Step by Step

You've seen it in many films, some particularly moving ones like Schindler's List or The Pianist: Auschwitz is sadly the world's best-known concentration camp. The truth is that experiencing it in situ on this tour will, as you might expect, be even more moving. But why do we recommend such a tough visit? The answer is engraved on one of the Auschwitz barracks: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it".

And that is the largest Nazi concentration camp in history, a living reminder of the tragedy that ravaged the world during World War II. Don't remember what it was built for? Don't worry, in order to better understand the historical context and learn in detail about the events that took place there, you will be accompanied throughout the tour by a guide, which is essential for this type of visit.

Auschwitz-Birkenau is a huge complex built by the Nazi German authorities in 1940 in the suburbs of Oświęcim, 50 km from Kraków. To get there, the best option is to book this tour with return transfers included from Kraków. It will save you all the organisation. It's very easy: just book the day and time that suits you best and be ready at the meeting point to start your trip.

Entrance to the two main camps is included in this package. You'll walk on the ground where many of the people who lost their lives there walked, see the original barracks where they lived in inhumane conditions, and even see some of the personal belongings kept in the museum.

But one of the most harrowing points of this tour will probably be the stop your guide will make at the crematoria. This is the site of mass executions carried out by the Nazis to exterminate the majority of Jews... Exactly, there you will see the remains of the well-known gas chambers, silent witnesses of the atrocities committed in the camp. But all in an atmosphere of respect and absolute honour for the victims.

It is difficult to put yourself in the shoes of the people who lived (and died) in Auschwitz. But, believe us, the impact of this visit will leave its mark on you and invite you to reflect deeply. And in any case, you know, let's remember history to prevent it from repeating itself...

    Next time I come to Germany I will probably bring my family so that they can get to know and learn more about these places.

    The guide walked very fast and I went with my mum who is a bit older so she got tired all the time.
