    The guide spoke far too fast and it was difficult to get a grasp of what she was saying before she had moved to the next room

    An excellent guide. Just a pity that so much of the castle interior was closed.

    Interessante la visita. Molto preparata la guida , che ha illustrato la storia polacca con molti particolari ( a volte fin troppi !) Unico neo : le molte persone presenti nei sotterranei della cattedrale hanno creato ingorghi potenzialmente pericolosi . È mancata regolamentazione del flusso.
