Best Burgers in Wrocław: Rynek and Nadodrze

The best burgers in Wrocław are concentrated around the Rynek, the medieval market square, and in the streets that run off it: Świętego Mikołaja, Kuźnicza, Oławska and Wita Stwosza. Beyond the Old Town, Nadodrze, north of the Oder, and the university area around Plac Grunwaldzki are where to look for cheaper, later meals.

Wrocław is one of Poland’s largest university cities, and its students drive steady demand for an affordable burger with a craft beer. The Old Town is dense enough to compare several kitchens on foot in a single evening, which makes the Rynek the obvious starting point for a first visit. For the other side of local eating, Hala Targowa, the reinforced-concrete market hall completed in 1908 on the bank of the Oder, sells Polish produce, pickles and cured sausages.
