Description

Begin your day with a visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau, a place that symbolizes the greatest tragedy in human history. While a visit to this former concentration camp is a difficult and moving experience, it is also incredibly important. As you pass through the gate with the inscription 'Arbeit macht frei', feel the weight of history. See the original barracks, guard towers, and memorials to the victims. Your guide will respectfully and sensitively help you understand the scale of the Holocaust and pay tribute to those who suffered. After this emotional journey through time, head to the Wieliczka Salt Mine. This is a completely different story—a tale of human ingenuity, perseverance, and beauty created by nature and man. Have time for lunch before descending underground. With your guide, wander through the subterranean corridors, admire breathtaking chambers carved in salt, and discover the Chapel of St. Kinga, a majestic underground sanctuary entirely sculpted from salt. The clean air and salty microclimate will further refresh your senses.
