Embark on a 7-hour journey from Krakow to visit the biggest one-time Nazi concentration camp. Gain insight into the Nazi slogan of ‘Arbeit Macht Frei’ and the mass killings of World War II. Examine the gas chambers and dormitories with a certified English-speaking guide from Auschwitz Birkenau State Museum.
- Panstwowe Muzeum Auschwitz-Birkenau - First, travel by minivan for 1 hour and 20 minutes before you arrive at the camp.
Founded on 27 April 1940, Auschwitz became the site of extermination by inhumane conditions and physical destruction of prisoners. It was the biggest death camp of the Nazi regime and during your tour a licensed guide will sensitively take you to see the barbed wire fences, watchtowers, barracks, gallows and gas chambers; these depict the circumstances under which the Nazi genocide took place. Spend 2 hours here with a short 20 minute break.
You will also visit Birkenau, a short 5-minute drive from Auschwitz. Birkenau comprised of more than 300 buildings, including latrines, watchtowers and gas chambers. Although a challenge, it’s important to remember these events to make sure that this history is never repeated.
