My wife and I walked around the castle during our first day and Krakow and it was great. The castle is very beautiful with so much to see. There is so much history in this location. I highly recommend spending a few hours at the castle.

Since Wawel hill has been occupied by those who held power (roughly since around 1000 AD), the site has been the scene of construction, decline and reconstruction. The result is a complex that for an outsider is rather confusing to understand. The help of guides is on offer ( at a price), but to absorb their stories and appreciate what they are showing is hardly possible, if you do not have at least some knowledge of Polish history. So come prepared after some study.

Also helpful is to make up your mind about what you prefer to see beforehand. In my case I focussed on architecture especially from the late 1500s period (Poland's Golden Age). E.g. the Renaissance style inner courtyard is outstanding. It feels almost as if you are in Italy. For me another highlight are the Coxie tapestries (Flemish) from the Jagiellonian period. I skipped almost all that was built and collected after 1600 when Krakow ceased to be the capital of Poland.

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 !!!
