Additional Information

Wawel Hill to Krakow is what the Acropolis is to ancient Athens or the Capitol is to Rome. The rocky elevation overlooking the Vistula riverfront has long been the hub of both secular and ecclesiastical powers, and nowadays it’s one of Poland’s most crucial and most frequented museums. It hosts collections of paintings, sculptures, textiles, militaria, and furniture. The permanent exhibits within the castle revive the aesthetics of the Renaissance and Baroque eras.

Experience the original royal quarters with a knowledgeable local guide, step into the grand cathedral, and imbibe fascinating historical narratives veiled with mythical tales. Post this, we invite you for a relaxed lunch at a nearby cafe.

Lastly, hop onto a contemporary catamaran for a private voyage on Poland’s foremost river - the Vistula. From this perspective, you can appreciate Wawel, the Cathedral, and snippets of Krakow sprawled along its banks.

  • A dress code is required to enter places of worship and selected museums. No shorts or sleeveless tops allowed. Knees and shoulders must be covered for both men and women. You may risk refused entry if you fail to comply with these dress requirements.
