The Multimedia Fountain at Pergola is a cultural gem of Wrocław that’s been wowing crowds since its grand opening on June 4, 2009, marking 20 years of Poland’s first free elections. Spanning a massive hectare, it boasts 300 water jets, 800 computer-programmed lights, and three fire jets, creating a symphony of water, music, and visuals. Daytime shows sync water jets to classical, pop, and ambient tunes, while evening performances add dazzling lights and projections. Located in Szczytnicki Park next to the UNESCO-listed Centennial Hall, it’s a must-visit for locals and tourists alike. Whether you’re into Madonna, Daft Punk, or Hans Zimmer soundtracks, there’s something for everyone.
Why is Multimedia Fountain Wrocław Special?
It is the largest fountain in Poland and one of Europe’s biggest. Two powerful pumps create a water screen for projections, paired with synchronized lights and music. A family-friendly spot to relax, Multimedia Fountain Wrocław comes as a package with nearby attractions like the Japanese Garden and Wrocław Zoo.
