The Wawel Castle in Krakow is located on the Wawel Hill a good 25m above the Vistula. Formerly the seat of the Polish rulers, the magnificent castle now functions as a national museum.

The Wawel Castle in Kraków is situated on Wawel Hill a good 25m above the Vistula River. Formerly the seat of Polish rulers, the magnificent palace now functions as a national museum.

The Wawel Castle in Kraków in southern Poland is located on the rocky hill of the same name a good 25m above the Vistula. The castle complex on Wawel Hill used to be the residence of the Polish kings in Kraków and, together with Kraków's Old Town, has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1978. As part of the history-packed Wawel Hill, Wawel Castle is also on our list of top 10 sights in Poland.

The fortress of the Polish kings. The castle was built in the 14th century but some of the old stone buildings can be traced back to 970 AD.
