About
The story…
Auschwitz is a must for most who come to Krakow. Probably for you as well, right? You heard a lot about it but it is hard to imagine what really happened without visiting Auschwitz. We as humans being should get to know the history not to allow such things happen again.
If you don't know what happened in Auschwitz Birkenau, let us quickly explain:
The Auschwitz-Birkenau complex was Nazi Concentration Camp established in 1940 and throughout the five years of its inglorious operation, over 1.5 million people including Jews, Poles, Italians, Frenchmen, Romani, and citizens of most Europe countries perished here.
Walk through the same entrance used by prisoners more than 60 years ago, and read the same slogan - "Arbeit machtfrei" which translates to „Work sets one free” - sarcastic and cruel having known that most of the prisoners never got to experience freedom again. You will ask yourself: Why? We ask that every time we are there, the shock and disbelief never fade.
…that should never be forgotten

Faq
It is 66 km distant from Krakow which means that it takes about 1 h 30 min to get there by car. It is a separate town with no administrative relevance to Krakow, which is why the tour takes that much time. If you are interested, please read more about Auschwitz Location.
Yes, you can visit Auschwitz with an assisting person. Bearing in mind that the wheelchair should be capable of folding so it would fit into a minibus. However, some sites in Auschwitz are available only through steps so you may not be able to see some of them. Sightseeing in a wheelchair is difficult due to the historical aspect of the buildings (no driveways, large steps, and stairs, pebbly ground).
The dimensions are 30x20x10 and you will not be able to enter with any luggage that exceeds those. These are strictly followed and controlled. You can leave your bigger luggage in the car, it will be locked and supervised by the driver.
The option with private transport provides the private car taking you to Auschwitz Museum, however you will join the group on the spot. So the sightseeing will not be a private experience.
