Think you know Wawel? Think again.
This is not your typical history tour. It’s a journey into the hidden side of Polish history — a world of power, love, scandal, and influence, where women shaped the fate of a nation.
On this 2-hour storytelling walking tour, you’ll explore Wawel Hill through the lives of extraordinary women — from legendary heroines and medieval queens to powerful Renaissance figures and women who resisted during World War II.
Most tours focus on kings and dates. This experience focuses on people, emotions, and untold stories.
