The first two camps are about 3 kilometers apart, and any Auschwitz tour will take you to both of them. The third camp was a labor camp and there’s nothing left of it currently, save a memorial on the road.

  • Ensure your backpack or handbag does not exceed dimensions: 30x20x10 cm. There are lockers available for a small fee, but they tend to get full during peak season.
  • You need to pay 2 PLN to use the toilets inside the memorial.
  • If you are not familiar with the history of Auschwitz or any other concentration camp, we recommend that you read about the holocaust before your trip. Here are some books to get started on, and if you like movies more than books, here are some suggestions to help explain this better. 
  • Visitors can photograph the insides of the Auschwitz Memorial but avoid flat photography and pay attention to the No Photography signs inside.
  • It is recommended to not bring children aged 14 and under to the museum as the experience can be too traumatic for them.
Auschwitz Tickets food

Auschwitz I has a cafeteria that provides meals and water, but if you want to explore other options, here’s what we suggest:

  • Bistro Bilard: If you are looking to eat some pizza and chase it down with some cold beer, look no further than this no-frills joint across the street from the camp.
  • Kebab Pizza Burger Allis: A 12-minute walk away, the restaurant offers a wide selection of Italian, American and Turkish dishes. Their burgers come highly recommended.
  • A La Carte: For those looking to enjoy an authentic Polish meal, head on to this restaurant, only 1 km away from the Auschwitz Memorial and Museum.
