Poznan's Old Town hides grim stories behind its colorful facades. This 2-hour ghost walk covers executions, plagues and local legends, led by a guide who trades in the city's darker chapters. Tickets start at $51 per person.
This two hour walk starts at a cemetery gate, which sets the tone immediately. The meeting point is the entrance to the Cemetery of Distinguished Wielkopolska Residents on St. Adalbert's Hill, and from there a guide from Poznań City Guides leads the group through the historic core of the city after dark, telling stories of mysterious events, odd characters and the grimmer chapters of local history.
The route runs through the centre in stages: a stop at Skwer Włodzimierza Dworzaczka, then the monument to King Przemysł II, then the Old Market Square, then Wrocławska 17, ending in Chwaliszewo. At each stop the guide pauses to tell a story, so the pace is walk, stop, listen, repeat. The commentary runs in English and leans on atmosphere rather than dates and monument names.
It suits travellers who already know the standard sights and want a different angle on the city, and it is pitched at participants aged 14 and over. Nothing beyond the guiding service is included, so eat beforehand and arrange your own transport to and from the meeting point. Cancel up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund.
