    Limited to 15 Visitors: Auschwitz & Birkenau Guided Tour from Krakow

    7 hours

    Easy

    Reduce the number of visitors by half (15 vs. 30) compared to a regular tour. Choose a convenient option without crowds of tourists in your group.


    Visit UNESCO World Heritage Site, a former Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz-Birkenau, where more than a million Jews and other prisoners were oppressed or killed during World War II. The flower strewn Death Wall, national memorials, gas chambers and crematoriums, preserved ruins, the remains of hundreds of barracks, watchtowers, the railway line and ramp - all this forms a moving testimony to the number of those who lost their lives. The tour is led by a sensitive, licensed and local guide which helps to understand the touching history and cruel things that happened there.

    • Learn the history of World War II, Nazi Holocaust and the liberation
