What to expect
If you are visiting Kraków, Auschwitz is one of the most significant places to see. A visit to a world-famous symbol of the Holocaust and memorial to the victims of the Nazis is a unique chance to learn about their history. During the Auschwitz-Birkenau tour, you will both visit Auschwitz and Birkenau and acquire a sense of the symbolically important place of the Holocaust and Nazi crimes.
Your Auschwitz-Birkenau tour starts in Kraków. Once all participants are picked-up, you'll head towards Oświęcim, a town located around 60 kilometers from Kraków. During this ride, you will be able to prepare yourself for a visit by watching a documentary movie. Once you arrive, you'll first visit Auschwitz I and then Auschwitz II Birkenau during a guided tour.
