Overview

Visiting Auschwitz-Birkenau is a solemn and morbid journey, but one worth the price. The unassuming towns of Oświęcim and Brzezinka, only an hour from Kraków, are the site of a horrifying tragedy. The Auschwitz-Birkenau complex embodies the grim objective of the Holocaust - gathering and exterminating masses of people in inhuman ways and conditions. Initially planned to serve primarily as a concentration camp, Auschwitz-Birkenau was transformed into a factory of death. The cold and ruthless industrial design of this genocide camp murdered around 1,5 million people.

Every year, countless visitors from across the entire world come to Auschwitz to commemorate these victims and never forget what took place there. For those doing it for the first time, a guide-assisted trip is the best choice. No amount of reading about it can compare to seeing the gas chambers and crematoria with your own eyes. This experience will stay with you for the rest of your life.

Meeting and Pickup

Pickup point
Pickup details

The pickups are provided between 5:30 and 7:30, depending on your accommodation and our schedules. The pickup time is always confirmed by text and email the day before the tour. If your hotel is not listed, please add a remark, and we will pick you up from any accommodation (also Airbnb) located within Krakow City limits. You can also choose one of our pickup points. Failing to provide the pickup location 24 hours prior to the service will result in assigning the meeting point, which might not be close to the customer's accommodation. Please note that if your hotel is located in the city center or Jewish Quarter, the pickup will be directly from the accommodation, but after the tour, you might be dropped off at the closest dropoff point. If your accommodation is located outside Krakow city limits, it is possible to be picked up at an additional charge. For example pickup from Krakow airport is 33€. The price always depends on the distance from Krakow and a number of people.

Panstwowe Muzeum Auschwitz-Birkenau

Guaranteed entry tickets! Visit the most well-known former concentration camp and the place of the biggest and most tragic genocide in the world history – The Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum that has witnessed death of around 1.5 million people committed by the Nazis. During your trip, you will visit Auschwitz I, which was the first and main part of the camp but also served as administrative headquarters for the whole complex and Birkenau, which was initially designed as a concentration camp and quickly turned into the main place of the genocide with gas chambers and crematoria. Birkenau was also the place where women’s camp was located. It definitely is a must-see place in Poland, but also in Europe altogether.
