It costs you nothing, but a good deed is done :-)
The palace of the Polish kings is called Wawel and is located on the left bank of the Vistula River in the city of Krakow. The towers and walls give it a real royal charm.
Near the entrance you can see a wall of bricks with written names. This is the wall of the benefactors of the palace. Their names are forever inscribed on the wall of the palace ;-)
The interior of the castle consists of royal buildings, buildings where servants lived and excavations of ancient fragments of the palace structures. It's nice to take a leisurely walk along the royal paths ...
It takes very little time to explore the courtyard. After examining the royal palace, we headed towards the main attraction of Krakow. Such an attraction is the dragon who lived in a cave on the hillside where the palace is located. As befits dragons - from time to time he liked to feast on people ;-) Now a monument has been erected to him for these merits. To heighten the effect,

every four minutes, the dragon releases a fiery flame from its mouth.

To have time to take a picture of the dragon with fire - listen carefully. A few seconds before the flame is emitted, a small noise is heard inside the dragon.
Not far from the dragon you will come across the most touching monument in the vicinity of the Wawel Palace, and perhaps the most touching one in Krakow. This is a monument to Hachiko in Krakow, whose name was Dzok. His devotion to the owner was so great that the inhabitants of the city erected a monument to him.
Besides Dzok, next to the palace there is an avenue of stars with handprints of celebrities. After visiting the alley, I can only say that Tim Roth has small palms. ;-)
