Haunting exploration of Auschwitz-Birkenau

Travel comfortably from Krakow in an air-conditioned vehicle to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial Museum. Step through the iron gate of KL Auschwitz 1, etched with the deceptive words 'Work Sets You Free', and explore the haunting remnants of the 22 brick barracks that once housed hundreds of thousands of Holocaust victims.

A glimpse into the unthinkable

Here, you will be led to block 11, notoriously known as 'the prison within the prison', home to brutal torture chambers and initial extermination attempts using Zyklon B. The tour continues to KL Auschwitz 2 Birkenau, where over 1 million lives were lost. This engaging, expert-guided tour, available in the language of your preference, concludes with a reflective visit to the Memorial, where you can pay your respects to the victims of this horrific genocide.
