From Krakow: Auschwitz Birkenau & Oskar's Schindler Factory Guided Tour with Hotel Pickup

9 hours

Easy

Visit Auschwitz-Birkenau, the Nazi concentration camp that has become a symbol of the Holocaust. During this one-day tour, you will also visit Oskar Schindler's Factory.

Visit the former Nazi concentration camps at Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau on this 9-hour trip from Krakow.

By June 1940, Jews and over 700 political criminals had been sent to Auschwitz and the atrocities had begun.

Birkenau was built by Auschwitz prisoners and by October 1941 was used as an extermination camp.
Between 1 and 1.5 million people were killed, and approximately 90 percent of those were Jews.

Before Auschwitz-Birkenau was liberated in January 1945, the SS attempted to blow up the camp and destroy the documentation.
They were only partially successful, and the Polish government decided to restore the site as a memorial to the victims.

As part of this tour, you will also visit Oskar Schindler’s Factory Museum in Krakow.
This museum, located in the former enamel factory run by Schindler during World War II, tells the powerful story of how he saved over 1,000 Jews from the Holocaust.
The exhibition also offers a broader look at life in Krakow under Nazi occupation.
