Kazimierz is a neighborhood full of history, flavors and contrasts — but it can also be cobbled, with narrow passages and stairs. If you are traveling with a stroller, have walking difficulties, come with seniors, or simply prefer a walk without tiring climbs, you can book a route designed specifically for comfort.
This kind of tour lets you focus on stories, atmosphere and photos instead of overcoming architectural barriers. I adapt the route to make it safe, interesting and — important for visitors — smooth, without long waits in lines.
As a licensed Kraków guide, I share authentic, local stories about the life of Kazimierz's Jewish community — in an accessible and anecdote-rich way, while respecting the memory and history of the place.
In short: fewer stairs = more stories, greater comfort and the chance to see the most important places without unnecessary effort.
If you wish, I can further tailor the route for people with limited mobility — write or call before the tour and I will prepare the optimal version of the route.
I design the walk individually, but a typical no-steps route includes the district's main highlights:
- Szeroka Street and its stories - the heart of Jewish Kazimierz, full of tales about former communities and daily life.
- Synagogues and memorial sites - stops at the most important synagogues with stories about their role, architecture and fate, plus reflection on the traces of World War II in this part of the city.
- Plac Nowy and culinary stops - short pauses to talk about local flavors, where to eat and how to combine sightseeing with a coffee break.
- Remuh Cemetery and a brief introduction to practices and symbols - a peaceful place full of history and emotions.
- Film and literary spots - excerpts of routes linked to cinema, literature and contemporary culture of Kazimierz.
If you like, I can combine the walk with a gentle entry to a selected museum or memorial depending on reservation options and availability — we will discuss this when booking.
'No queues' is about planning and experience. I choose times and places to avoid the busiest crowds and use options that speed up the visit — for example, group headset sets so no one needs to crowd around the guide.
For museums and popular attractions it's worth booking tickets in advance — if you want, I can help choose the best time and advise when to arrive to avoid the longest lines.
A no-steps route often goes along side streets and more comfortable passages while keeping the history and atmosphere intact. That way you can feel the spirit of Kazimierz without standing in crowds for hours.
Remember that at peak times (weekends, holidays, festivals) crowds are unavoidable — earlier booking and flexible timing increase the chances of a comfortable visit.
If you travel with a larger group or need tickets for a particular museum, let me know in advance — I will help plan the route and buy tickets when possible.
I approach every walk individually. When planning the route I consider: the mode of movement (pram, wheelchair, walking difficulties), the group's pace, the weather and participants' expectations.
In practice this means: choosing pavements with better surfaces, avoiding steep steps and narrow passages, planning frequent short breaks and pointing out nearby toilets and seating.
If someone uses a wheelchair, please mention it when booking — I will check and propose the most friendly and safe route possible.
Keep in mind cobbled surfaces: parts of Kazimierz have historic cobbles that can be less comfortable but are manageable or can be avoided by slower routes. We will always discuss details so every participant feels confident.
If you need extra support (assistance entering some places, shorter sections of the walk) — tell me in advance and I will adjust the plan.
Duration: usually 2–3 hours. Shorter (1–1.5 h) or longer options (3–4 h) are possible depending on the group's needs.
Indicative prices (for small groups as an example): 2 hours — prices start around 300–400 PLN, 3 hours — around 400–600 PLN, 4 hours — around 500–750 PLN. I provide an exact quote when booking, since the final price depends on duration, group size and any additional entries to attractions.
What to bring: comfortable shoes, water, a light coat or umbrella (Kraków weather can change), a camera. If someone needs a place to sit, a small folding stool can be useful for participants who tire easily.
Payments and bookings: booking in advance secures a convenient time. I usually confirm via the website or e-mail; I will inform you about details and any deposit when arranging the date.
Note on museums: if you plan to enter a specific place (e.g. a temporary exhibition), I recommend booking tickets beforehand — this significantly shortens waiting time.
I organize the walk primarily in Polish, but I also offer tours in English — please include your preferred language when booking.
I adapt routes for different groups: families with children, seniors, school groups, individual tourists and small groups of friends. The pace is adjusted to participants — no one will be left behind.
If you are traveling alone and want to join a small group, check available dates or ask about a private walk at a time that suits you.
Important: I avoid overly long stretches without breaks and make sure the pace allows for taking photos and asking questions.
I focus on a personalized experience for my guests and do not discuss other guides or competing offers.
Is the route suitable for a wheelchair? - Yes, I can propose a route as adapted as possible for a wheelchair, but it is best to report this when booking so we can discuss details.
Do I need to book museum tickets in advance? - If you plan to visit a popular attraction, I recommend booking tickets beforehand. I will help plan such a visit.
How far in advance should I book the tour? - Ideally a few days in advance, and during the tourist season a few weeks ahead.
Are there breaks for coffee or a meal? - Yes, I plan short breaks; if you want, we can include a longer stop at a specific café or restaurant.
Can I request a themed route? - Of course. I also lead thematic walks: culinary, historical or film-related — always adapted to participants' comfort.
What if the weather is bad? - Walks usually run in most weather; in case of heavy rain we can postpone the tour or adapt the route to reduce time spent outdoors.
The easiest way to book is to do so in advance, giving the date, approximate number of participants and any accessibility needs (stroller, seniors, etc.).
Booking and questions: feel free to contact me via the ZwiedzanieKrakowa.com website or directly by e-mail — I will ask for necessary details and quickly confirm the date.
When we get in touch we'll set route details: preferred time (morning/noon/evening), walk length, any museum entries and accessibility requirements.
Remember: booking ahead gives you the best chance of a convenient time and allows me to prepare a personalized route.
I am happy to answer additional questions and help plan your day in Kraków so it is pleasant and safe — full of experiences without unnecessary tiredness.
If you want to discover Kazimierz differently — comfortably, attentively and with passion — I invite you to join a walk. I will tell stories, show places worth seeing and help you feel the atmosphere of this extraordinary district.
See you in Kraków! — Małgorzata Kasprowicz
