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! The tour is conducted simultaneously in Polish and English.
