Full description
A combined day tour bringing together Auschwitz-Birkenau and the Wieliczka Salt Mine, two of Poland's most significant sites, with transportation included from Kraków.
This combined tour brings together two of Poland's most significant sites in a single day: the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum and the Wieliczka Salt Mine, without compromising on the depth of either visit.
The day starts early in the morning, departing from Kraków toward Auschwitz-Birkenau, one of the most widely recognized symbols of the horror and genocide of the 20th century. Established in 1940 by the Germans near the town of Oświęcim, the site preserves its permanent exhibitions and original camp structures, welcoming millions of visitors each year in tribute to the memory of the victims.
After the visit, the tour continues on to the Wieliczka Salt Mine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1978. With centuries of mining history, its tunnels house chambers and chapels carved entirely out of salt, including the renowned Chapel of St. Kinga, one of the highlights of the underground route.
As a full-day tour that combines two out-of-town excursions, this is the ideal choice for travelers with limited time in Kraków who don't want to miss either of the region's two unmissable destinations.
