- Auschwitz-Birkenau
Located some 67 kilometres from Krakow is the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum & Memorial. Auschwitz is a name so connected with terror and suffering due to it being the largest Nazi death camp in World War II with between 1.1 million and 1.5 million people tragically murdered here.
A visit to Auschwitz can easily be included on a short break to Krakow. It is a place that everyone should visit once in their lifetime and in some small way, honour all those lives lost.
Nothing prepares you for the sight of those grim words Arbeit Macht Frei ("Work makes you free") as you make your way silently through these gates trying to imagine how prisoners must have felt years before.
Auschwitz tours are run amazingly well given the huge number of people visiting,allowing just enough time and information in each place for you to gain an insight into the horror, but not to feel completely overwhelmed by grief at the enormity of the suffering.
Each red-bricked building depicts haunting images of people and their personal belongings. Especially poignant are the suitcases upon which the Nazis made the owners write their home addresses, giving them a mocking belief that they would one day return home.
Whilst a visit here is undoubtedly chilling, it is also an important part of the country’s history and a testament to the postwar generation.
Visit Auschwitz on our Classic Poland Group Tour , an 8 day guided tour encompassing Poland's highlights. We also offer a guided Auschwitz visit, which can be included on any of our Krakow City Breaks . This 6-hour excursion includes coach, transfers, museum entry fee and guide.

What people love about Auschwitz Tours
An amazing tour of Krakow that includes breathtaking views of Old Town cathedrals and castles. A visit to Auschwitz - Birkenau and other historical sights connected to Schindler's List and the Jewish Ghetto. A great mix of history, culture, and architecture with time enough to explore on your own or rejuvenate in the comfort of your hotel.
Did their Krakow, Poland trip in December during the Christmas markets. Really a great trip and experience. Everything was very organized, had really good hotel near the square/old town (I booked the 3-star hotel, private room option with my husband), guides were very good & knowledgeable and the excursions/tours were very good. We also received a lot of extra information and recommendations for things to do and places to go (food and drink too) in our free time which was really nice and helpful. I was a bit nervous reading a few of the reviews here on Yelp but our experience was fantastic and nothing like what some others wrote in their reviews. Krakow was an amazing city and one of the most beautiful in Europe. Definitely recommend this trip and company.
I had a great first time experience of Krakow through this tour. My tour guide Seweryn was very friendly, flexible, organised and helpful and made the whole process very smooth. The trips to the mine, factory and camps were well laid out and gave me plenty of time for independent sightseeing and fun. If you want to come to Krakow I would highly recommend you do a trip this way!
