It feels wrong to mark your experience as "loved it" for such a somber trip. It is however a trip everyone should make at least once in their life. Soon people who survived this horror will not be among us. It's important we remember and never let something like that happen again.

A must see in Poland. There is so much history here. It's a much more real experience to see the remnants first hand than to learn about it in school.

Everyone that comes to Poland should visit this place. It's the most important historical event in recent European history. Easy accessible by own car or public? Busses from Krakow. Parking was 18 Zloty, 4 euro. Tickets have to be bought online before the visit. I would advise to pay for a guide to get extra information.

(Translated by Google) Ravens - Oświęcim district. There are three lakes and a water cascade that connects the Sola River with the Vistula River (Original) Kruki - dzielnica Oświęcimia. Znajdują się tam trzy jeziora oraz kaskada wodna, która łączy rzekę Sołę z rzeką Wisłą

I am glad they didn’t destroy it after the war because it was very educational and I feel like everyone should visit and learn about the horrors of the past just so that they won’t be repeated. It’s a bit hard to process from the outside - at least for me it was. It was a beautiful sunny day when I went and like I knew where I was but it didn’t fully kick in until we went inside the blocks - that’s where you can really get a feel of the place. I feel like the pictures on the walls in one of the blocks is what broke me the most (more than the hair or the offspring shoes etc) - some of the people clearly had hope in their eyes. And it was heartbreaking to see such hopeful beautiful people portrayed considering what they had to go through.

The staff were pretty harsh, the food wasn't very good overall and very limited. 1/10 will not be going again. Room service was the worst part of the whole experience. The best part was probably the free communal showers.

I went there today and wanted to enter the camp without a guide. Despite having visited the official site off the camp and an info point in Krakow, nobody told me that the available times to enter without a guide are from 12:00 until 15:00 and so I found out when I got there (after 1,5 hour trip by bus). Moreover, if one wants to visit Birkenau, has to buy a ticket from Auswitch. I've been to Dachau and everything was for free. Truly disappointed from the whole experience.

It's worth going here to get some understanding of the scale and suffering that Jews and others had handed out by the Nazis during their time in power. Walking around the camp just shows what man can do to fellow man. The suffering and death on an industrial scale. The museum does well to preserve the past so we don't forget. There is a lot of walking involved so plan ahead especially if you take a guided tour as they move quickly but do give you lots of information about the camp and the people who went through the gates, many for the last time.

Got sent home after a 5 hour long train trip because I was dressed ‘inappropiate’. I was wearing a long jeans with a normal shirt and fitflops (because it was warm). While other people were wearing tank tops and shorts, there was no discussion possible with the security guard.

I've visited and photographed many places around the world but none as eerie, emotional and as moving as the concentration camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau. Sad as it is I'm pleased that it has been so well preserved and maintained all these years as a memorial and museum of the shocking and evil atrocities that happened during the Holocaust in this part of the world, a terrible period in our recent history. I don't think I need to say much more and will leave it to my photos to do all the talking. I have to add that it was very difficult for me to take photos, but I felt overwhelmingly compelled to do so. However these photos are no substitute at all for being there, feeling it and seeing it with your own eyes. Visiting Auschwitz is a very touching and sobering experience. Some tips: * Buy your entry tickets online to avoid the queues * Get there early to avoid the masses * Take only a small bag with you * If you visit in winter dress warmly * Eat well before visiting. * Do the organized guided tour

If you are visiting Poland, this is a must see. It's difficult to review a place such as this but it is incredibly important to see the history here. When I went, we had our cousin's grandfather as our tour guide and he was able to tell us some important stories as we walked through the grounds. Absolutely walk through with a tour guide to get as much out of this experience as you can. Words can hardly describe what you see and feel here so going for yourself is the best advice I can offer.

Can’t describe how saddening it is but a must to visit to learn and see how people were treated during this time. It is extremely well kept and the guides are really knowledgable. You can buy guidebooks yourself and wander around take it in in your own pace or follow a guide and tour around. Honestly it feels weird to give it 5 stars but it is something I will never forget and I hope that we learn from this tragic place.

