Regular tour
Depart Krakow for a confronting day of reflection with a visit to the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp complex. Learn about the history of the concentration camps during a guided tour with a certified historian and guide.
Auschwitz-Birkenau was founded in 1940 by Nazi Germany and was the largest concentration camp operated by the Nazis. It became the final resting place for millions of people, mostly Jews and Poles, who were murdered in gas chambers.
Pass through the gate with the inscription “Arbeit macht frei” to enter Auschwitz I, where your guide will show you around the preserved area and explain the history of the site. Then, visit the second camp at Birkenau, where mass killings took place as part of the Nazi “Final Solution to the Jewish Question.”
