瓦维尔大教堂（katedra wawelska）

这座教堂在克拉科夫一个山岗上，可以说是波兰的国家圣殿了。现在像一个博物馆，展示了以前国王和主教们的陈列品。周边的环境风景很美，沿着河。

Worth the walk but limited to see inside the grounds unless paying entrance fees extra. Find the fire breathing dragon

Beautiful Cathedral. Purchase the audio tour which is very informative. Follow your small map around the cathedral and soak up the history. You will see tombs belonging to former King's and Queens's of Poland along with the relics of Pope John Paul in his own chapel. Great tour.

One of the most well maintained cathedrals I have seen so far which is package full of charm and history. Worth going up to the bell tower and reading the information about the cathedral/ castle which my camera failed to do justice. Also worth a mention it the fire breathing iron dragon statue behind it on the river path which was a nice surprise

Spent a good couple of hours walking around the cathedral with my Mum and Auntie. We paid a little more for the access to go up into the bell tower to see the views over Kraków, and also go down into the tombs. Lots of plaques to stop and read, and lots of decorative and beautiful features to admire while walking around. Would recommend!

You could walk around the Cathedral for free or if you had more time then you can pay for a more detailed visit. As we only had an hour or 2 spare we just wondered through - reading the history of the kings and queens who have inhabited Wawel since the 1300's

Definitely worth a visit. Castle is huge and the cathedral is spectacular. Interesting historical summaries around the tombs for your informations.

Such a place of beauty... Was absolutely mobbed and luckily we got there at 15:45... It shuts at 16:00 but they let us run around and see everywhere before we left which was really nice of the staff, thanks :)

it was snowing and looked just magical,well kept and maintained,although not fully open until approx 11 am

Pleasant hour spent in cathedral ,spend theextra to walk up bell tower,worth it for the view .excellent hot chocolate from cafe in grounds

WE went up to the castle on Sunday morning in the sunshine and it was a lovely morning out. The Cathedral up there is spectacular and very unusual. The views from up there are wonderful...

We came to look at it and didnt have much time its huge spend an afternoon looking at it well worth a look.

Beautifull cathedral! A must see in Krakau! It is worth the ascend to see the Sigmund bells, which are exceptionally huge!

We turned up on a Monday only to find the castle closed although he didn't notice this mentioned in any of the guide books we had read. The lady on reception couldn't have been less helpful or interested. We went back on Tuesday to see the state rooms and royal apartments and we're booked on the 10.30 state room tour. Puzzingly, there was no guide and you walk round at your own speed so why the precise 10.30 slot? The rooms are huge yet each has only one small information sheet, placed centrally on a lectern. We visited in February so never had long to queue up to read the information. Come high summer I imagine this system would break down completely and visitors will pass through without having a chance to read the information. There is an audio guide available but the ticket seller didn't think to mention this and you have already passed it by the time you get to tIcket sales.The royal apartments tour with Bozena was much, much better. An informative, enthusiastic guide who passed on masses of information in an interesting way and made up for her desk-bound apathetic colleagues.On both tours we were requested, reasonably, to wear plastic overshoes. Yet several school parties were not, which was another puzzle. On arrival at the castle, and several hours later when we left, we visited the ladies. On neither occasion were there paper hand towels in the holders. A small point but somehow symptomatic of the whole visitor experience which doesn't really cater very well for the visitor.

We went in February...very few visitors while we were there....plenty of time to view items at our leisure. While in one of the rooms we asked how so many priceless pieces were saved from the war and the gentleman tending the room explained to us that many of the pieces were sneaked out only hours before the invasion. Fascinating to see the exhibits we saw. We went to see "lady with an ermine" and we were the only two people in the room for about 10 minutes...just perfect. The "down" side to traveling that time of year is that not all of the exhibits are open...so viewing the underground exhibits were not possible. We were a bit disappointed with that, but no matter...we were blown away by all that we did see....beware the fire-breathing dragon by the river ;-)!!!!
