Detailed Itinerary
The journey, in full
Auschwitz is known all over the world as a symbol of terror, genocide, and the Holocaust. During the II World War, it was the largest concentration camp of Nazi Germany, established in the suburbs of the city of Oswiecim (Auschwitz in German), approximately 60 kilometers west of Krakow. Auschwitz and Birkenau, the two camps were liberated in January 1945. After the War, Polish government decided to restore Auschwitz – Birkenau and turn it into a museum honoring the victims of Nazism. Now it is part of the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. Our Tour to Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum takes approximately 6 hours. The tour can be extended upon request for an additional charge and you may stop for a lunch after the tour with no extra charges. We usually arrange to pick up time at around 8.30 a.m. or 9.30 a.m. but we are flexible as the afternoon Tours are also available. The ride with our English - speaking driver lasts for about 1 h each way – the remaining time is for the sightseeing of Auschwitz and Birkenau, where you have a tour with a professional guide (group tour). As the exhibits in Auschwitz and Birkenau are very well posted, walking your own in the Camps comes as an alternative.
