Description
The day begins with an early morning hotel pickup in Vienna, followed by a 5-hour drive in an air-conditioned vehicle to the Auschwitz Concentration Camp Museum. Along the way, you'll have opportunities for occasional stops to break up the journey.
Upon arrival, a local guide, fluent in your chosen language, will lead you through an exploration of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Camps. This tour covers both Auschwitz I, primarily used for political prisoners, and the vast Auschwitz II-Birkenau, where Jewish and Romani inmates endured unimaginable hardships.
You'll spend up to 3.5 hours inside the camps, bearing witness to the remnants of barracks, watchtowers, and crematoriums that stand as powerful symbols of the Holocaust. After the guided tour, you'll have approximately 1 hour of free time for lunch or personal reflection.
