[Wawel Castle] Recommended for girls' trips! A fairy-tale-like beauty

Wawel Royal Palace stands on a hill along the Vistula River in Krakow. When I saw it for the first time, I thought, "It's too cute... it's wonderful like a dream"❣️ It's a place where the kings of Poland once lived, loved, and fought. Walking through the courtyard lined with Gothic and Renaissance buildings, I feel like the winds of history are blowing gently. Crowns, swords, heavy furniture, and many works of art... none of them are just exhibits, you can feel the presence of people who lived in the era. And in the Wawel Cathedral right next to it, the kings and heroes of the past are sleeping, and it's a time to touch the very soul of the country of Poland. The view is also amazing, and it's a place that clears your mind. It costs a fee to enter the building and has a time designation system, but I highly recommend "The Wawel Town and viewing platform", which was relatively reasonable! ! I was amazed many times by the beauty of the castle and the space seen from above 🙂↕️It was a castle that I wanted to take my time to explore. 🚶 Access information • Location: Wawel 5, 31-001 Kraków, Poland • Nearest station: Krakow Central Station (Kraków Główny) about 20 minutes on foot • Bus/tram: 5 minutes on foot from Wawel stop • Walking distance from Old Town: about 15 minutes from the main square (Rynek Główny) ⸻ 🕰 Opening hours (※ varies depending on the exhibition) ・ Grounds (courtyard, etc.): 6:00-21:00 every day (varies depending on the season) • Exhibition room/museum area: usually 9:30-17:00 • Closed: Some exhibitions are closed on Mondays (check beforehand) • Last admission time: 1 hour before closing #Poland #WawelCastle #AbsolutelyFreeTrip
