Groupon RecommendsIn Krakow, the Gothic structure of hilltop Wawel Castle is about a 15-minute walk from the Ostoya Palace Hotel, and stands as a splendid site of Renaissance furnishings and architecture.

The square is flanked on all sides by magnificent palaces and churches, and hosts various festivities throughout the year.
