Most travelers spend time visiting the tombs while on their tours. This glorious Cathedral was also a coronation place of the Polish kings.

My next recommadation is Niedzica Castle and also the Royal Castle in Warsaw which was rebuilt completely after WWII, based on photographs, blueprints and memories. Another great site is the Wilanow Royal Palace whichwas a home to Kings such as John Sobieski III and King August II among its other residents, before it became a museum in 1805.
