General information
Covering Wrocław’s western rump, Fabryczna is primarily known for two reasons: its airport and its football stadium. Taking its name after the factories that once dominated the landscape, the area’s industrial heritage is counter-balanced by an array of parks and forests, not to mention historical landmarks such as the palatial Leśnica Castle. Rebuilt in Baroque style in the 18th century, today it houses an acclaimed cultural centre whose busy program of events include an annual beer festival. There is, however, also a serious side to Fabryczna and that much is evidenced by the presence of the Higher School of Banking and business parks such as the state-of-the-art Business Garden Wrocław. Home to a thriving office culture, more and more firms have made Fabryczna their base.

Also in progress is Lokum Porto, a project that will deliver apartments ranging from 25 sq/m to 140 sq/m within a stone’s throw of the river. Similarly, Apartamenty nad Rzeką waterfront views will doubtless lure buyers. Perhaps closest of all to the centre, Długa 15 sits just a 20-minute walk from the Old Town Square. Centred around a plaza and fountain, Lokum Da Vinci promises a feast of differently coloured cubist-style blocks, whilst Nowe Żerniki stands to become one of the most unique developments of all.

Greenery & Recreational Spaces
Riddled with hiking trails, cycle paths and, even, the ruins of a pre-war German restaurant, the 550 hectare Las Mokrzański is the city’s largest forest. Doing well in the greenery stakes, Fabryczna’s glories do not end there – spoiled for choice, residents can also enjoy such places as Park Tysiąclecia, a modern and user-friendly complex that bills itself as the biggest park in Wrocław. Boasting a castle-themed playground, rolling meadows, artificial gorges, BBQ spots and streams, it’s become an attraction in its own right ever since its creation in the year 2000. Likewise, Park Zachodni is equally loved by locals – lurking in the undergrowth, find the remains of WWI military fortifications scattered around. Fabryczna’s sporting credentials are also quite peerless. Used as a host venue for Euro 2012, the 45,000 capacity Tarczyński Arena is among the country’s most modern stadium facilities, and its to here that fans converge to pay homage to the local football side, Ślask Wrocław. Featuring indoor and outdoor pools, an ice rink and basketball arena, the Orbita sports complex is likewise celebrated across the city.
