Impressive castle and great exhibitions

Serving as a royal residence and the site where the country's rulers governed Poland for five centuries (1038-1596), this castle is a symbol of the independent Polish state and today contains a priceless collection of 16th-century Flemish tapestries, considered to be one of the largest in the world.

Impressive castle and great exhibitions
On holiday with my husband we spent a morning walking up to the castle and exploring some of its exhibitions. The castle itself is impressive to walk around and offers great views of the city. We booked tickets online with a specific entry time for the armoury and treasury. Exhibitions were lovely and quiet and had lots to see.

Fairytale castle
The castle is just how I imagine a fairytale castle should look like, so pretty. We walked around the castle on our first day, then visited again the next during our walking tour. I would recommend visiting with a guide as we saw and learnt much more about the castle on our second visit, rather than just using a guide book. The reason I haven’t given the castle a 5star review was that you need to buy individual tickets to enter different parts of the castle interiors, which mean queuing for tickets, then waiting for your allocated time slot. Not ideal if your time is limited. Even though we didn’t get to see any of the interiors, just taking a walk around the castle was worth the visit
