Auschwitz-Birkenau and Wieliczka Salt Mine Tour From Krakow
Seeing both Auschwitz-Birkenau and the Wieliczka Salt Mine in a single day can be difficult to arrange independently. This full-day tour from Krakow efficiently combines two of Poland’s UNESCO World Heritage sites into one structured itinerary. The day begins at the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum to learn about the history of the Holocaust and pay respect to the more than one million people who were murdered there. The tour then continues to the Wieliczka Salt Mine to explore a remarkable underground network of chambers, tunnels, and carvings formed from salt and stone.
