The Market Square - is the cultural heart of the city. Various events, concerts take place here. It is a venue where the citizens themselves arrange their meetings. In the middle, there is one of the most beautiful Polish town halls erected at the end of the 14th century and the beginning of the 15th century.

The Hansel and Gretel Houses - buildings characteristic for the old town. In comparison to buildings around, they appear to be very small. At the back of one of them, a work of art by the Polish artist Get-Stankiewicz under the title of "Zrób to sam" (“Do It Yourself”) may be seen, whereas in the other one you may sit over a cup of tea in the teashop.

Butchery (Jatki) - not far away from the market square, you can find a side street full of shops, galleries, visual artists’ ateliers. The Monument to the Slaughter Animals, reminds of its bloody past.

The Centennial Hall - gigantic and, at the same time, one of the first reinforced concrete structures in the world. Erected in 1913, on the centenary of the Battle of Nations in Leipzig. Concerts, sport events, and fairs take place inside it. In front of the Hall, there is a 96 metres high spire (“Iglica”) – a symbol of the rebuilding of the Western Territories.

The University building and Leopoldin’s Hall - in 1702, emperor Leopold I, funded a building acknowledged now a pearl of baroque.
Leopoldin’s Hall – covered with colourful paintings and gliding, located on the first floor, is very impressive. It is also worth visiting the Music Hall and the library of the Institute of Geography.
