What to expect

Visiting Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum is a sobering experience that will help you understand the enormity of human tragedy that happened during the Holocaust. On this guided tour, you’ll be picked up from your hotel in Krakow and taken by minivan to Poland’s most significant UNESCO World Heritage Site for an insightful day of education, remembrance and reflection.

You’ll visit both parts of the former concentration camp, starting with Auschwitz I. It still has the original barracks, which now exhibit the personal belongings that tell the haunting stories of those who were held here during World War II. These powerful displays are designed to honour their memory and provide a deeper understanding of the immense suffering they endured.

Your guide will walk you through the history of the site, and the harsh conditions those imprisoned here faced. At Birkenau, you’ll see the grounds, including the barracks, gas chambers and watchtower, plus the railway tracks where so many arrived. The guided tour takes around three and a half hours, plus you’ll have some extra time at the end to take it all in and quietly reflect before heading back to Krakow.
