Auschwitz-Birkenau tour with a Guidebook & Hotel Pickup

Take a meaningful and independent journey from Krakow to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum to explore the historical site of the largest Nazi concentration and extermination camp. This self-guided tour allows you to visit the memorial at your own pace, giving you time to reflect and absorb the significance of the place without the structure of a group tour. Upon arrival, you will receive a complimentary guidebook in your selected language, providing detailed information, historical background, and suggested routes through both Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau. This format ensures you can focus on the areas that interest you most while still gaining a deep understanding of the tragic events that took place there.

During your visit, you will explore both camps — Auschwitz I, with its preserved brick barracks, original fences, and permanent exhibitions; and Auschwitz II-Birkenau, the vast, open field with wooden barracks and the ruins of gas chambers. The guidebook will help you navigate and understand each section of the camps, while a dedicated host will remain available nearby in case you need assistance. This self-guided format is ideal for travelers who prefer to move at their own pace while still receiving the necessary support and information to fully engage with the memorial site's history. It’s a powerful opportunity to pay your respects, reflect in silence, and connect personally with this important place of remembrance.
