We encourage you to see the Wawel and have a guided trip to one of the most important hills in Poland – the Wawel Royal Hill. This was where Polish kings and queens reigned over Poland and the very secrets of their life could suffice to be the theme of several tours. We are going to share the most significant of those secrets and show you the most important places within the Wawel Hill, and finally leave you with the Wawel Dragon, telling you in advance how to defeat it. See you in Wawel!

We will walk slowly towards the nearby Wawel Hill, on which the Polish pearl of architecture has been built. You will learn who built the castle, as well as where the funds for its construction came from.
We are going to go uphill, pass through the Arms Gate, stop by the monument of Tadeusz Kościuszko (one of the most important Polish heroes), and later – pass by the entrance to Wawel Hill central square.
You will admire Wawel Hill, which is a mixture of architectural styles due to the reign of different kings over the centuries.
Our guide will bring you the full history of Wawel Hill, interesting facts about the people who ruled the castle, intrigues, and funny situations that could lead to the tragedy. There will also be the Wawel dragon and the legend associated with it, known to every Pole.
