  • Explore the medieval center of Royal power

Wawel Hill is considered the most historically and culturally significant site in Kraków and Poland. This limestone rock, rising above the Vistula river, was chosen by the first ruler of the Polish state as the site of his residence. You can explore a fortified architectural complex erected atop the hill and admire the impressive architecture of the Royal Castle and the Wawel Cathedral, where Polish monarchs were crowned and buried.    

  • Meet the Wawel Dragon

According to the legend, one of the caves inside the hill was once home to the fire-breathing dragon. Today, you can meet this character at the foot of Wawel Hill in front of the limestone cave named Smocza Jama, or Dragon's Den. The impressive metal sculpture of the dragon is 6 meters (20 ft) tall and spits real fire every few minutes.  

Wawel Hill is located in Kraków's historic center, just a 10-minute walk from the heart of the Old Town. You can quickly get there by light rail. The closest station is Wawel, served by lines 6, 8, 10, 13, and 18.
