On this day trip to Auschwitz-Birkenau, we'll take you to the most famous concentration camp in the world, where you can explore this historic site at your own pace.

Important: This product is subject to certain specific terms and conditions, which you can find at the bottom of this page.

Day Trip Details

At the scheduled time, we’ll meet at 17 Floriana Straszewskiego Street, and, from there, we'll leave Kraków behind and head to the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp.

After a journey of approximately 1.15 hours, we'll reach the small town of Oświęcim, which witnessed the horror of Nazism between 1940 and 1945. In this period of World War II, the Third Reich built the concentration camps of Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau, where terrible atrocities were committed against mainly Jews and prisoners of war.

Today, these spaces form part of the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum. During your tour of this museum, you can visit the area where camp inmates were held. The cell block, barracks, and latrines still carry the gloomy, run-down atmosphere from that time. The crematorium ovens, gas chambers, and even the barbed wire surrounding the entire site echo the horrors of the past.

During the tour, you can also see the famous train tracks in Auschwitz, which once carried thousands of condemned people from all over Europe toward a cruel fate. Also, during your visit, you can check the English-language brochure available to learn more about the history of every corner of this haunting place.

After finishing your tour of Auschwitz, 2.5 hours later, we'll regroup to begin our journey back to the starting point in Kraków, where we'll arrive after 8.5 hours.
