Krakow with Kids: Dragon Legends of Wawel

110 min2.9 km9 opriri

A treasure-hunt walk for families, from Krakow's medieval city gate down the old Royal Road to Wawel Hill. Follow the trail of the city's dragon and founding legends: a fortress gate built after a great invasion, a trumpeter's broken warning call, a saint's miracle, the king who built his castle on the hill, the giant bones that guard the cathedral door, and the clever trick that finally beat the terrible dragon. Every stop has a puzzle to solve on the spot. Starts at the Barbican and St. Florian's Gate.
