Auschwitz-Birkenau Guided Tour with Ticket & Transfer from Krakow
Overview
Experience one of the most memorable lessons of modern history. Visit UNESCO World Heritage Site, a former Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz-Birkenau, where more than a million Jews and other prisoners were oppressed or killed during World War II.
