Auschwitz-Birkenau Tour

Uncover the profound history of a notorious concentration and extermination camp that significantly altered the course of 20th-century Europe on this excursion to Auschwitz-Birkenau from Katowice.

Auschwitz-Birkenau Tour

At 8 am, our team will collect you from your accommodation in Katowice. Following a journey of approximately 1 hour, we will arrive at Auschwitz-Birkenau, the site of some of the most tragic events in modern history.

The complex consists of several different camps. We will initiate our visit at Auschwitz I, the concentration camp originally established to imprison political dissidents, which later became a site for various targeted groups by the Nazis, including Jews, Romani individuals, homosexuals, and intellectuals. At the camp's entrance, you'll observe the sign that reads "Arbeit macht frei". Are you aware of its meaning? Following this, we will explore the cramped cells where prisoners lived and the locations where they were compelled to labor.

Our journey will then lead us to Auschwitz II-Birkenau, the mass extermination camp where countless lives were tragically lost. Here, you'll witness the ruins of the crematoriums and gas chambers, which were destroyed by German forces in an attempt to obliterate the evidence of their atrocities.

Our tour will conclude back in Katowice by 3 pm.
