From Krakow Auschwitz - Birkenau and Salt Mine in One Day Private Tour

Auschwitz – Birkenau Museum

Established in 1940 by Nazi Germany, in abandoned Polish army barracks, Auschwitz was the largest concentration camp and extermination center. Out of the 1.3 million people which the SS and police deported, there were over 1.1 million men, women and children who lost their lives in this horrifying place.
The Memorial is made up of two parts of the former camp: Auschwitz and Birkenau.

Wieliczka Salt Mine

About 10 miles (16 km) out of the city, but still within the Krakow metropolitan area, lies the city of Wieliczka, home to the renowned Salt Mine, considered to be the epitome of technological progress made by humans. During the 16th century, royal guests began visiting the mine lured by the developing culture and health benefits. Over the years, miners transformed the mine from a typical dark cave into a majestic location.
