Why visit Auschwitz?

Auschwitz tour

Things to know before booking your Auschwitz tour

  • There are several Auschwitz tour options available, allowing you to select the one that best suits your budget, starting location, and preferred type of experience.
  • You can select a tour based on your current location, as there are tours departing from Krakow, Katowice, Warsaw, and Wrocław. All the tours include round-trip transfers in AC vehicles, with options for meeting point or hotel pickup and drop-off. Opt for round-trip hotel transfers for a completely hassle-free experience.
  • Almost all Auschwitz tours like Auschwitz-Birkenau guided tour with fast track tickets and Auschwitz-Birkenau guided tour from Krakow offer fast-track entry, allowing you to pass through the security line and start your tour as quickly as possible.
  • All the Auschwitz-Birkenau tours are guided experiences with professional Auschwitz guides available in up to 7 languages. However, the languages offered vary depending on the specific tour, so be sure to check the language options available for each tour to ensure a comfortable experience.
  • Take a guided tour of Auschwitz sub-camps, exploring lesser-known yet equally haunting sites with profound historical significance. The ticket includes entry fees to all sub-camps and an optional lunch. However, please note that this tour does not cover the interiors of Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camps.
  • The Combo tour from Krakow allows you to to go on a guided tour of two UNESCO sites in a day, Auschwitz-Birkenau and the Wieliczka Salt Mine. This ticket provides both value and convenience. You get a full day of historical exploration with an option to choose round-trip transfers from your hotel or a meeting point in Krakow.
  • Smaller group sizes of up to 8 people are available for Auschwitz tours from Warsaw, ensuring a more intimate experience. Tours from Krakow, Katowice, or Wrocław may include larger group sizes but maintain high-quality guided service with fast-track entry and round-trip transfers in AC buses.
  • The Auschwitz-Birkenau guided tour from Krakow, Combo tour from Krakow, and Auschwitz sub-camps tour offer an option to include lunch in your experience, which can be a great add-on for these long duration tours. Other tours do not include meals, so remember to bring your own food or snacks, especially for full-day experiences.
  • Please note that both Auschwitz camps have limited disabled access, and seating options are sparse. Additionally, it's not recommended for children under 14 to visit Auschwitz.
  • Bring a valid photo ID with your tickets for entry into Auschwitz. Any official ID with a clear photo will suffice.

Auschwitz tour highlights

Auschwitz-Birkenau is made up of three parts: Auschwitz I, Auschwitz II-Birkenau, and Auschwitz III-Monowitz. 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.

Auschwitz tips
  • There is a lot of walking involved. Wear comfortable shoes and carry plenty of drinking water. Both camps have limited disabled access, and there are only a few spots inside to sit and rest.
  • 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.
