La Luz is a newly opened international café & winebar in the wine-tower from the 13th century. Many of the locals have known this wine-tower as “Baszta” for many years.

Conveniently located between Rynek and Ostrów Tumski, the fine art academy and the university main building, and also between the Radisson Hotel and the city center, La Luz offers an ideal location for relaxation. Its specialities are the collection of affordable wine, authentic (as opposed to “Polish-style”) Mexican dishes, the eclectic collection of music (world music, jazz, reggae, blues, Cuban, salsa, tango, ambiance etc.), and, finally, the moody lightings, all of which are carefully arranged by Frederick Abrams, its owner and the multi-media artist.

In our interview, Frederick Abrams talks about how it all started and where it is heading.

In Wrocław, there are many gyms with so-called “trainers.” When these “trainers” are supposed to be helpful, many of them ignore your need and impose on you what they think good (often too much focused on heavy weight-lifting routines).
This personal training is to help you doing the exercise that you - and your body - need, according to your physical condition. The personal trainer will accompany you to the gym, swimming pool or outdoor, for the exercise that your body needs. If you have no time to travel around the city, it is also possible to arrange the training in your own living-room.

With request, the trainer can also give you a massage to relieve the stress on your neck and back. The massage session can be arranged with or without the exercise session, but it is always recommended to do exercise to keep yourself fit!
