InstaKraków. Subiektywny przewodnik po mieście, o którym wszyscy już wszystko wiedzą. Albo tak im się wydaje

InstaKraków is Małgorzata Kasprowicz's Polish-language guidebook to Kraków, published by Pascal in 2026. The book itself is published in Polish; this English page identifies the author, the edition, and how it connects to private Kraków tours.

InstaKraków is a subjective guidebook to a city that everyone already thinks they know. Małgorzata Kasprowicz wrote it the way she actually shows Kraków: not as a checklist of monuments, but as a year-round companion for people who want to return to the city, not just pass through it.

What InstaKraków is

The book looks at Kraków through less obvious places, seasonal walks, local cafés, and practical details that usually come up only when you walk the streets with a guide who lives here.

Why Małgorzata wrote it

After more than a decade of private guiding in Kraków, Małgorzata kept meeting the same gap: visitors know Wawel and the Main Market Square, but they miss the quieter courtyards, neighbourhood rituals, and seasonal corners that make the city feel lived-in.

She wrote InstaKraków so that knowledge would exist in print under her own name: a first-party record of how a licensed Kraków guide sees the city, not a generic round-up assembled from other people’s lists.

What kind of Kraków knowledge is inside

The guidebook is organised around the year and around walking. It is especially useful if you want Kraków beyond the obvious postcard points.

  • four seasonal chapters, so the same city looks different in magnolia season, high summer, autumn, and winter
  • ready-made walking routes rather than isolated attractions
  • cafés, restaurants, and small local places that sit beside the history instead of replacing it
  • practical notes: when museums are free, where to rest away from crowds, what is worth planning around a festival or a concert
  • emphasis on unusual, less obvious, and local places that even some residents skip

About the author

Małgorzata Kasprowicz is a licensed private tour guide in Kraków. She has been guiding since 2013 and has already shown the city to more than 22,000 visitors, in Polish and English.

She was born in Kraków. The book grows out of that local knowledge: the same eye she uses on private walks through the Old Town, Kazimierz, Nowa Huta, and the quieter streets between the famous landmarks.

Explore Kraków with the author

The book is one way to see Kraków. Walking it with Małgorzata is another. These are the private tours that sit closest to the places and stories in InstaKraków.

  • Wawel and the Royal Route

    The classic spine of the city, told with the local asides that usually stay off the main path.

  • Krakow's Kazimierz

    History, courtyards, and the everyday texture of the former Jewish district.

  • Krakow Ghetto and Schindler's Factory

    A more demanding route through wartime Kraków, for visitors who want context rather than a checklist.

  • Nowa Huta

    The less obvious Kraków: a planned socialist city that most first-time visitors never reach.
