Dragon's Den
Overview
Dragon's Den - a remarkable journey through dark underground filled with legends, hidden in the heart of Wawel Hill.
Dragon's Den, nestled in the heart of royal Krakow, is a magical place that stirs the imagination of every explorer. This renowned cavern, concealed within the underground of Wawel Hill, is an integral part of the city's history and legends.
According to local tales, this monumental cave was once the abode of a mighty dragon that used to breathe fire, spreading fear throughout the area. However, thanks to the cleverness and bravery of a young boy named Skuba, the dragon was defeated, and the cave became one of the most popular points on Krakow's tourist map.
An intriguing fact is that the Dragon's Den has served different functions over the centuries - not only as the dragon's home, but also as a tavern, and even a brothel! Today, visiting Dragon's Den, you'll immerse yourself in an unforgettable stroll through dark, mysterious corridors, and at the end of the route, you'll be met with a breathtaking panorama of the Vistula River and Kazimierz, the Jewish Quarter. Don't miss this extraordinary attraction during your visit to Krakow!
