What to expect

Feel organized with the pickup service included on this day. Plus, you'll skip the queue and learn with the guided tour.

You'll depart Kraków and go on a journey to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum. There, experience what it's like to explore the largest concentration camp in Poland built by the Nazis. Increase your knowledge with an informative guide and a tour filled with stories and facts of both the Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II labor camps.

After a short break for lunch on arrival, get shown around Auschwitz I to see the infamous Arbeit Macht Frei sign and some of the administration buildings where the horrors were planned. Look inside the gas chamber where the Nazis committed their hideous genocide, and see personal artifacts belonging to inmates at exhibitions dedicated to their memory.

Benefit from a short 15-minute break before going to the Birkenau camp for a 1-hour guided tour. Discover where the prisoners entered the camp and the wooden barracks where they were forced to live. Return to Kraków with your thoughts and get dropped off at a place of your choice in the Old Town or Old Jewish Quarter.
