Visit former German Nazi extermination and concentration camp, Auschwitz-Birkenau, and one of the most beautiful polish cities, Krakow. We will spend the first part of the day in Auschwitz-Birkenau, the infamous symbol of Nazi domination in Europe. It was the largest extermination and concentration camp ever built on the old continent. From 1940 to 1945 the Germans imprisoned there almost 1.5 million people, the majority of whom were Jews. It is estimated that they murdered about 1.1 million people there.
After visiting Auschwitz, we will go for lunch in a nearby town and after a short drive we will reach Krakow. The former capital of Poland has its own unique atmosphere. There are no skyscrapers, but in Krakow you can literally breathe history. Here, until the 17th century, the seat of Polish kings was located, but the beginnings of the city date back to the end of the 9th century. Today, Krakow is the second largest city in Poland and one of its most important cultural centers.
Today you can see there among others the gas chambers, the Death Wall or the famous gate with ironic inscription "Arbeit macht frei". Auschwitz II-Birkenau at first was a concentration camp and then also a place of mass extermination. Today you can see there railway ramps where prisoners were selected, barracks with the museum exhibitions and crematories.
Every hour the trumpet signal, called Hejnał Mariacki is played from the top of one of the towers. It is also one of the symbols of Krakow.
t UNESCO World Heritage Site in the world. We won't visit the interiors.
