- Majdanek State Museum - After the pick-up, your guide drives towards Lublin, approximately 190 kilometres from Warsaw (a 2.5-hours drive). It’s a chance to experience the Polish countryside and ask your guide all the questions you can imagine. He’s your host; his passion is to make you understand Poland and its history. Majdanek was a Nazi German concentration and extermination camp established on Lublin’s outskirts during Poland’s German occupation in World War II. The camp, which operated from October 1, 1941, until July 22, 1944, was captured nearly intact because the Soviet Red Army’s rapid advance prevented the SS from destroying most of its infrastructure. This site remains the best-preserved extermination camp of the Holocaust. It seems to be overshadowed by the Auschwitz camp museum, which is, sadly, overcrowded and has become a destination for mass tourism nowadays. Majdanek museum is a place one can visit without rush, in quiet and with respect to those who ended their lives there.
