Krakow’s Dragon Trail — fun for kids and adults too

2025-10-01

In Krakow, the legend of the Wawel Dragon is not just history — it lives on throughout the city via the Dragon Trail, which has become a delightful attraction for families and explorers of all ages.

The Dragon Trail features dozens of dragon sculptures scattered around the city in locations rich with history, culture, and legend. Beyond the iconic Wawel Dragon, you can find dragons such as Kazimierz, the Filmmaker, the Surveyor, the Tourist, the Kite Dragon, the Water Dragon, and many more.

It’s truly a fun scavenger hunt — kids will love spotting dragons, while adults will appreciate the context of their placement and the stories behind them. Along the way you can admire Krakow’s landmarks, stroll along the Vistula boulevards, cross into Kazimierz, visit the Old Town, or relax in green spaces.

📍 Some dragons you might encounter:

  • Wawel Dragon – at the foot of Wawel Hill

  • Kazimierz Dragon – near the bridge or heading toward Gallery Kazimierz

  • Dragon Filmmaker, Dragon Surveyor, Dragon Tourist, and more across the city

These legendary dragons also carry symbolic meanings — each dragon often refers to the history or character of the place where it stands. It’s a mix of art, legend, and walking — the perfect way to see Krakow from a new perspective.

And here’s the question… can you find them all? 🤔
