Auschwitz is a small town in southern Poland, and the town is famous for being the largest concentration camp established by Nazi Germany during World War II. The area controlled by Auschwitz covers an area of 40 square kilometers, with three main camps and 39 small camps. The camp is free to visit, but the personal feeling must be explained by a guide to help you understand more. The camps include Auschwitz 1, Auschwitz 2 (Birkenau) and Auschwitz 3 (Monowitz), which had long been destroyed in Germany. If you don't go to the camp tour guide, you can only reach No. 2, and No. 1. The tour guide in the camp is very professional, and the explanation of the 6-hour time is very detailed and clear. It is highly recommended for a tour guide to lead the tour. Auschwitz was the site of Hitler's genocide, and as many as three million people died in the camp, which was held inmates other than Jews, as well as gypsies, Polish prisoners of war, intellectuals, members of the resistance, antisocialists, and homosexuals. From the Krakow bus terminal, there are multiple shuttle buses to Camp 1 Auschwitz every day. The one-way ticket costs 14 zlotys and lasts about an hour and 35 minutes. You can also take the train to Auschwitz and walk 1.4 kilometers to the camp for two hours.

    Seen a lot and learnt a lot about the history from the tour guide. It is really an experience seeing these remains in real life. Must go to really feel it for yourself if you’re in poland.

    A sad and awakening experience thinking of what human beings are capable of doing. Felt a cold feeling when entered the cremation chambers. There’s a wall where people were executed, now flowers are layed down in their memory. A part of history, I recommend visiting Terezin as well situated in Czech Republic.

    An emotional experience where you feel what people felt at that time, seeing what they went through, hearing the stories, seeing what they left behind. You will regret not going and you need to see this historic site to truly understand the past!

    This is a World War II concentration camp in Poland, where Jews are mainly closed. The more puzzled thing is that the German Nazis from other European countries put these Jews on a train for days and nights and executed them here. There is a gas stove inside, which is cruel. Similar cases have been seen in other European countries before, but the camp is quite large.

    A great opportunity to fully understand the tragic history of the war. you can feel the atmosphere from outside of the grounds and even more so in the buildings.Usually tours are in large groups, so audio kits and headphones are supplied to hear your guide.There are plenty of toilets through out the tour.Remember your passport as you will not be granted access with it.
