Visitamos el castillo de Wawel con mi pareja y nos dejó impresionados. La arquitectura es increíble, con detalles históricos que se aprecian en cada sala y torre. Pasear por sus patios y recorrer las estancias reales permite imaginar cómo vivían los reyes de Polonia y cómo se desarrollaba la vida en la corte. Además, su historia es fascinante: desde la Edad Media hasta convertirse en símbolo del patrimonio polaco, con tesoros y obras de arte que merecen ser vistos. Sin duda, es un lugar recomendable para quienes visiten Cracovia, tanto por su belleza como por su valor histórico. Una experiencia que no olvidaremos.

Visitable. Buenas vistas al río desees la muralla. Las colecciones del interior son interesantes, pero si buscas grandes obras famosas o de grandes artistas no las vas a encontrar. Se hacen un poco monótonas. Quizás lo mejor el tesoro. Lo que no vale la pena es los parte arqueologica.

La ubicación permite unas vistas de la ciudad muy bonitas. En el recinto hay varios edificios que se pueden visitar,. Nosotros visitamos la catedral y lo recomendamos completamente. También la torre del campanario a la que se accede por la catedral también. Si tenéis opción de coger la audioguia, no lo dudéis por los 4€que cuesta.
