Wroclaw, city of dwarfs

Hello, dears! I have had a hectic period of time, relocating to a different country, new job, new people and slowly, slowly making new friends, as well. So that is why I decided to share with you some photos of the city I am now living in - Wroclaw. Being the 4th largest city in Poland, Wroclaw will soon captivate you and make you love every narrow street of the its old city center or new skyscrapers dominating the view. Whether you arrive here to study one Erasmus semester, work or visit, I am sure you will find plenty of wonderful attractions for everyone's taste. There are parks, gardens, islands, shopping centers, cathedrals, amazing bridges and buildings, great cuisine and thrilling pubs and night life :) 
What surprised me the first time I came here, was the multitude of small statues representing dwarfs - they are everywhere, from city center, next to churches, to bars and casinos. As I later found out they represent a symbol of the Orange Movement from 1980s and now they are literally everywhere :) 
One of the best things about Wroclaw is the geographical proximity to other important cities in EU and a wide range of flights, buses, trains which make possible to reach it fast and easily. If you are looking for cultural events - here is the place: almost every week there is something new to see - theater, movies, open-air cinema, concerts and festivals. I included some photos of my favorite cinema in Wroclaw - DCF. 
Hope I managed to raise you curiosity. Enjoy the photos and c u soon. Kisses,

And of course some dwarfs - they were next to a casino :)
