Explore the historic Nazi concentration camps of Auschwitz and Birkenau on a half-day tour from Krakow, and uncover Poland’s most significant UNESCO World Heritage site. Depart from Krakow and journey to the town of Oświęcim to visit the largest concentration camp complex from World War II.
- Panstwowe Muzeum Auschwitz-Birkenau - During this trip, you will learn about the harrowing story of over 1.3 million victims who perished at Auschwitz and Birkenau. The tour is divided into two parts. The first part is a 2-hour visit to the Auschwitz I camp, where you will see a permanent exhibition held in former prisoner barracks, covering aspects such as:
The Building and Expansion of Auschwitz Concentration Camps, Places of Deportations, Categories of Prisoners, Life in the Camp, Fate of Children, Punishments and Executions, Medical Experiments, Resistance, Evacuation, Liberation, and The Number of Victims.
After the 2-hour visit to the Auschwitz I camp, you will proceed to Auschwitz II Birkenau—the largest of the more than 40 camps and sub-camps that made up the Auschwitz complex. Here, you will see sites of extermination, including remnants of the crematories, the unloading ramp, remaining barracks, and a memorial monument dedicated to the camp’s last victims. The visit to Birkenau also lasts 2 hours, after which you will be taken directly to Krakow.
