What to expect

Visit one of the most important spots of Polish history and heritage, the Wawel Royal Cathedral. Located on the Wawel Hill, surrounded by medieval castle walls, this Gothic style church was built in 1142. More than 900 years old, it is the Polish national sanctuary and has traditionally served as the coronation site of the Polish monarchs as well as the Cathedral of the Archdiocese of Cracow. The cathedral was destroyed several times, but the reconstruction of the current one began in the 14th century and it managed to surpass its former glory.

During the tour with an audio guide you will have the opportunity to admire the most important sights of the cathedral. Discover the place which witnessed the most significant events of the Polish nation. You will then head to Sigismund Tower, the location of one of the largest Polish system of church bells: Sigismund's Bell. It needs 12 bell-ringers to swing a single 30-ton bell. Moreover, from the tower you can appreciate breathtaking sights of Old Town and Vistula River oxbow. Later, you will proceed to the Chapels and burial chambers which has been the main burial site of Polish leaders and monarchs. Each chapel is a piece of art in itself: sculpted in wood, marble and steel. At the end of the visit, you will have the chance to spend some time in the John Paul II Museum which is full of exhibits showing the connection of Pope John Paul II with the Wawel Cathedral.

The audio-guided tour around Wawel Cathedral and up the Sigismund Bell Tower takes around 30 minutes, the Royal Tombs 10 minutes and the Cathedral Museum around 20 minutes.
