The most flexible option. Explore at your own pace with a personal audio guide, available in 7 languages (Polish, English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian). It covers all the highlights of the Royal Route.

For groups, a tour with a licensed Castle guide offers a personalized and interactive experience. These must be booked well in advance through the official channels and are available in multiple languages.

Thematic Tours

The Castle often organizes special thematic tours focusing on specific aspects of its history, art, or architecture. Check the official website for the current schedule of these unique experiences.

Why Choose an Audio Guide?

For most individual visitors, the audio guide is the perfect companion. It allows you to set your own pace, lingering longer in rooms that capture your interest and moving more quickly through others. The commentary brings the opulent interiors to life, explaining the function of each room, the stories behind the portraits, and the symbolism in the decor.

You can easily add an audio guide to your online ticket booking. Pick it up from the designated desk after you enter the Castle. It's an affordable and highly effective way to deepen your understanding and appreciation of this historic landmark.
