Do you want to see the most spectacular view in Krakow? Welcome to Wawel! We are now opening a completely new observation deck on the roof of the Small Tower, located in the immediate vicinity of the royal palace and the highest Senatorial Tower in the castle.
After climbing 101 stairs and reaching the cloister, you can admire the stunning panorama of the castle surroundings. Of course, you can clearly see the area of Wawel Hill and the Old Town. From the observation deck there is also a view the picturesquely meandering Vistula. The whole is completed by the green side of the city – the Sowiniec range, above which rise majestically Srebrna Góra with the Camaldolese monastery in Bielany and the Kościuszko and Piłsudski Mounds. In good weather, the distant peaks of the Tatra Mountains and the Babia Góra range can also be seen on the horizon.
The Small Tower, with an observation deck on its roof, was built in the 1940s to connect the southern frontage of the palace cloisters with the administration building. This is where a new castle exhibition presenting the history of the Wawel town will soon be opened.
