Description

Discover the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum on a fully organized day trip from Krakow, including round-trip transport, entry tickets, and a live, licensed guide. Begin your journey with a comfortable pickup from your hotel or apartment in Krakow. Travel in an air-conditioned vehicle to Oświęcim, the site of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial — one of the most important historical landmarks in the world. Upon arrival, meet your licensed local guide certified by the museum, who will accompany you through both parts of the former concentration and extermination camp. Start at Auschwitz I, walking under the notorious “Arbeit macht frei” gate. Explore the preserved barracks and authentic museum exhibitions while learning about the lives and stories of the people imprisoned here. Continue to Auschwitz II–Birkenau, the largest section of the complex, where over one million people perished. Walk along the original railway tracks and see the haunting remains of gas chambers and wooden barracks. Your guide will explain the camp’s role in the Nazi “Final Solution” and help you understand its historical and human significance. This experience is designed to be respectful, educational, and deeply moving, offering a chance to reflect on one of the darkest chapters in human history. After the visit, relax on your return journey to Krakow, with time to process everything you have seen and learned.
