About the Tour

Want to explore the darker side of Krakow? Take Krakow's spookiest audio tour, with tales of ghoulish ghosts and gruesome deaths. This Krakow ghost tour delves into the city's dark history and is not for the faint-hearted!

Krakow's picturesque medieval streets hide a sinister history. On this 75-minute walking tour, you'll uncover tales of vampires, serial killers, and restless spirits. You'll also hear how folklore and true crime have become intertwined across the centuries.

Wander through the Old Town and hear the story of Krakow's notorious Vampire Killer, the morbid life of the Executioner, and the curious case of the Nun in the Basement. We'll also visit Krakow's dragon, Smok Wawelski, and pay a visit to the house of the Woman in the Black – a restless spirit who haunts the halls.

You'll learn about the cannibalistic killer known as the Butcher of Krakow, as well as the mummified bodies beneath the city's cobbled streets.

Along the way, you'll have a chance to:

  • Discover how vampires might have really existed
  • Hear the story of Pan Twardowski, the man who sold his soul to the Devil
  • Listen to the shocking true story of the murder of Saint Stanislaus, the Bishop of Krakow
  • Find out about the gruesome crimes of Nazi collaborator Franz Tham
  • Hear about the curse of the King's tomb and the terrible fate of Peter the Complainer

Are you ready to peek behind the curtain of Krakow's seedy underbelly?
