Description
Visit the former German extermination and concentration camp Auschwitz-Birkenau and one of Poland's most beautiful cities, Krakow. We will spend the first part of the day in Auschwitz-Birkenau, the infamous symbol of Nazi rule in Europe. It was the largest extermination and concentration camp ever established on the old continent. From 1940 to 1945, the Germans imprisoned nearly 1.5 million people there, most of them Jews. It is estimated that approximately 1.1 million people were murdered there.
After visiting Auschwitz, we will have lunch in a nearby town, and after a short drive we will reach Krakow. Poland's former capital has a unique atmosphere. There are no skyscrapers, but in Krakow you can literally breathe history. It was the seat of the Polish kings until the 17th century, but the city's origins date back to the end of the 9th century. Krakow is now Poland's second-largest city and one of the country's most important cultural centers.
