieval houses, and the river’s current nudging you toward cathedral spires on Ostrów Tumski.
