Xawery Dunikowski Boulevard in Wrocław is a scenic promenade located on the southern bank of the Oder River, directly across from the historic Ostrów Tumski. Stretching from Piaskowy Bridge to Peace Bridge, it is one of the city's most elegant and inviting riverside walks, where urban charm meets historical beauty.
The boulevard is named after Xawery Dunikowski, a renowned Polish sculptor and professor whose work deeply influenced 20th-century Polish art. His name lends cultural weight to the site, making a stroll along the water feel like a quiet artistic encounter.
The area has undergone significant transformations over time. In the 19th century, it served as a harbor zone with mooring facilities and warehouses. Today’s boulevard emerged after a comprehensive redevelopment that introduced wide pedestrian and cycling paths, terraced steps descending to the water, landscaped greenery, and rest areas for visitors.
Now a favorite destination for locals and tourists alike, the boulevard is ideal for morning runs, sunset walks, and open-air events. Concerts, fairs, and city celebrations often take place here, and the view of Ostrów Tumski’s cathedral towers reflecting in the river at dusk is truly magical.
Xawery Dunikowski Boulevard is where Wrocław slows down — offering a space to breathe, to reflect, and to appreciate the harmonious blend of architecture, nature, and culture.
