Book a 17-hour trip from Warsaw to Auschwitz-Birkenau and Wieliczka. We want to make this experience as convenient as possible for you so we'll arrange a private car transfer from your accommodation to Warsaw Central Station, from where you will take a short train journey to Krakow (two-way tickets are included). Upon arrival at Krakow Main Station you will also enjoy private car transfers to Auschwitz-Birkenau and Wieliczka so it will be easy to visit both sites in 1 day. Skip-the-line tickets to both attractions are also included to avoid waiting in long lines. The group tours of Auschwitz-Birkenau and Wiliczka will be conducted in 1 language only so it will be easy to understand the commentary and we will also provide headsets/whispers to hear the guide clearly.
Upon arrival in Oswiecim, you will join a group tour of the former concentration camp Auschwitz I and the massive extermination camp Auschwitz II-Birkenau. Since a visit to both camps is necessary to fully comprehend the scope of the Holocaust crimes that took place here, we provide transport between the sites with a guaranteed 3,5-hour tour regardless of traffic jams. You will see the original prison barracks, gas chambers and crematoriums and hear the authentic accounts of daily starvation, forced labor, punishment and death, but also of survival, resistance, escapes and liberation.
From Oswiecim, you will go by private car to a small town of Wieliczka near Krakow. There will be free time to relax and have lunch before your next guided tour. A Licensed Guide will take you down the underground shafts and labyrinthine corridors carved out of rock salt at the Wieliczka Salt Mine. During the guaranteed 3-hour group tour you will marvel at the displays of historic salt-mining technology, an underground saline lake, and ornate chapels featuring numerous rock salt sculptures of saints and important historical figures. Take a deep breath and taste the salt on your lips. After an exciting but long day of sightseeing, you will be transferred by private car to the Central Railway Station in Krakow, where you will board the train back to Warsaw.
