Full description
After being picked up from your hotel or apartment in Krakow, you'll drive for approximately 1.5 hours to reach the memorial site. Once on site, you'll get help finding your group of visitors with whom you have previously purchased tickets on your own.
You'll then discover how during World War II, this complex was the largest and most deadly prison of all time. You'll also discover where the Nazis murdered as many as 4 million people. In 1947, almost immediately after the war ended, the camps were transformed into a museum. Since then visitors can see the conditions people were forced to live in, and literally feel the enormity of the atrocities perpetrated upon them.
Visiting the Auschwitz Museum lasts a maximum of 2.5 hours, and the Birkenau camp a maximum of 1 hour. At the conclusion of your experience, you will be transferred back to Krakow.
