About this activity

Combine two of Krakow’s most important historic sites on this full-day tour of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum and the Wieliczka Salt Mine, including hotel pickup and lunch. Start with a moving tour of the Auschwitz-Birkenau complex, and learn the harrowing truths of the largest Nazi concentration camp complex. After lunch, venture underground to explore the UNESCO-listed Wieliczka mine, one of the world’s oldest working salt mines.

Pickup points

Pickup details If your hotel is not listed please add a remark and we will pick you up from any accommodation (also Airbnb) located within Krakow City limits. You can also choose one of our pickup points. The pickups are provided between 6:00 and 7:30 depending on your accommodation and our schedules. The pickup time is always confirmed by text and email the day before the tour. In summer time, pickups might be between 5:30 and 7:30 to avoid walking in the full sun and high temperatures. Please note, that if your hotel is located in the close city center or Jewish Quarter, the pickup will be directly from the accommodation, but after the tour, you might be dropped off at the closest dropoff point. If your accommodation is located outside of Krakow city limits, it is possible to be picked up at an additional charge. For example pickup from Krakow airport 33€. The price always depends on the distance from Krakow and a number of people.
