You will depart from Krakow in a comfortable air-conditioned bus, where a coordinator will welcome you, go over the itinerary and hand out information leaflets in the language you chose when you booked.

The journey takes approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes to reach the Auschwitz I compound, the original camp where prisoner blocks, the SS prison and the famous Death Gate are still preserved.

Upon arrival, you will start your self-guided tour with the brochure in hand, visiting Blocks 4 and 5, now converted into museums displaying personal belongings of the victims: suitcases, glasses, utensils and shoes. These blocks will help you understand the magnitude of the deportation and the extreme living conditions they endured. You will be able to stop and calmly read each section before moving on.

Next, you will head to the area of Auschwitz II-Birkenau, the sprawling extermination camp. Here you will tour the unloading ramp, the ruins of the crematoria and the original barracks. The brochure details the selection process, the lives cut short and the dimensions of the gas chambers, with testimonies illustrating each area.

After the visit in Birkenau, you will return to the bus for the return journey to Krakow, arriving in the late afternoon. This format gives you total freedom to stop, meditate and absorb each historical context, without being rushed or dependent on internal timetables.