Easy to reach from Krakow, it deserves at least three hours of visit including the near Birkenau camp. Exhibitions are very well organized and documented. I'd have preferred to be alone in the visit, but I appreciated very much the guided tour lead by Lukasz Celta.

I am giving five stars mainly due to the fact that many people and organisations have taken concrete steps to ensure people don't forget what happened here during WWII. This place is a reminder of the darkest side of human nature, to torture and kill another human for the heck of it.. I would recommend this visit to everyone, and to soak in the history that took place not so long ago.

This is a very sad experience. But I do recommend everyone to visit once in a lifetime. I learnt about it in a history lesson, but seeing it for real was just something else. The scale of it is just mad. There was 2 camps, second camp had more than 300 buildings. They were killing almost 5k people a day, in a gas chamber they fit 700 people at a time 😮 Its just crazy to see all the shoes of people who died there. And crazy to see the gas chamber. We all need to see the scale of it and learn from it so the history wont repeat itself... In the second camp, last building we entered was the barrack of ill women, it was called the death barrack, all of them were ill or unable to work, they were getting no food or water and if the barrack was full they were made to stay outside in a yard and wait to be taken to the gas chamber. Most of them died there in a barrack. It's so cruel. The free car park not in use. All car parks around is approx 30zloty. There is massive queue to get it, takes forever due to amount of people visiting. To get in need to go thru security like in the airport. Then there is audio tour. Our guide was not great, was hard to hear her as she didnt hold microphone properly. Was way too many people and very long backlog so we skipped quite few barracks. Once we got to second camp by bus our tour guide didnt wait for everyone so we got lost. Not very well organised tbh. After 1pm most days can visit camps without tour guides and it is free. This place would give chills to everyone.

Probably one of the most badly organised tourist destinations in the world ! Always wanted to visit but was very disappointed, the complete cluster fxxk of the main entry, the inability to secure private tickets in advance via a official site, this resulted in almost 45 min to wait in a outdoor line until we could get to the ticket office and then another 2 hour wait until our time slot to actually get through the gate. I'd gladly pay €5-10 for advance tickets if I could get a guaranteed time to get in when I arrive. Once in there was no real flow or direction of what to see or what order to see it in. The official map was about as much use as sand in a desert, honestly a 5 year old could have drawn a better plan. Inside large tour groups dominated all the various things to see and we were often barged out of the way or unable to pass them while they blocked doors or things to see. My impression of the place has been ruined by visiting it and then when coming out, they don't even have clear signage where to get public transport back or a covered bus stop. The urban planner / architect who designed the new entrance and coach part obviously never tried visiting as a tourist.

Important place to visit, the place is big and there is loads to read, come here if you have a day to spare.

A trip to Krakow included a day trip to most notorious concentration camp of WW2. However, despite my rather impressionable nature, I was not overwhelmed with grief. Rather, it was sadness about the lost people, but the place itself does not evoke too much sadness. The 10 minute movie that was shown just before the tour was more impressive. Especially the question - how did we, the people of enlightened Europe, allow this to happen on our territory? The answer, alas, is not within the walls of the museum. I suggest to add some effects, might be only sound or visual within QR code, etc, so them might create a thorn in visitors' hearts.

Must visit place and you can only feel what others have been gone through in life… unimaginable pain … It’s a mirror of past!!

(Translated by Google) The main disappointment is that the Polish authorities are trying to make money from this miserable place. In my opinion this is not permissible !!! An emotionally powerful place. (Original) Главное разочарование состоит в том, что польские власти стараются зарабатывать на этом скорбном месте. По моему это не допустимо!!! Эмоционально очень сильное место.

A place to visit in remembrance, solemnity and pay respect to those thousands of people who died there and to build conscience not to ignore the injustices and atrocities made to others. Very impressive and touching, definitely a must see.

Incredibly somber and emotional experience. Seeing the scale of what happened here is overwhelming. We visited on a nice sunny day, but I couldn’t help but feel what the conditions must have felt like for those held within the camp during the harsh polish winters. A must see for anyone to remind us of what happened and try to ensure it can never happen again.

