Overview

A unique opportunity to check off two Unesco world heritage sites in one day.
The largest death camp in human history, an infamous site of genocide, Auschwitz-Birkenau is synonymous with the worst atrocities ever committed. Arrive via transfer from Krakow and learn about the tragic history of this place with a live guide.
The camp was built by the Nazis in 1940 in the suburbs of Oswiecim. The total number of deaths is estimated at over 1.1 million people, most of them Jewish, representing 28 nationalities.
Choose a combined tour to visit the Wieliczka Salt Mine following the Auschwitz visit and a lunch break.
A treasured monument of Polish cultural history, the vast medieval salt mine has over a million visitors yearly. The miners left dozens of sculptures and bas-reliefs cut out of the salt, keeping their work alive for many further years. There are 800 steps to climb, and 350 at the beginning take you down into the mine. There's a lift to the top of the mine at the end of the route.
