Join us on the guided tour of Wawel Hill, a key historical site in Poland where Polish royalty ruled for centuries.

Tour of Wawel Royal Hill

We'll meet at the designated time on Kanonicza street, site of Poland's greatest historical treasure. The guided walk will start as we proceed along the charming cobblestone street toward Wawel Hill.

Upon arrival, we will visit the two significant buildings in Krakow: the cathedral and the castle of Wawel. The local guide will provide substantial historical facts and reveal secrets about the royals.

During our exploration, we will uncover stories including Sigismund III Vasa's alchemical experiments and their connection to the major fire of Wawel Castle. We'll also view the site where the only bomb dropped on Wawel during World War II fell, along with the notable Wawel Hill dragon, which offers a scenic panoramic view of southern Krakow. Bring your cameras!

Our tour will conclude after an hour and a half of engaging with Polish history.