(Translated by Google) Pleasant visit despite the fact that we had to be shaved for the rp side I think. Perfect hotel side the showers are nickel as well as the grill every evening. You will find below the brother of the camp manager (Original) Visite agréable malgré qu'il fallait qu'on soit rasée pour le côté rp je crois. Côté hôtel parfait les douche sont nickel ainsi que la grillade tout les soir. Vous trouverez si dessous le frère du gestionnaire du camp

(Translated by Google) It smelled burning and you didn't breathe much gas well, good hairdressers (Original) Olía a quemado y no se respiraba bien mucho gas, buenos peluqueros

(Translated by Google) Beautiful architecture, the showers are broken and they come out of the gas but otherwise perfect for a fiery family stay. crematorium (Original) Belle architecture, les douches sont en pannes et elles sortent du gaz mais sinon parfait pour un séjour enflammé en famille. crématorium

One of the must see place if you are nearby. A piece of the most terrible european history, which shouldn't be forgotten. Very impressive. Get your ticket in advance on the web, as you can get guider in your language.

(Translated by Google) I was told that it was an amusement park but I arrived at the entrance the problem is that I was given a license plate and a weird costume, in short, I was told after going to the showers because we was dirty so we go there but weird a strong smell of gasoline and the guy with a mustache in the shape of a rectangle tells us that we serve a ryen. Humor attention (Original) On ma dit que c'etait un parc d'attraction mais je suis arrivé a l'entree le probleme c'est qu'n ma donné un imatricule et un costume bizarre bref on ma dit apres d'aller dans les douches parce que on etait sale donc on y va mais bizarre une forte odeur de gazoline et la le mec avec une moustache en forme de Rectangle nous dit qu'on sert a ryen. Humour attention

Rich in history and stories. A tour guide can guide you through the area, but it did feel a bit rushed for me. I don't think I got enough time to look at all the artifacts. Despite this, there were so many people to visit. My guess is thousands at least per day in summer. If you need a wheelchair, you won't be able to enter many buildings due to stairs. Most of the history is inside the buildings where the artifacts are housed.

Massive history and a terrible history. Was amazing to see. Tour took about two hours and there's lots of walking so wear comfortable shoes. Definitely worth the extra to take the tour as so much to see spread out over the whole site. Security check at the entrance and only allowed a small bag.

It was an experience. I recommend buying tickets before hand as the line can be long. The place itself has a lot of things to show and it can get emotional because suddenly it all becomes real. Having a guide was really nice because there were things we definitely didn’t know about.

(Translated by Google) I've been there twice it's interesting and very informative 👍👍👍 (Original) Bol som tam dvakrát je to tam zaujímavé a veľmi poučné 👍👍👍

The experience is very hard to describe and unfortunately one can't say it is enjoyable, but it is definitely a must visit place! This mustn't happen again!

Amogus

I built this place on a minecraft world once. Cool place

this has inspired me to fail art school.

my granparents never came back

Place every person should visit. The tortures, forced labour & extermination of people in this and other camps was happening only 80 years ago in central Europe! Seeing & listening about what victims went through certainly puts many aspects of life in perspective and educates on the extend of evil that people are capable of. May we never forget. Visiting with tour guide recommended.

Thank you kindly to our tour guide Ms. Iwona for amazing yet very emotional journey through the museum. The tour with a guide takes about 3.5 hours which allows to see a few buildings but if anyone would like to see all of the museum, they should come for 2 days. There is no way to see it all in a few hours or even 1 day.

A huge museum, which is being restored to this day and is still being preserved. Book the tour in advance because you can get alone and for free only after 15:00. We got a very nice girl guide, it was very interesting and pleasant to listen to. We visited both camps, the total tour took about 4 hours. This place is very atmospheric, creepy. It is obligatory for everyone to visit, you need to know and not forget the history so that there are no more such things.

You MUST visit before you die... no need for expensive tours , take a train that costs 30 , two ways , enterance with quide costs 90

(Translated by Google) C not cool. (Original) C pas cool.

It is very difficult to "star rate" something of that magnitude, a place where so many lifes have been taken. I am giving 5stars but everyone needs to visit the place, experience it and come to personal conclusions and revelations. Taking aside the camp and its tragic events and stories, I can say that the place is well organized, with easy access, plenty of parking spaces and helpful and friendly staff. There are guides and tours and many things are translated into many languages. One word of a warning so to speak - when you decide to visit the camp, be prepared that this is not going to be your happiest day... Still, very much worth to see.

