Smok Wawelski, known as the Wawel Dragon, is located near Wawel Castle in Kraków, Poland, along the banks of the Vistula River. This statue, which breathes fire every few minutes, represents a legendary dragon that was said to have lived in a cave at the foot of Wawel Hill. Photo-travelers will appreciate the dramatic setting with the castle as a backdrop, especially at golden hour when the light highlights the stone and metal textures. Be sure to explore different angles, including shots capturing the fire bursts against the skyline. Visit the nearby Dragon’s Den cave for an intriguing blend of history and legend. Early mornings or late afternoons offer fewer crowds and better light.
