Today I really feel like a tourist: I went to visit wawel castle with Pepe and Kasia (still his EVS-friend btw).
I have this strange feeling. Living in a city ensure you to never visit it as a tourist: To go to the most popular place to see. Museums, Castles, cathedrals, Churches, Parks, famous districts, Galeries... I loved to live in Nantes for this two year before coming but I missed a lot.
I don't want to repeat it with Krakow.
So Wawel, here we are! let's gooooooooo
A little, very little, point of history. Wawel Hill is situated near the Wisla river. It's safe situation explain that the Royal Castle and the Cathedral are situated on it. Polish Royalty and many distinguished Poles are interred in the Basilica. Royal coronations have taken place there since 1320. It's directly connected to rynek by the royal road (Ul. Grodzka)
Wawel is a symbolic place of great significance for all Polish people.
