    Panstwowe Muzeum Auschwitz-Birkenau

    Start your tour to Auschwitz-Birkenau from Krakow in a comfortable, air-conditioned van and enjoy a scenic drive of approximately 1.5 hours. Upon arrival, take a short break before beginning your visit to Auschwitz I, where you will follow the permanent exhibition located in the former prisoners’ barracks and see original artifacts that once belonged to the camp’s inmates, while learning about the history of the site through informative explanations. After completing your visit to Auschwitz I, continue to Auschwitz II–Birkenau, where you will spend about one hour exploring the camp, including the remains of barracks, crematoria, and the unloading ramp. After the visit, meet your driver at the designated meeting point and relax on the return journey to Krakow.
