What to remember

Know in advance:

  • All participants must provide their full name and contact details at the time of booking. Please ensure that the name on your ID exactly matches the name provided at the booking to avoid issues at the entrance
  • The museum can change your visit time, so your pickup time may change accordingly. You will receive final confirmation via email 1–2 days before the tour. Due to the extremely high visitors’ volume and internal policies, Auschwitz-Birkenau reserves the right to cancel tours or guides at any time, even a few days or hours before the visit. If this happens, you will be informed and if possible, offered an alternative date or program. Departures from Krakow may take place in the following hours: 6.00am - 1.00pm
  • All visitors are required to pass through security checks before entering the museum grounds
  • The allowed dimensions of a bag you can take with you are 30x20x10 (A4 size). You will be asked to leave your bigger belongings in the car (they will be locked and supervised by the driver)
  • Please bear in mind that there are hundreds of tourists visiting the museum every day and keeping your own pace of sightseeing is not possible
  • Not recommended for children aged 14 and under. Please bring your own child seat or child sling when travelling with a child
  • Students (age 13-26) must have a valid ID
  • Standard group size in the museum with 1 guide (if not specified in the options) is up to 30 people. For the small group option, it's up to 15 people

    we got the guided tour thinking we wanted to know the history. We were rushed around the site and for most of the tour we couldn't hear the guy as he kept speeding off and the headset kept losing connection. We struggled to keep up. Its a shame because we really did want to have time to process ever

    Although we booked a later trip we were brought forward to an early trip as explained in the pre-booking blurb. Details on pick up were clear to the point we had vehicle colour, registration and driver's name in advance of the pick up. All worked well.
