Explore Wawel Cathedral

Overview

We begin your adventure outside Wawel Cathedral, where we'll explore its history and architecture together. Once inside, we'll focus on the relics of Roman Catholic saints housed within the cathedral. We'll stroll past the sarcophagi of the first kings buried in Wawel. Next, we'll climb the wooden stairs to the Zygmunt's Bell, which has hung in the same spot for 500 years. It rings on important holidays or occasions for Poles and Christians worldwide. Along the way, we'll admire the auxiliary bells. We'll then visit several side chapels, focusing on their architecture and trying to understand why a specific style was chosen for the construction or renovation of each one. Finally, we'll arrive at the royal tombs, where we'll see not only the coffins of the kings but also those of their relatives and other important Poles.
