Description

Experience a profound journey from Krakow to Oświęcim, Poland, where you will visit the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum, the largest Nazi concentration camp complex from World War II. This full-day tour offers a powerful insight into history, honoring the memory of over 1.3 million victims.

Your visit begins with roundtrip transportation by bus or minivan, ensuring a comfortable ride to the memorial. Upon arrival, you will spend about 1.5 hours at Auschwitz I, exploring the permanent exhibitions housed within the original prisoners' barracks. Here, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the site’s tragic history.

The tour continues at Auschwitz II-Birkenau, the largest section of the camp complex. Over 1.5 to 2 hours, you will witness the remnants of crematories, the infamous unloading ramp, and the memorial dedicated to the camp’s last victims. Depending on the season, your visit order may vary.

Choose between a guided tour with a certified expert or a self-guided experience using a multilingual guidebook and map on your phone. Entry passes are included with select ticket options. Please remember to bring your ID for verification, as entry requirements are strictly enforced by the museum.

This experience lasts approximately 6.5 hours and accommodates small groups for a more personal visit. Due to the emotional nature and duration of the tour, plan your day accordingly. Secure your spot now to ensure availability for this important and moving historical experience.
