This tour takes you from Warsaw to Majdanek Concentration Camp Museum, located on the outskirts of Lublin. Established by Nazi Germany in 1941, Majdanek served as both a concentration and extermination camp. Due to the rapid advance of the Soviet army in 1944, the camp was captured almost intact, making it the best-preserved Holocaust camp in Europe.

Traveling with a knowledgeable, English-speaking guide helps you understand not only historical facts, but also the wider context of German Nazi occupation and the Holocaust in occupied Poland. Majdanek is visited far less frequently than Auschwitz, allowing for a calm, unhurried, and respectful experience.

The visit focuses on authentic locations, including original barracks, gas chambers, crematoria, execution sites, barbed wire fencing, and guard towers. Exhibitions inside preserved buildings present historical documents, photographs, and personal testimonies, with time to walk, reflect, and absorb the site at your own pace.

    Upon arrival, you enter the preserved grounds of Majdanek Concentration and Extermination Camp, where the scale and authenticity of the site immediately set the tone for the visit. The guided walk lasts approximately 2 to 3 hours and is conducted at a calm, respectful pace. During the visit, you explore the camp’s key areas, including the selection square and shower barracks, the original gas chambers, and prisoner barracks that now house museum exhibitions with documents, photographs, and personal testimonies. You also visit the crematoria, execution pits, and the mausoleum containing the ashes of victims. Throughout the walk, your guide explains how Majdanek functioned, who was imprisoned there, and how the camp fit into the wider system of German Nazi terror and genocide. You’ll have time to read exhibition materials, observe preserved structures, and reflect on the history in a dignified setting.
