Kazimierz is a district that takes on a special atmosphere in the evening: lights, café gardens, a quieter flow of people and more room for stories. An evening tour lets you feel the district’s mood, see landmarks in a different light and combine history with the pleasure of a relaxed dinner afterwards.
Małgorzata Kasprowicz is a licensed Kraków guide who leads tours friendly to children and medium-sized groups (7–20 people). Her stories are adapted to engage both young and adult participants: full of curiosities, anecdotes and simple questions that involve everyone.
For families with children an evening walk also has a practical advantage — shorter lines for indoor attractions, a more relaxed pace and the option to finish the day in one of Kazimierz’s atmospheric cafés or restaurants.
The route is ideal for medium groups of about 7 to 20 people — a size at which the guide can comfortably keep in touch with every participant, take care of the children’s attention and organise museum visits.
Recommended for: families with children (preschool and school age), family groups, small groups of friends, and school or educational trips looking for an afternoon-evening programme.
The tour is led in a friendly, engaging style — with humour and questions tailored to the children’s ages.
- Start: meeting point (for example Plac Nowy or ul. Szeroka) — a short welcome and presentation of the plan.
- Walk the streets of Kazimierz: Szeroka, Józefa, Remuh — stories about the district’s history, synagogues and the everyday life of former residents.
- Visit to a chosen museum or exhibition (short entry) — the programme can include the Galicia Jewish Museum, the Rynek Underground or other venues that offer evening visits (to be confirmed when booking).
- Stop at Plac Nowy — short stories about the market and culinary traditions, time for photos and a rest.
- Finish: culinary recommendations and a place to relax (a café or restaurant).
Małgorzata has experience and authorization to guide in important city locations and cooperates with museums — this facilitates organising group entries (it’s worth confirming specific institutions when booking).
In practice: if you want the route to include entry to a particular museum, it’s best to book in advance — some museums have limited hours, especially in the evening.
Museum tickets are usually purchased separately (unless the guide arranges group entries). When booking, ask about discounts for children, students and seniors — appropriate documents are required to receive reduced fares.
For greater comfort in noisy places, headset sets are available — a practical solution for groups who want to hear the guide without crowding closely together.
The most popular tour lengths for families and medium groups are 2 or 3 hours; on request you can plan a longer route with breaks.
Evening departures are best booked in advance — afternoon and evening slots are especially popular at weekends.
When booking, please provide the number of participants (especially how many children and adults), preferred start time, any special needs (e.g. stroller, accessibility) and wishes regarding museum visits.
Comfortable shoes — the cobbled streets of Kazimierz are picturesque but uneven, so comfort is important.
Layered clothing — evenings can be cooler, especially outside summer; a light jacket or sweatshirt is a good idea.
A flashlight or a bright phone — useful in narrow passages and for photos in low light.
Water and a small snack — especially for younger children; although the tour usually ends near places serving food, breaks can be short.
Kazimierz offers a rich culinary scene — when planning an evening walk it’s worth reserving a table for the end of the route. A few well-known picks:
- Restaurants and atmospheric bars: Alchemia (a Kazimierz classic), Hamsa (Middle Eastern cuisine), Singer Cafe (a cosy café with character) — each offers a unique atmosphere.
- Plac Nowy: a great spot for street food and quick bites — practical when the group includes children or someone wants something fast.
- If you prefer to finish the evening more quietly — consider booking a table in a restaurant with a garden or a small, intimate café.
Kazimierz is generally safe — in the evening remember standard precautions: keep the group close, watch children near curbs and tram tracks and be mindful of car traffic on some streets.
For parents with strollers and people with limited mobility, please inform us when booking — some parts of the route can then be adapted to avoid the most uneven sections.
The guide looks after group order and keeps the pace suitable for children — if someone needs more frequent breaks, just let us know before the start.
Q: Is the route safe for small children? - Yes. The route is designed with families in mind; the guide uses methods to keep children’s attention and takes care of their safety. Please stay close to the group.
Q: Can we include a specific stop (e.g. a museum)? - Yes, if the museum is available at the chosen time. It’s best to request this when booking so the guide can reserve places or coordinate entries.
Q: How much does the tour cost? - The price depends on tour length and date. As orientation: the guide offers hourly packages (for example 2-hour and 3-hour options). Exact prices vary with promotions and season — confirm at booking.
Q: How is payment handled? - Payment methods are arranged during booking; many tours accept bank transfer, card or cash. Please confirm your preferred method when you contact us.
Q: What if it rains? - The walk usually takes place in most weather — bring rain gear. In case of severe weather there is the option to change the date or adapt the route.

If you plan to enter museums, remember additional ticket costs — the guide can help organise group entries and advise about discounts.
Book in advance, especially for weekends and high season — evening slots are in high demand.
Meet on time at the agreed place — this helps make the most of the tour time.
If you plan to dine after the tour, reserve a table in advance, especially for larger groups — many local places fill up quickly.
Inform us about special needs (food allergies, mobility limits) when booking — the guide will gladly tailor the route.
And finally — enjoy yourselves! Kazimierz at night can surprise, move and delight; with a guide who knows the district and can tell its stories in a child-friendly way, the evening can become one of the nicest memories of your stay in Kraków.
