Wawel Cathedral

Wawel Hill, Kraków

Overview

Standing on Wawel Hill, this cathedral — with over 1,000 years of history — is Poland's most important religious building. Since the 14th century it hosted royal coronations, and its underground crypts hold the tombs of past kings, poets, and heroes. Independence hero Józef Piłsudski and poet Adam Mickiewicz also rest here. The Sigismund Bell (cast in 1520) in the tower is Poland's largest, and legend says touching it brings good luck. Admission about PLN 18 (EUR 4). Inside Wawel Castle grounds.
