Travel from Krakow to the small town of Oświęcim to visit the largest Nazi concentration camp complex from World War II. Learn the horrifying story of the more than 1.3 million victims who lost their lives at Auschwitz and Birkenau and pay your respects.

The first part of your trip is a 2-hour visit to the Auschwitz I camp to see the permanent exhibition in the former prisoners' barracks.

Afterwards, spend between 1.5-2hrs at Auschwitz II Birkenau, the largest of the more than 40 camps and sub-camps that made up the Auschwitz complex. See remnants of the crematories, the unloading ramp, remaining barracks and the monument dedicated to the last victims of the camp.

Please note depending on the time of year, you may visit Birkenau camp first before then visiting Auschwitz 1 camp.

For the self guided option you will have use of a guidebook and map in your chosen language.

Our company Tour Leader does not enter the museum with you.
