Learn More About Auschwitz Birkenau

Yes, you can do a day trip from Warsaw to Auschwitz but you need to plan it well as the distance is quite long. The journey from Warsaw to Auschwitz is 320 km (200 miles) and takes around 3.5-4 hours each way by car or train.

So you will spend most of the day traveling. This is the reason why the best way to get there is taking a tour to Auschwitz Birkenau Museum.

To make the most of your visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum consider starting very early or, if possible, spend the night in a nearby city like Krakow for a more relaxed experience. Read where to stay when visiting Auschwitz.

Auschwitz is 320 km (200 miles) south of Warsaw. The distance from Warsaw to Auschwitz is around 3.5-4 hours by car or train under normal conditions.

The route is well connected by rail and road so it’s accessible for visitors. Many choose to visit Auschwitz from Krakow instead, which is only 66 km (41 miles) away and takes around 1.5 hours to get to the nazi concentration camp, so you have more time to explore the site.

Yes, you can definitely do a day trip from Warsaw to Krakow. High speed trains connect the two cities and the journey takes around 2.5-3 hours each way.

So you can leave Warsaw in the morning, spend the whole day exploring Krakow’s historic sites like Wawel Castle, Old Town and Kazimierz Jewish Quarter and get back to Warsaw in the evening.

While a day trip is possible, staying overnight in Krakow will give you a more richer experience with more time to soak up the city’s atmosphere.

Visiting Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum takes at least 3-4 hours to visit both Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau. Most tours inside Auschwitz last 3.5 hours, which is enough to see most areas.

Guided tours are available and recommended to get a deeper understanding of the historical context. Some visitors choose to spend more time to reflect on the site, and if that’s your case, we recommend a private tour.

Spending half a day will give you enough time not to feel rushed and to take in the exhibits, memorials and the somber atmosphere of this place in human history.

Yes, Auschwitz-Birkenau is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was added to the UNESCO list in 1979 as “Auschwitz Birkenau German Nazi Concentration and Extermination Camp (1940–1945) after World War II.”

This designation recognises the site as a symbol of the Holocaust and WW2. The UNESCO status helps preserve the memorial for future generations so the lessons of Auschwitz can continue to teach the world about hate, racism and intolerance.

There are no paid Auschwitz tickets, and admission to the memorial site and museum is free. You can enter without paying an entrance fee. However, due to the high number of visitors and to keep the site calm, it’s necessary to book a timed entry ticket in advance.

For this reason, many people prefer a full-day guided tour. And you’ll learn everything about the concentration camps with an expert.

While entry is free, it’s highly recommended to join a guided tour to get a deeper understanding of the history and meaning of the camp. Guided tours are available in English and other languages and last about 3.5 hours, covering both Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau.
