Visiting the memorial and museum of the Auschwitz Concentration Camp is essential in trying to understand the horrors of the Second World War. Discover its history on this day trip from Warsaw.

Auschwitz Day Trip

Many people have tried to describe the horrifying ordeal of the Nazi concentration and extermination camps of World War II, but the horror defies words. Experiencing the museum and memorial of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp is an important step in attempting to truly understand the extent of the tragic events of this era. To learn more about its history, we'll pick you up at the indicated time at your hotel in Warsaw and head to this Nazi concentration camp.

After approximately 3 hours thirty minutes of driving, you'll arrive in Oświęcim, a small town in southern Poland that, between 1940 and 1945, bore witness to the horrendous acts of the Nazis. During this period of the Second World War, the Third Reich constructed a series of concentration and extermination camps on the outskirts of Oświęcim, where they committed horrendous crimes against prisoners of war, Jews, and other ethnic groups. These were known as Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau, which have been converted into the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum, founded in 1947.

Your guided tour of the former concentration camp will take you to see the area where the inmates imprisoned here lived. The prison blocks and barracks retain a dark and mournful atmosphere, and it is sobering to imagine human beings being forced to live here, within the barbed wire fencing that surrounds the camp. You'll also see the crematoriums and the gas chambers where over one million people were killed, and the railway whose tracks ended at Auschwitz, which transported so many prisoners to their death.

This day trip to Auschwitz is a deeply moving experience and the memorial and museum serve not only to honour those who suffered and lost their lives through this horrific experience, but also to educate visitors and a greater global audience in order to ensure that what happened here never happens again.

Following the guided tour of Auschwitz, we'll drive back to Warsaw. We'll arrive back at your hotel 15 hours after pickup.

Hotel Pickup

During the booking process, you can specify the name of your hotel in Katowice so that we can pick you up at your accommodation.

Important

The visit to the camp can only be done with authorized camp personnel guides and not with external guides. The confirmation of the guide is only guaranteed between 12 and 16 hours before the activity.
All operators need a minimum group to be able to access the camp with a guide, so sometimes, in case the minimum group is not reached, the activity could be cancelled or rescheduled.
On our side, tickets, and guide are locked in as soon as the minimum group is reached, but in case of last minute bookings, there might not be guides available, and the activity might be cancelled.
