based on 10700 reviews"The Wawel Royal Castle (Zamek Królewski na Wawelu) is a castle residency. It's located in centre of Kraków, Poland. The castle, is one of the largest in Poland and represents nearly all architectural styles of medieval, renaissance and baroque periods.What is interesting, Wawel is the first UNESCO World Heritage Site in the world. 5/5"Krakow1.4km from downtownHighlights: The Wawel Castle on the Wawel Hill in Krakow is the palace of the Polish emperors. Looking up at Wawel Castle, the red brick walls outside are as neat as the Great Wall, which contrasts with the pink walls and black tiles of the inner city. The existence of dragons can be found on the totems, badges, and rain drains of the eaves of Wawel Castle. The dragon has become the symbol of this city. It is rare that during World War II the whole of Poland was almost razed to the ground, but Krakow was not destroyed. It is also a must-see tourist attraction for tourists.Show Less - 5.04.5/565 ReviewFreebased on 26947 reviews"fell in love with this town beautiful. great atmosphere, lots of green around the City"Krakow662m from downtownHighlights: The central square in Krakow can be called the largest medieval square in Europe. It is also a very exciting place in Krakow. It is warm and vibrant. Many people come to Krakow to experience the authentic local customs of Poland. The brick red Church of the Virgin Mary on the square is the symbol of Krakow, and when the sun shines, it emits a charming warm red. The textile hall with a white Renaissance building in the middle has now been converted into a shopping mall and a museum. The dazzling amber accessories, dishes, Polish dolls, gloves and sweaters in the shopping mall are the reasons why tourists love to stop. As the hour approaches, people walking and drinking coffee in the square will stop and pay their respects to the church - when the hour arrives, the small window at the top of the church bell tower will open and a golden trumpet sticks out , playing a piece of tune loudly, and after the end, the player will wave to the people below, so there will be whistles and applause from people in the square. The tradition of playing the trumpet is to commemorate the invasion of nomads from the Mongolian plateau in the 8th century, when an enemy soldier shot an arrow through the throat of the player at that time, and the sound stopped abruptly. To commemorate this soldier, until now, the horn sounded on the hour was abruptly terminated at that moment.Show Less
