The tour starts after the sun goes down...we meet where there once was a medieval cemetery. You'll hear the legends that reveal wherefrom vampires arose to walk this realm. Creeping down the cobbled streets we visit the executioners' house and unriddle some myths about them. You will stand in the spot where grisly public executions were performed and view/inspect a chapel in which the convicts spent their last night on earth hoping for a miracle (which indeed for some lucky souls transpired). We follow the footsteps of a "gentleman" serial killer who revelled in appearing at local shindigs and venture to meet two of Kraków’s best-known ghosts - a lady in black and “The White Lady.” In the end, as the moon climbs high over the city, we'll speak of medieval crimes and punishments in an actual torture chamber. Join us for these bone-chilling frights and spine-tingling delights and don’t worry - we’ll bring the garlic!
