Wawel Castle Tour | AT Cracow in Krakow, Poland

Wawel Castle stands as one of Krakow’s most iconic landmarks—a fortress of stone perched above the Vistula River in Poland’s historic Lesser Poland Voivodeship. This UNESCO World Heritage site once housed Polish royalty and today serves as a gateway to the nation’s rich, complex past. AT Cracow’s focused 2-hour guided tour reveals the castle’s interiors and armoury, all presented in Spanish for clear immersion.
