  Auschwitz Guided Tour Two

  Direct From Your Hotel To The Camp.

  The grounds and buildings of the Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau camps are open to visitors in their entirety, with the exception of several blocks in Auschwitz I that house the administration, Museum departments, and storage. There is generally access to all barracks at Auschwitz II-Birkenau. The duration of a visit is determined solely by the individual interests and needs of the visitors. As a minimum, however, at least one-and-a-half hours each should be reserved for the grounds and exhibitions of Auschwitz I and for the Birkenau site. It is necessary to visit both parts of the camp, Birkenau and Auschwitz, in order to acquire a proper sense of the place that has become the symbol of the Holocaust. Auschwitz I is where the Nazis opened the first Auschwitz camps for men and women. In the Birkenau camp, everything happened on a magnified scale.

  This tour includes being picked up at your hotel and being taken to the camp. At the camp you have about a 3.5h guided tour. Everything included in this tour depends on your wishes.
