Itinerary

1. Panstwowe Muzeum Auschwitz-Birkenau

• Start your tour by visiting the museum at Auschwitz-Birkenau memorial • Visit the three concentration camps housed in the complex with a guide • Guided tour of the Wieliczka salt mines • Return to Krakow on the same day Spread over 191 hectares of land, the museum is symbolic of the atrocities suffered by the victims living in the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camps. With ruins of gas chambers and the crematoria being a part of the museum grounds, your visit can help you imagine the carnage that took place on the same grounds less than a century ago. The rest of the complex offers equally poignant experiences and deep insight into the unfathomable pain and horrors of the 1.2 million people who led their fateful lives in these concentration camps. During the course of this guided tour, an experienced English-speaking guide will accompany you through the complex sharing important information about various parts of the camps and helping you better understand the significance of these camp relics.
