Additional Information

Embark on a single-day journey to both Auschwitz-Birkenau and the Salt Mine. Auschwitz-Birkenau stands as the most substantial death camp throughout history. Regarded as a symbol of severe terror, genocide and human atrocities globally, it was constructed by the Nazis in 1940 in Oswiecim. It is believed that over 1.5-million individuals from 28 different nationality groups perished here, with nearly 90% of the victims being Jews.

Following the Auschwitz-Birkenau tour, explore the Wieliczka salt mine, a prestigious monument of Polish cultural history. Every year, over a million tourists worldwide visit this distinctive location, featured on the UNESCO Cultural and Natural World Heritage List. The artistry of miners is preserved through dozens of salt sculptures and bas-reliefs. The mine involves climbing 800 steps, with the first 350 leading down into the mine. A lift is available at the end of the tour for returning to the surface.

Outstanding Experience - Amazing Krakow is a very professional and highly dependable local tour operator. They offer a variety of day tours in comfortable vehicles. We were promptly picked up at our hotel and driven to Auschwitz-Birkenau. Our driver handed us our entrance tickets when we arrived and stayed with us until our tour group was met by the local guide. Auschwitz-Birkenau is a significant historical site in Poland. Our site guide was highly knowledgable and the tour was thorough. As the tour ended, our Amazing Krakow driver met us to continue our day outing. After taking us to a restaurant near the Salt Mine to have a traditional Polish lunch, we were taken to the Salt Mine entrance and given our tickets. This underground salt structure is like nothing you’ve ever seen before! It was surreal! You walk for some of the tour to see rooms carved from salt - and statues and sculptures. Then you board little train cars and continue to the tour of the mine. It was totally amazing! I highly recommend Amazing Krakow Tours!
