When you reach Wawel you really understand why Krakow is called cultural capital of Poland. Nice view from the top of the castle.

It’s a great historic place when one can learn a lot about Polish heritage. Absolutely stunning art and historic pieces with opportunities for amazing pictures. Highly recommend to everyone who want to discover some Polish history.

Wawel Castle was great. The exterior of the castle is quite nice and makes for some excellent photo opportunities. This castle has some remnants of the medieval fortifications but it is primarily a royal castle rather than a defensive castle. I was able to visit the temporary "All the King's Tapestries" exhibit which was amazing. There were some great tapestries with fantastical animals. The "State Rooms" were good but not a must-see. "Art of the Orient: Ottoman Turkish Tents" was also amazing. The tents were pretty cool but there were sabers, guns, armor, and horse tack mostly seized from the siege of Vienna as loot when the Ottomans were defeated which were spectacular. The "Crown Treasury and Armory" was also well-worth a visit with plenty of great weapons and armor including original Polish Hussar armor complete with feathered wings. "Sandomierska Tower" had some nice views and did not take long but it isn't absolutely necessary. There are a couple of other museums in the royal castle complex which I did not see. All in all, it was great fun and a very enjoyable way to spend a day.

We visited the magnificent looking Royal Castle which we viewed from our sumptuous hotel room. It was a warm day and upon our arrival we saw that a que had formed. We realised that there was only one ticket office which at a processing time of approximately 1 customer every 5 minutes meant that those who had formed behind us would have a wait of approximately 2 hours. What beggars belief is that there are members of staff handing out leaflets who could if the management had any sense be issuing tickets via portable ticket machines. When you do finally arrive at the ticket desk you are told that you have to purchase tickets for individual exhibits done of which have a limit on the number of visitors who can be admitted per day. Upon receiving our tickets and walking into the castle itself we discovers that there were lengthy ques to enter the exhibits we had booked. This is a diabolical shambles. An organizational disaster zone in which the loser is the customer who has essentially paid heavily to be stood in ques. I would suggest that the management of this historic venue look to appoint an independent expert to look over the customer experience and to develop a strategy going forward to customer access and ticket sales a more streamlined process. This will avoid customer frustration, reviews like this and make the magnificent building accessible and enjoyed by all those whom frequent its wallsu.
