Itinerary:

Kazimierz
Begin at the heart of Kazimierz, where your guide introduces the district’s turbulent 20th-century history and the chilling background of Karol Kot. 

The Poisoned Beer
Learn about Kot’s early twisted experiments: arsenic-laced beer bottles left in plain sight, and his fascination with death, self-harm, and slaughterhouses in the grim reality of communist-era Kraków.

The Skilled Marksman
Discover Kot’s double life as an accomplished shooter in a youth paramilitary organization and how his obsession with knives and violence escalated behind a façade of discipline and precision.

The First Serious Attack
Stand where Kot’s early knife attack shocked the community. Explore how law enforcement first took his crimes seriously – and how his lack of a robbery motive hinted at something far darker.

The First Murder
Visit the site near where Kot committed his first fatal stabbing. Learn how the city’s elderly began wearing pots on their heads in fear.

Escalation of Violence
Trace the moment Kot crossed the point of no return – from murdering a child to nearly killing another just weeks later. Dive into the disturbing calmness with which he operated.

The Police Investigation
Explore the city-wide manhunt: school inspections, student interrogations, and the chilling testimonies from Kot’s classmates that eventually helped identify him.

The Breakthrough
Hear about the brave student who reported Kot’s threats, leading to his arrest. Examine the forensic evidence that tied him to the crimes and the crucial victim identifications.
Karol Kot’s Home and Final Fate
End the tour outside the killer’s former residence. Uncover the psychological profile of a remorseless killer, his trial, and execution – and the strange tales told by later residents of his haunted apartment.
