FREE NOVEMBER 2023

"Free November in royal residences" is an annual campaign organised by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage.

The 11 royal residences of Polish monarchs - Wawel, the Royal Castle in Warsaw, the Wilanów Palace, the Royal Łazienki, castles in Lublin, Poznań, Malbork, Kwidzyn, Sztum, Sandomierz and the Żupny Castle in Wieliczka - open their doors to visitors.

The Wawel Royal Castle, as always, joins in this initiative by allowing free visits to the permanent exhibitions at specific times.
This year, visitors to the castle will be able to see, among other things, the international exhibition The Image of the Golden Age.
