Step into the shadowy streets of Kazimierz, one of Kraków’s most enigmatic districts, and uncover a chilling chapter of the city’s modern history. This guided walk follows the true story of Karol Kot, infamously known as the “Vampire of Kraków,” whose brutal crimes in the 1960s spread fear across the city.

The tour leads you through locations connected to Kot’s life and crimes—places where he lived, observed his victims, and carried out his attacks. Set against the stark reality of post-war, communist-era Kraków, you’ll explore a city shaped by social tension, moral contradictions, and a crumbling urban landscape that formed the backdrop to these disturbing events.

Beyond recounting shocking details, the experience delves into the psychology behind the crimes, tracing their escalation and examining the investigation that ultimately brought them to an end. This is not sensational storytelling, but a carefully researched journey into crime, context, and consequence.

Dark, thought-provoking, and deeply unsettling, the tour offers a haunting look at Kazimierz and one of the most disturbing episodes in Kraków’s recent past.
