Wroclaw Market Square (Rynek of Wrocaw)

The Market Square (Polish: Rynek, German: Großer Ring) is a medieval market square located in Wrocław, Poland.

Wroclaw is generally considered a safe city, both during the day and at night. Like many European cities, petty crime such as pickpocketing can happen, particularly in crowded tourist areas, but violent crime is relatively rare.

While the city was largely Polish, it also had communities of Bohemians (Czechs), Germans, Walloons and Jews. In the 13th century, Wrocław was the political centre of the divided Polish kingdom.

Wroclaw is pronounced VROTS-waff (-v as in vet, -ts as in bits, -w as in wit, -f as in fit) in Polish and English, although as with Krakow, there is more than one possible pronunciation in use more generally among English speakers, including VROTS-laav, VROTS-lav, VROTS-laaf, VROTS-laff and VROTS-waaf.
