About the tour

Auschwitz-Birkenau — what to know

Auschwitz-Birkenau in Oświęcim, ~70 km from Krakow, was the German Nazi concentration and extermination camp — the largest site of the Holocaust and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Around 1.1 million people, most of them Jews, were murdered here. It receives over 2 million visitors a year.

The visit covers two parts: Auschwitz I (blocks, exhibitions, the "Arbeit macht frei" gate) and Auschwitz II-Birkenau (the railway, barracks, ruins of the crematoria), with a licensed educator guide from the Museum. Sightseeing takes ~3.5 hours.

This is a memorial — moving and demanding. The Museum does not admit children under 14. Privately you travel at your own pace, with no group rush. Plan: ~8:00 pickup, ~9:20 Auschwitz, ~13:00 time on site/lunch, ~15:00 return. Total: 6–7 hours.
