Question 1

What is the trip to Auschwitz-Birkenau from Krakow and what does this historical attraction involve for corporate groups?

Accepted Answer

The trip to Auschwitz-Birkenau is a full-day tour led by a licensed museum guide to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum in Oświęcim—located about 70 km from Krakow. Participants visit Auschwitz I (original barracks, museum exhibits, the gate with the "Arbeit Macht Frei" sign) and Auschwitz II-Birkenau (ruined crematoria, railway ramp, vast camp area) — two sites with unparalleled impact on everyone who visits. It's a format for companies looking to deepen their teams' historical and humanistic sensitivity.

Question 2

How long does the trip to Auschwitz-Birkenau from Krakow last?

Accepted Answer

The entire trip lasts about 7 hours—departure from Krakow is usually at 8:30 or 9:30 AM, about 1.5 hours drive each way, 3.5–4 hours tour of both camps with a licensed museum educator (including a 15-minute break between the camps), and a return to Krakow city center in the early afternoon or evening. The event coordinator sets a detailed schedule individually during booking, adjusting the departure time to the day's overall corporate program.

Question 3

What is included in the package for the trip to Auschwitz-Birkenau?

Accepted Answer

The group package price includes: transport in a comfortable, air-conditioned minibus with pickup from a chosen location in Krakow and return, skip-the-line entry tickets to Auschwitz I and Birkenau, a tour with a licensed museum educator, and the care of our coordinator. The company doesn't need to book tickets, arrange transport, or worry about queues—especially important since entry to the Museum can be impossible without prior reservation during the season.

Question 4

Is the trip to Auschwitz-Birkenau available with an English-speaking guide for international groups?

Accepted Answer

Yes—the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum offers tours with licensed educators in many languages, including English, making this trip a great option for companies employing foreign workers or organizing integrations for mixed groups. It's worth specifying the preferred language when making a reservation to book the appropriate guide in advance.

Question 5

Is the trip to Auschwitz-Birkenau suitable as part of a corporate educational and integration program?

Accepted Answer

The trip to Auschwitz-Birkenau is an emotionally and intellectually demanding format—many companies and organizations deliberately include it in team-building programs as an experience that builds empathy, sensitivity to humanistic values, and a sense of shared experiences. It's not an entertainment attraction—it's a visit to a site of exceptional historical and moral weight, which remains a lasting memory for participants and becomes a common point of reference for the entire team.

Question 6

Is there a special dress code or other requirements for visitors to Auschwitz-Birkenau?

Accepted Answer

The Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum requires visitors to wear appropriate attire (no short shorts, bare shoulders, or head coverings within the barracks) and to maintain silence and respect throughout the entire Memorial site. It's worth informing participants of these requirements before the trip, and bringing comfortable sports shoes due to the large distances to be covered on foot—the Birkenau camp site spans over 170 hectares.

Question 7

Can the number of participants be changed after booking the trip to Auschwitz-Birkenau, and until when is this possible?

Accepted Answer

Changing the number of participants is possible—please report any changes no later than 14 days before the planned trip, due to the need for proper reservation of entry tickets to the Museum, which are very popular and must be booked well in advance. We encourage early confirmation of the group composition.

Question 8

What description appears on the invoice for organizing the trip to Auschwitz-Birkenau?

Accepted Answer

The invoice for organizing the corporate attraction usually includes the description: “organization of integration event / corporate event / workshop". If your company requires a different description due to accounting department requirements or internal billing policy, please ask us for details when placing the order.

Question 9

Do you issue a proforma invoice before the trip to Auschwitz-Birkenau?

Accepted Answer

Yes, payment is made based on a proforma invoice. The final VAT invoice will be issued after the event, as the number of participants may change until then—we want the billing to always match the actual number of people attending the trip.
