Overview

Visiting Cracow and not passing by the Wawel Castle is just like visiting Paris and missing the Eiffel Tower. We encourage you to see the Wawel and have a guided trip to one of the most important hills in Poland – the Wawel Royal Hill. This was where Polish kings and queens reigned over Poland and the very secrets of their life could suffice to be the theme of several tours. We are going to share the most significant of those secrets and show you the most important places within the Wawel Hill, and finally leave you with the Wawel Dragon, telling you in advance how to defeat it. See you in Wawel!

The tour is conducted simultaneously in Polish and English.
