You'll travel in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle built for groups. The tour departs from a central Krakow location (you'll select it in the next booking step). Just arrive a bit early and show your confirmation voucher—either printed or on your smartphone—along with a valid ID.

  • Journey through history and underground: Visit the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum, the most infamous concentration camp, then explore the Wieliczka Salt Mines, a one-of-a-kind subterranean world.

  • All-inclusive experience: Skip the lines with your booking. Tickets to both sites are included in one comprehensive 11-hour package.

Step by Step

Get ready for a day that takes you from Krakow to two of Poland's most powerful and fascinating sites. This excursion immerses you in history and reveals hidden wonders beneath the earth. Ready for the journey?

Picture this: you leave Krakow and travel about 50 kilometers to Auschwitz, where your visit begins with the documentary "The Liberation of Auschwitz." This is just the opening chapter of a tour that takes you into the heart of Europe's largest concentration camp. Led by a professional guide, you'll walk through the crematoria, see the Death Wall, explore the Birkenau camp, and enter the barracks where prisoners lived. It's a place preserved so the memory and tribute to over a million people—most of them Jewish—will never be lost.

During your visit, bring your ID and remember to behave respectfully. Photography is allowed in most areas, though certain sections prohibit it.

After this moving morning, you'll shift settings and head to the Wieliczka Salt Mines, about 64 kilometers from Auschwitz. This underground complex, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is where you'll discover chambers carved entirely from salt, statues, and chapels. Be prepared to descend about 600 steps (yes, it's a workout), so a moderate fitness level is recommended.

This eleven-hour tour is designed to give you a complete experience. From transportation to detailed guide commentary, every moment is crafted to make this day truly unique. Ready to discover Poland in a whole new way?

This is a day for the curious, the history buffs, and anyone seeking something beyond the ordinary. From the solemn history of Auschwitz to the awe-inspiring Wieliczka Salt Mines, every step of this journey leaves a lasting impression. Are you in?

    I think that the tour should not show the gas chambers because there are people who are very sensitive and this may affect them. The guide who accompanied us was very knowledgeable about the subject.
