Tickets for Auschwitz-Birkenau: Tour with Private Pickup

A visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau is a confronting experience, but a tour of the camps where 1.5 million perished is to go to the heart of humanity.

Upon entering Auschwitz-Birkenau, you'll get the impression that for several years hell was located in this very place. Hunger, medical experiments, terror, exhausting work, diseases, executions, gas chambers, Zyklon B – millions of human beings suffered through the conditions forced upon them by the Nazi regime.

Visiting the camp brings back the memory of those events. While the atrocities that took place here will leave you feeling hollow, it's important that what the prisoners here went through should never be forgotten.

This private transport tour gives you private travel, alone, from Krakow to Auschwitz. Upon arrival, you'll visit the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum in a group with an official museum educator.
