This was my second visit to Wawel, this time with an audio guide and now a guided tour. Since we visited previously the Wieliczka salt mine we didn't arrive before early afternoon. I had seen both the state apartment and the royal apartments previously on two yours in 2013. Compared to then the ticket selling was much more quicker, they did even have tickets left for both tours, we opted for state apartments. Hardly anything of the furniture remains, but the tapestries/paintings or ceilings are still nice to see, but not too outstanding. Unfortunately the no photography policy didn't change (similarly for the cathedral). If you have to decide to see either the royal palace or the cathedral, so the cathedral which is outstanding. The Royal palace is nice and pleasant though too. We spent a bit less than 45 minutes inside.

Poland is a wonderful country to visit, you can see lots of stuff. Once, Krakow was the capital of Poland, that's why there are so many wonderful and historic sites to see. One of them is the Wawel. If you are in Poland you have to see the Wawel! It is nice to look at the Architektur but also has a historical background that is worth reading. If you got a guide you can see more, the guide will also tell you stories that nobody knows! Highly recommended !!!

The Wawel royal castle is a must-see if you are in Krakow. Not only it is a piece of art architecturally speaking. It is also a great witness of the time. Indeed, built between the 13th and 14th century, the castle has known many inhabitants through the centuries. When wondering around the castle one can learn the many legends regarding the building itself or its foundation. Hence the presence of the statue of a dragon spitting fire down Wawel hill. Nowadays one can visit the splendid rooms of the castle which has pretty much become an art museum. The castle overlooking the Vistula river, offers a great sunset at dusk.

Wawel is an amazing historic site, with numerous great buildings and museums housing beautiful art and historic artefacts within the walls of the old castle of Polish kings.

It is a must-see, when you are in Krakow, although definitely the booking and queueing systems are extremely confusing - to save yourself a lot of hassle, I recommend pre-booking a guide earlier and discussing with them the plan.

Very beautiful to walk around, lovely scenic spaces and to soak up the history. It’s not too big to walk around the grounds so you only need an hour or so.
