About the tour

A trip to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum is a specific encounter with the history of Nazi cruelty and the fate of the Holocaust victims, which is the saddest in the history of humanity. During the tour, tourists will see a permanent exhibition, original camp buildings in the main part of the complex (Auschwitz), and the most important sites in Brzezinka (Birkenau). Konzentrationslager (KL) Auschwitz was established as a result of Nazi policy conducted in the territory of occupied Poland in order to destroy the Polish state by means of mass deportations and systematic extermination. The KL Auschwitz camp was the largest Nazi concentration camp and extermination center, so we ask that you maintain due respect to the memory of the victims. During the tour, the group will be accompanied by an experienced museum guide who will tell tourists step by step about the sad fate of the camp victims. The entire sightseeing tour, including travel, will last around 7-8 hours – the visit to the first part of the Museum will take 2 hours, and the visit to Birkenau will take approximately 1 hour. Please remember that the program of the trip does not include any lunch break. Because the camp is situated in a vast open space, please remember to take clothes that will give you adequate protection against the prevailing weather conditions.

IMPORTANT: The time of the departure may change. If so the information will be sent 1 day before the tour.
