Description

DARK KRAKOW — FROM LIGHT TO DARKNESS


Krakow is known for its kings, its churches, Wawel Castle, the University, its large squares, and its millennial history.

But there is also another story, and Journey to Krakow wants to tell it to you.

A story made of crimes, murders, trials, sentences, executions, violence, and criminality.

This is the story we tell you with DARK KRAKOW.

IT IS NOT A LEGENDS TOUR.
IT IS NOT A GHOST TOUR.
IT IS NOT A TALE OF INVENTED STORIES.

It is a journey through events that really happened and are documented.

We will walk through the places where these episodes actually occurred: from the ancient city gates to Wawel, passing through Floriańska, Szpitalna, Mały Rynek, Rynek Główny, Św. Jana, the University, Bracka, Grodzka, Kanonicza, and other places in the historic center.

We will talk about real people.

About victims.
About the accused.
About murderers.
About trials.
About sentences.
About executions.

And above all, we will try to understand what really happened.

The stories are reconstructed based on chronicles, historical documents, judicial acts, testimonies, and sources that allow verifying the events.

Where historical sources are incomplete or present different versions, we will clearly state it.

Because in this tour we want to distinguish one fundamental thing:

what is documented from what has become legend.

Each stop will not just be a tale of the past.

It will be an opportunity to see how, over the centuries, crime, justice, investigations, courts, and punishments have changed.

A journey into the criminal history of Krakow.

From the light of its monuments…

TO THE DARKNESS OF THE EVENTS THAT THOSE PLACES HAVE TRULY EXPERIENCED.
