Full description
After pickup from your accommodation in Warsaw, step back in time and learn more about one of the darkest chapters in European history. Auschwitz was the largest of the German Nazi concentration camps and extermination centers. Over 1.1 million men, women and children lost their lives there. Funded by the Nazi party in 1940, Auschwitz-Birkenau became both a symbol of Holocaust, human suffering and a witness to physical and emotional exhaustion.
Follow an official guide to the main sights and buildings, and learn more about the terrible events that took place in different areas of the camp. Take a break and recharge with a lunch of traditional polish dumplings before you make your way to the camp at Birkenau, located about 3 kilometers from Auschwitz.
After a day of understanding one of the most harrowing periods of modern history, benefit from a private transfer to take you quietly and easily back to your accommodation.
