Krakow Guide: Audio Tours

Self-guided audio tours of Kraków, written and recorded by Hleb, a local guide. See the Old Town, Wawel and Kazimierz at your own pace: no group, no schedule, no meeting point. Hleb was a journalist for seven years before he became a Kraków blogger and guide. He tells the city's past in plain words, and he says clearly which stories are facts and which are legends. HOW IT WORKS Put your headphones on, or play the stories out loud if you walk with someone. When you reach a stop, your phone buzzes, and three seconds later Hleb starts talking, even if the phone stays in your pocket. Everything is already in the app: there is nothing to download, and the stories play without mobile data. THE WALKS • Old Town and Wawel: 15 stops, 3.2 km. From the oldest wall on the Main Square to the Cloth Hall and St. Mary's, out through the Florian Gate to the Barbican, then past the old university and down Grodzka Street to Wawel Cathedral and the Royal Palace. • Kazimierz: 12 stops, 2 km. The old Jewish quarter with five synagogues, the Remuh cemetery and Plac Nowy, then Christian Kazimierz from Corpus Christi to Skałka. • Kraków Legends: 12 stops, 2.2 km. The Wawel Dragon and his den, Princess Wanda, the Zygmunt Bell, the sorcerer Pan Twardowski, the pigeons of the Main Square and the bugle call from St. Mary's. More walks are on the way. ON EVERY WALK • A map of the route • Every story as text too: read along, or read instead of listening • A short quiz at the end • Your Kraków Passport: stamps and points for every walk and quiz, and twelve ranks from Guest of the City to King of Kraków • Ask Hleb: once a walk is yours, sign in and send him a question about the walk or the city. He replies within a day. TRY IT FIRST The first stop of every walk is free. Each walk is a one-time purchase, not a subscription, and stays yours on every iPhone with your Apple ID. You don't need an account to walk. The app and all walks are in English. Your location is used only on your phone, to start the stories.
