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.

Definitely worth your visit, amazing detail and architecture especially see Lost Wawel and the armoury. Strangely you have to buy tickets for each section you are wanting to see and the queues are long so definitely use online if you can. Also strangely the cathedral is another ticket and another office. They should really just sell one ticket covers all. It would be a lot quicker!

Sizable Jewish population of Krakow moved to this district at the end of the fifteenth century, which served as the main cultural center of the Polish Jewry for centuries.

This is a wonderful area to walk around and discover.Buildings are great & a lot of them are being renovated so I suspect this will become a more popular area over the next few years. The Plac Nowy is a central square which has a brilliant flea market on a Saturday & in the centre is a round building which houses lots of little street food kiosks serving a traditional Polish pizza like snack for around £2 Take a look & enjoy wandering the streets

It is really just a ruins but quite a bit more that just a rubble. It is open for visiting and you can do it 2 different ways. You can take a boat across from Niedzica and back or you can drive to Czorsztyn and visit. We really enjoyed walking the old walls and specially the you get to the top levels views over the lake and towards the NIedzica castle are grand.
