Visit the former concentration camps of Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau on this 7-hour trip from Krakow. By June 1940, the camp had begun receiving individuals, including political prisoners, marking the start of an unimaginable chapter in history. Your journey begins in Krakow, with a 45-minute drive to Auschwitz, where a short documentary is shown to offer deeper insight into the camp’s liberation. Upon arrival, you’ll receive important information about the museum and its protocols before beginning the guided tour, with entry arranged to avoid the queues.
The Museum is divided into two parts: Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau. After completing the first part, there will be a brief pause before continuing to Birkenau, where the largest facilities were constructed. Many lives were tragically lost here, and by 1944, over 100,000 individuals were held in this camp, which spanned nearly 200 hectares. Walking through the preserved grounds, you will witness the ruins of barracks, gas chambers, and other haunting remnants of this dark period in history. After the tour, you will be safely transported back to Krakow, reflecting on the strength and resilience of those who endured these events.
