Malczyce

Skip Malczyce as a destination: no hotels, limited dining, and the main sights are in Wrocław or Legnica. Pass through if you need a quiet stop on the E52 or a riverside walk.

Malczyce is a small Oder river town in Lower Silesia, 40 km northwest of Wrocław. It has no major attractions, a handful of pubs and B&Bs, and is best used as a brief break on the road between Wrocław and Legnica. Most travellers should stay in Wrocław or Świdnica instead.
