5.0
(9 reviews)
Krakow, Poland

12 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

Discover two of Poland's most iconic destinations on a full-day tour from Krakow.

Start your journey with a comfortable transfer to the world-famous Wieliczka Salt Mine, one of the oldest operating salt mines in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Explore the spectacular underground chambers, salt-carved chapels, lakes, and sculptures during a guided visit with an official licensed Salt Mine guide.

After your visit, continue to Auschwitz.

Unlike standard Auschwitz tours, this experience provides a broader historical perspective before you enter the memorial. Your driver will first take you to several important historical locations connected with the former concentration camp complex.

Afterwards, you'll independently visit both Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau using the official visitor route. This gives you the freedom to explore at your own pace without being part of a guided group.

Following your visit, relax during the return transfer to Krakow.
