From the reign of Prince Casimir the Restorer (11th century) Wawel was the seat of Polish monarchs. In the Wawel Castle they have solved the most crucial political issues and live their personal dramas. The royal court attracted the greatest artists and enlightened minds. Polish Kings were crowned and buried in the Wawel Cathedral.

We would like to invite you to a place, that will enchant you with its rich history and and almost mystical atmosphere. This tour is a unique opportunity to marvel at the first-class architecture of different eras – from the early Middle Ages to the nineteenth century – and hear the most fascinating stories associated with the Wawel Hill.

Wawel Cathedral is almost intimidating by its splendor and vastness. The heart of Polishness beats right here. The walls of the cathedral saw the royal coronations, weddings and funerals. Former rulers lie in the crypts immersed in an eternal sleep next to national heroes and eminent poets. The royal tombs are often works of art of the highest class. There is a scientific hypothesis attributing the authorship of this, in which King Wladyslaw Jagiello rests, to Donatello! The real jewel is the Renaissance Sigismund Chapel, designed by the Italian master, Bartolomeo Berecci. Come and see all the treasures and secrets of this remarkable temple.
