Choose your experience
Krakow: Old Secrets, Tales and Kings Evening Guided Tour is a walking tour of Krakow's Old Town, departing from Rynek Główny 35 and running for two and a half hours after dark. The route covers the medieval streets and squares of one of Central Europe's best-preserved historic centres, a city whose Old Town has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1978. The evening setting changes the character of the streets considerably, and the tour is designed to make use of that atmosphere through the stories attached to the places visited rather than through spectacle alone.
The guide leads the group through the Old Town's alleys and landmarks, drawing on accounts of alchemists, witches, vampires, plague management, the role of the executioner, and the significance of martens in the city's history, alongside stories connected to Polish kings. The route takes in Krakow attractions that look markedly different at night, with the guide providing context that goes beyond standard sightseeing. The tour is wheelchair accessible and the ticket covers the guided experience in full. A coffee break is available during the walk at an additional cost of approximately 20 PLN per person, and gratuities are at the visitor's discretion.
