Day Two - Wawel Royal Castle

Wawel Hill is home to the Cracow Catherdral and Royal Castle. It overlooks the city of Krakow and had its own wall for defense. It is home the largest Castle in Poland and once had it's own dragon if the stories are true. The Castle is home to famous tapestries and temporary home to Leonardo da Vinci's Lady with an Ermine. You could spend days exploring this area alone.
