Polish History Lessons Through Wawel Castle Tour
The Wawel Hill in Krakow is a rocky hill that has been the seat of secular and church authorities for centuries. As you step into the premises, gaze in awe at the architectural beauty of the Wawel Castle and the Cathedral – two of the earliest examples of Romanesque and Gothic architecture in Poland. A professional English-speaking guide will lead you into the magnificent 14th-century Wawel Castle. Here, get access to see any one of the permanent exhibitions such as Representative Royal Chambers and Private Royal Apartments, the Crown Treasury and the Armory, Oriental Art, The Lost Wawel, and Wawel Recovered. No matter which exhibition you get to see, you will become much wiser about Polish history and culture with the help of your guide.
From a Church Visit to Sipping Authentic Wine in a Cellar
Next, walk into the Wawel Cathedral, the most celebrated cathedral in Poland and an example of medieval Polish cathedral architecture. Take note of the elaborate marble altar coverings and much of the ceiling adornments. The building is a mausoleum for many important figures in the Polish historical narrative. You will see crypts of kings and queens, along with a number of other national treasures like Adam Mickiewicz, a renowned Polish poet in the 19th century.
To end your guided tour, visit a 15th-century cellar and indulge in fine wine tasting with delicious Polish tapas. Sip your wine from the highest rooftop as you experience the most exquisite views of Wawel Castle.
