What to expect
Take a day trip from Krakow to visit Auschwitz, where you'll explore the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camps with a guided tour led by a certified historian.
Established in 1940 by Nazi Germany, Auschwitz-Birkenau was the largest concentration camp under Nazi control and became the site of mass extermination for millions, primarily Jews and Poles, who were killed in gas chambers.
Begin your visit at Auschwitz I, entering through the gate bearing the infamous inscription "Arbeit macht frei." Your guide will lead you through the preserved site, providing insights into its true history. Afterwards, proceed to Birkenau, the second camp, where mass killings occurred as part of the Nazis' "Final Solution to the Jewish Question".
