Itinerary
Day 1
Full-day morning trip from Kraków to the Auschwitz‑Birkenau Memorial and Museum with licensed local guide and included entrance tickets and headsets. Pickup is from your Kraków hotel; schedule below is conservative and paced for comfort.
Hotel pickup and drive from Kraków to Auschwitz
Hotel pickup in Kraków by an English‑speaking driver. Transport is by comfortable car/minivan in a small group (maximum 8 people). Typical driving time from central Kraków to the museum area is about 1.5 hours.
Tips from local experts:
- Confirm your pickup time: pickup times are usually between 06:00–08:00 and are confirmed one day before the tour after 15:00 — be reachable by phone that afternoon.
- Be ready in your hotel lobby at the agreed pickup time to avoid delays for other participants.
- If you have limited mobility, notify the operator at booking — the vehicle provides seated transport, but the museum is not wheelchair accessible.
Auschwitz‑Birkenau visit: Auschwitz I and Birkenau, guided tour
Driver will deliver you to the museum entrance and provide pre-purchased tickets. Expect a security check and ID verification. A local licensed guide leads the group (up to 30 people) with headsets: Auschwitz I (about 2 hours), short break and transfer to Birkenau (about 1 hour). After the visit the driver returns the group to Kraków.
Tips from local experts:
- Bring a photo ID or passport for the museum security check; security screening is similar to an airport and IDs are checked before entry.
- Dress in layers and wear comfortable, stable footwear — parts of the visit are outdoors and include walking on unpaved surfaces.
- This site is solemn and requires respectful behaviour; large bags may be checked, and infants must not sit on laps during the visit (as per operator policy).
