About

Get ready to learn about history at the Wawel Hill complex in Kraków. The castle at its heart dates back to the 13th century and has stood as a silent witness to history’s momentous events, once serving as the residence of the Polish royal family.

Join an experienced guide and stroll through the castle’s interior, visiting the permanent exhibition and uncovering intriguing tales about the monarchs who once called this place home. Peek into private royal chambers and grand rooms to catch a glimpse of courtly life, marveling at the exquisite decor and attire.

Then, descend into the depths of the imposing cathedral, which is still a place for active worship. Lastly, walk to the top of Wawel Hill and take in the breathtaking panorama of Kraków and the Vistula River.
