We enjoyed both trips very much. In hindsight we should have done them on separate days as we spent a very long time on our feet. Also the pick up time came as a bit of a shock. I received a text the day before to say the pick up time would be 5:20am! We arrived at Osweiecim about 7am but did not commence the tour until 7:30. It was a lot of unnecessary standing about. We arrived at back at our ap’t just after 4pm so it was a very long day. The tours were excellent but hard doing both in 1 day.
Experience both the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and the Wieliczka Salt Mine in a single day. You’ll spend around 3 hours at each site, with a 30–60-minute break between them.
The transfer from Krakow to Auschwitz takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes, followed by a pause. As the museum welcomes many visitors daily, there may be some waiting time before entry, but the friendly team on-site will be with you throughout, ensuring you are comfortable and well looked after.
At Auschwitz and Birkenau, your guide will lead you through the memorial and museum, where letters, photographs, and artifacts tell the stories of the 1.3 million victims who lived and perished here. Explore the different sections of the camp, including living quarters, gassing sites, and areas where prisoners endured inhumane experiments.
At Wieliczka, wander through 3 km of underground tunnels, admire 2 lakes, and marvel at the stunning Chapel of St. Kinga, the world’s second-largest underground chapel, entirely carved from salt, including its altarpieces and chandeliers. Discover unique chambers, learn about 700 years of mining history, descend approximately 700 steps, and return to the surface via lift.
This immersive tour offers a profound journey through history and natural wonder.
