The Wawel Hill is for Krakow what the Acropolis is for ancient Athens or the Capitol is for Rome. The rocky hill towering over the bank of the Vistula has been the seat of secular and church authorities for centuries, and today it is the most visited and one of the most important museums in Poland. It collects collections of paintings, sculptures, fabrics, militaria and furniture. The permanent exhibitions in the castle recreate the appearance of the rooms from the Renaissance and Baroque periods.
After seeing with an experienced local guide the original royal chambers, entering the majestic Cathedral and learning about the most interesting historical facts intertwined with fairy-tale stories, we will invite you to lunch at a nearby cafe and take a moment to breathe.
Finally, you will board a modern catamaran to take an intimate cruise on the queen of Polish rivers - the Vistula, and be able to admire Wawel, the Cathedral and a little of Krakow scattered on its shores from this side.
Public transportation options are available nearby. Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. Suitable for all physical fitness levels.
