Visit Auschwitz-Birkenau from Kraków with ease. This tour includes guided visits and round-trip transfers for the most comfortable and informative experience.

Important: This product is subject to certain specific terms and conditions, which you can find at the bottom of this page.

Tour Details

We'll pick you up at the indicated time from your hotel in the center of Kraków, or at a nearby meeting point, and from there we'll travel by bus to Oświęcim.

Auschwitz I is located next to this town in southern Poland, near the border with the Czech Republic. Once there, we'll take a guided tour of this concentration camp for political prisoners. During the tour through the different prison blocks, we will see the so-called starvation cells, where the prisoners were left to die of starvation.

After this first part, we'll take a short break to digest all that we have witnessed. We'll then return to the bus to travel to the outskirts of Oświęcim, where we'll take a tour of the Auschwitz II-Birkenau concentration camp. This extermination center was built to carry out what the Nazis called the Final Solution to the Jewish problem.

Throughout our tour of this complex, we'll see the prisoners' barracks, the latrines, and the remains of the crematorium ovens and gas chambers. We'll also see the tracks of the trains that arrived at Auschwitz loaded with prisoners who never left alive.

During the tour, we'll talk about World War II and the social, economic, cultural, and political consequences of this conflict. We'll also learn about the historical events that led to this most bloody and deadly armed episode of the 20th century.

Finally, we'll return to the starting point in Krakow, where we'll conclude this 7 to 7.5-hour tour.

Important Info

Before booking, please keep the following in mind:

Documentation

The first and last names listed on the reservation must match the national ID documents you present on the day of the activity. If they do not match, you'll be denied entry. If you make separate reservations, you may not be assigned to the same group or vehicle.
Tickets are non-transferable, and only one change per reservation is allowed. This change may affect no more than 10% of the participants.

Guide

Visits to the camp may only be conducted by guides authorized by the camp itself, not by external guides. The assignment of guides and their languages is determined exclusively by the camp’s organization, and in some cases, the visit may include translation into the selected language. The pace and duration are determined by the camp itself and may be shortened due to extreme weather conditions (heat waves or storms).
All tour operators require a minimum group size to gain access to the field with a guide; therefore, if this minimum is not met, the activity may be canceled or rescheduled.
The field confirms the guide at 3 pm on the day before the tour, so the reservation is not confirmed until a guide has been assigned by the field. On our end, we reserve entry slots and a guide as soon as the minimum group size is reached; however, in the case of last-minute reservations, guides may not be available, and the activity could be canceled. We remind you of the importance of being easily reachable at the phone number provided in the reservation in case of any changes.

Schedule and Pickup Points

During the booking process, you will be shown a drop-down list with different hotels and meeting points in the center of Kraków. If your accommodation is not on the list, you will have to select a hotel or meeting point from the list that is closest to your accommodation.

The pickup time is subject to change. The tour can begin between 5 am and 1:30 pm; the time selected on the website is not guaranteed.The exact pickup time or meeting point will be communicated the day before the tour via email, WhatsApp, and other available means. If the departure time changes, we will contact you. Otherwise, the originally scheduled time will remain the same. Please plan your day so that it accommodates the pickup time. Transportation will be by bus or minibus, depending on the size of the group.

Other Activities at Auschwitz

If you prefer, you can choose one of the following activities:

Auschwitz Tour from Krakow: we'll pick you up at a central point in Kraków.
Self-Guided Day Trip to Auschwitz-Birkenau: if you opt for this activity, you will tour the concentration camp on your own, without a guide.
Auschwitz-Birkenau Private Day Trip: this option allows you to visit the concentration camp with a guide exclusively for you.
