The Wawel Dragon

This character, stemming from medieval legends, continues to be an essential part of the Krakow landscape. It is the most recognizable monument in Krakow, symbolizing this historic city and serving as a reminder of its rich history. Residing beneath Wawel Hill, this mythical creature is famous for breathing fire, providing an unforgettable spectacle for tourists. Visitors have the chance to see the dragon in all its glory and to enter the dragon’s den situated near the statue. A trip to this site is a must on the tourist map of Krakow, ideally starting from the Dragon’s Trail located at the Wawel Parking – leaving your car in a secure, underground parking!
