The Neonside gallery – it is first one the list, because it might be one of the most overlooked places in Wrocław, yet it is right in the heart of the city – which is the the Four Denominations District. It is a place in which you can find around 30 different neons from various companies and institutions, which in most cases doesn’t exist anymore. This gallery is an art installation that could be found in a backyard of the old neon manufacturing company, at the Ruska 46C street. Foundation Neon Side has functioned for more than 10 years now, and the owner brought his first neon in 2005.

The second one that visitors in Wrocław miss out on the most at, is the backyard at Roosevelt’s street. The entrance doesn’t look very welcoming, but it certainly is a unique piece of street art.
All of the inner walls of the backyard are filled with different murals with paintings, and some sculptures as well. They are mostly touching on the topic of Polish culture and local history, but also nature, or pop culture.
So you can find some pictures of doggos over there, right next to Yoda from Star Wars, next to some monkeys and butterflies. Unusual place but worth checking out if you have a lot of free time to spare in Wrocław.
