Overview

Follow your guide on a fascinating journey through the rich history of Krakow, with an emphasis on four iconic monuments: the Wawel Royal Castle, the Cathedral, the Old Town and St. Mary's Basilica located on the Main Square.
After entering Wawel Hill, you will see the exhibition inside the Wawel Castle. Our guide will show you around the intricate interiors of the castle, which for centuries was the residence of Polish kings but also served other functions.
