On the day

Wawel Royal Castle crowns a limestone hill above the Vistula at the southern edge of Kraków's Old Town. For over five centuries it was the seat of the Polish monarchy, and the palace standing today is largely the Renaissance residence created for Sigismund I the Old between 1517 and 1536, arranged around one of the great arcaded courtyards of Europe.

Frequently asked

What is Szczerbiec?
The coronation sword of the Polish kings — used at coronations from 1320 to 1764 and one of the very few pieces of the royal regalia to survive the Prussian seizure of 1794. It is the centrepiece of the Crown Treasury.
Are the tickets for a specific time slot?
Yes. Wawel's exhibitions are timed-entry with daily visitor caps. You choose a date and entry time at checkout, and your ticket is valid for that slot. Arrive on the hill 15–20 minutes early.
How long does the Treasury take?
Allow 30–45 minutes. It pairs naturally with the Armoury, and lands hardest if you walk it after the State Rooms, when the throne rooms are fresh in your mind.
Is the State Rooms route included?
No — Wawel sells each exhibition separately with its own timed slot. The State Rooms + Royal Private Apartments route is our castle_floors ticket; many visitors book both.
