If you’re ever in Kraków, you absolutely have to visit Wawel Royal Castle. The moment I passed through the gates, I felt like I was stepping back in time. The majestic walls, the beautiful courtyard,… Full review by Ramon T

It is free to go up and walk around all the Castle courtyards and see the views across Krakow from the castle parapets. There is a good cafe up there also that serves good strong coffee..There are two or three different parts inside the castle that you can choose to pay and see, some reports here say its worthwhile to pay and see them, and others not, depends how keen you are on the historical side I suppose.
Hi there My boyfriend and I have krakow booked for next week 18-22 March. We are supposed to be travelling from Dublin. We are not sure whether to continue with the trip, or cancel it due to corona virus. Are most tourist places still open? I’m aware museums are starting to close etc. Just wondering if it will be worth it for us to go as we wanted to visit Auschwitz etc. We were planning to fly out of Warsaw and get the train from krakow to Warsaw. If anyone could provide us with some information that would be great

Yes it is a fairly steep gradient. The road combines both shallow rise steps and the central part is the road/ ramp. For those assisting wheelchair users careful selection of footwear is essential particularly damp early mornings or rainfall. This is due to paviors having smooth surfaces - just take care. Good advice below - check attractions disability access provisions not all seemed very accessible for mobility limited individuals.
Hi can I do self guided tour in the castle.?i see only guided tours online? Where can I buy the tickets to enter the castle premises.? Thanks for the reply.

There can be queues, but then everyone stops at the first booth they see at the top of the hill on the way in - there are others which should be quieter.
