Your Journey Begins at Auschwitz-Birkenau

The tour starts with comfortable transport from Krakow, allowing you to focus on the experience ahead.

Delve underground for a 3-hour expertly guided tour. Descend approximately 700 steps into a stunning labyrinth of tunnels, chambers and salt sculptures. Marvel at the artistry carved entirely from rock salt, including underground chapels and unique saline lakes.
