Overview

Auschwitz-Birkenau, located near Oswiecim, is the largest Nazi death camp and a significant historical site with over 1.1 million victims. This day trip includes a shared transfer from Krakow, where a live guide leads a visit to the Auschwitz I camp, including the permanent exhibition in the former prisoner blocks, followed by a tour of Birkenau, the largest extermination camp built by the Nazis in Europe. The Auschwitz visit totals about 3 hours with breaks included. For those selecting the combination option, the tour continues after Auschwitz with a lunch break lasting one hour in Oswiecim, Krakow, or Wieliczka. Then, the group visits the Wieliczka Salt Mine, located 20 kilometers from Krakow’s Old Town. The guide leads visitors underground, descending 350 steps at the start and a total of 800 steps overall through the medieval salt mine, which features numerous salt sculptures and bas-reliefs created by miners. At the end of the mine route, a lift returns visitors to the surface. The entire tour lasts between 8 and 12 hours and includes all entrance fees, live guiding, headsets for the Auschwitz part, and air-conditioned transportation.
