Description
Discover the heart of Polish identity on this private tour of Wawel Cathedral — the site of royal coronations, burials, and spiritual milestones for over 700 years. Step inside with your licensed private guide to see marble tombs, gilded chapels, and masterpieces of sacred art. Climb the bell tower to touch the Sigismund Bell, cast in 1520 and rung only for the most important national occasions.
Then, stroll through the Wawel Castle Courtyard, where Gothic, Romanesque, and Renaissance influences meet. Learn about the layers of churches and palaces that once stood here, and admire the plaques and arches that preserve centuries of stories. A journey for lovers of history, faith, and architecture alike.
