Visiting Wavel Cathedral in Krakow - Poland

last month(edited)

Hello guys!

We arrived Krakow yesterday and went directly for the city to visit the cathedral before we would drive to our guesthouse. Check in was a few hours later so we had time enough. Driving through the city was an adventure. A lot of traffic, a train running right next to you and wild intersections say it all.

After we got a parking space we went to the nearby cathedral and saw the tower at first.

This area was huge. Many buildings were destroyed and some were rebuild around 1915-1920. The Austrian military took this area and used it as a military base. Later they gave it back to the polish nation.

There were way to much impression. My wife took photos from nearly everything.
The next room's walls were completely made of wood. Very impressive.

We could walk up the tower and got a nice view.

We saw almost everything we wanted to see even that there was way more. The last place to go was the Dragon's Den. I had no idea what it is but we should see a dragons cave after we enter it.
View to the Weichsel (Vistula) before we got in.

We went a few meters downstairs and it got colder and colder. Then we came to the damp cold cave. It's hard to see what is going on here.

The cave wasn't very large and we got there through quick. At the end we got our reward. There was a statue with a dragon.

Overall this place was crowded as hell. So many people from all over the world.

We got back to our car and drove to our guest house.
Thanks for reading and commenting!

Thanks for sharing this amazing travel recap! Kraków sounds like such a fascinating city, full of history and culture — especially the cathedral with its turbulent past and stunning architecture. Your descriptions and those beautiful pictures really make me want to visit. The woodwork and the view from the tower sound incredible, even if the Dragon’s Den was packed. 😉
Your post convinced me — Kraków is officially on my bucket list now! Thanks for the inspiration!
