Auschwitz Birkenau Self-Guided Tour from Krakow
Overview
Take part in a self-guided visit to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum, one of the most important historical sites in the world. This day trip from Krakow includes transportation, entry tickets, and the assistance of a tour leader, giving you the freedom to explore the memorial at your own pace.
Start your journey in Krakow, where you’ll meet your English-speaking tour leader and travel in a comfortable, air-conditioned minivan or bus to the museum. Upon arrival, your tour leader will help you enter the site smoothly and explain the layout of both Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau.
You’ll receive entry tickets that allow you to walk through the camps independently. Visit the preserved barracks, original fences, watchtowers, and exhibitions in Auschwitz I, then continue to Birkenau, the larger extermination camp. With no official guide, you’ll have time to reflect and explore the memorial at your own pace.
After the visit, rejoin your group and return to Krakow.
