Overview
Explore Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum and learn about the infamous Holocaust with skip-the-line admission to this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Start this intriguing tour from Krakow city centre. You can also choose to be picked up from your hotel. While on your way to the site, watch a short documentary film - The Liberation of Auschwitz. Once you reach the camp site, you will meet your guide, who will take you inside Auschwitz. You will see the infamous inscription ‘Arbeit Macht Frei’ over the entrance gate, which translates to – “work makes you free”. During the tour, you will realise how ironic the slogan is.
Discover the history of World War II and the Holocaust in Poland as you tour the museum and preserved sights, such as barracks, railroad tracks or rows of gas chambers chimneys. It is a truly haunting experience as you step back in time and relive the incarceration, suffering and torture of millions of Jews, one of the heinous and gruesome episodes in world history.
End the tour with return transfers to your hotel in Krakow city centre or any other place of your choice on the way.

Customer Reviews
The gentleman that picked us up from our hotel was timely and very nice. It was great to be able to skip the line especially since everyone there was waiting outside in the cold. Very easy pick up and drop off at our hotel.
Excellent and informative day delivered with an educator demonstrating compassion and knowledge for the subject. <br /><br />Highly recommended.
Extremely sombre but factual experience that everyone in their lifetime should witness the atrocities that took place on adults and children. The guide was professional, articulate and had his own historical affiliation to the mass killings & few survivors.
Tour guides were lovely, knowledgable and so helpful. Would definitely recommend to other travellers!...