Impressiv! Very enriching but extreamly sad at the same time. Chilling and very emotional. It's important to go there at least once, to know the history, know what happened, raise awareness of the subject and make sure it never happens again. You see it differently as in history class. The visit lasted for 6 hours but we didn't see the time pass. The guide was on top! They are very well organized. But people have to be mentaly strong for such a visit, because it isn't easy.

I remember coming here four years ago with my college and a college we partnered with. I remember pulling up in the bus with the other students and my heart bang to race knowing that I was going to walk into a place where millions of lives were taken. We step off the bus got into our groups and began the tour. When I looked up and saw the sign "work will make you free," we walked through the first building seeing all the different artifacts that were left behind. The building that I had the most trouble in was the artifact building where you can see the hair, shoes, suitcases, glasses, clothes, etc. When the tour got to the children's section I broked down and began to cry. The rest of the tour was listening to the different stories of those who died and how they tried to escape. I will never forget that day for the rest of my life.

It was an extremely touching experience, one that everybody should do in order to be a witness of the level of madness humanity can reach. The tour lasts about 3 hours, our guide Ursula was very accurate and very respectful in telling us what happened here.

Fascinating memorial. We visited for half a day on our own without a tour. To reach the memorial you can take the bus from Krakow. Seems to be possible to book in advance however we paid on the bus itself. On arrival a free visitor pass is available, some tours were available too. Visitor passes are claimed to be available only before 10am. Overall I suspect it’s fine to visit on your own and it’s much cheaper. 👌

(Translated by Google) An important place because of the sheer amount of suffering that happened in this place. Well-preserved and restored objects full of "memorabilia" of those events. It is undoubtedly a moving place and at the same time full of reflection. The guide who showed us was very knowledgeable because he told everything in detail. Take a few hours to see everything. The downside is quite expensive parking. Worth seeing (Original) Ważne miejsce ze względu już na sam ogrom cierpienia do jakiego doszło w tym miejscu. Dobrze zachowane i odtworzone obiekty pełne "pamiątek" po tamtych wydarzeniach. Jest to niewątpliwie miejsce poruszające a zarazem pełne zadumy. Pan przewodnik który nas oprowadzał miał dużą wiedzę gdyż opowiadał wszystko ze szczegółami. Należy poświęcić kilka godzin na zwiedzenie wszystkiego. Na minus to dość drogi parking. Warto zobaczyć

(Translated by Google) Very scary and full of sorrow place! By visiting this museum, you fully understand all the atrocities committed by the Nazis on people! After the tour you will leave for a long time and digest the information! (Original) Дуже страшне та повне скорботи місце!

It’s great place to think about life, innocent souls and cruelty. It’s not only a history, but also a big lesson to each of us. I will highly recommend to everyone to visit this place.

Absolutely great experience. The place is very big with so many buildings and different objects to remember the fallen. Many countries also have a special building dedicated to them to remember their sacrifices and the unfortunate ones who were sent there. The resistance was also remembered among many other things. Haunting yes but also hugely important as how it was beautifully said : It is enough for the good people to just look away for the evil to win.

I ate a kielbasa with some mustard on it and had bad gas!!!1 I had to take a long shower after!

(Translated by Google) This place is a monument to cruelty and inhumanity. Watching films is one thing, but from what you see live, and the idea of ​​how people were bullied and the scale of the crimes, it just becomes uncomfortable .. (Original) Это место - памятник жестокости и бесчеловечности. Посмотреть фильмы это одно, а от увиденного вживую, и представления, как как издевались над людьми и от масштабов преступлений, просто становится не по себе..

I enjoy my experience too bad they shut it down

(Translated by Google) Lots of news, great guide. I recommend visiting this place of human drama. (Original) Bardzo dużo wiadomości, wspaniały przewodnik.Polecam odwiedzić to miejsce ludzkich dramatów.

(Translated by Google) Today we were returning from Zakopane .. We wanted to visit this special place for us .. We checked the opening hours on the road - it was until 7.00 pm .. and tuuuu ???

Chcieliśmy odwiedzić to szczególne dla nas miejsce.. W trasie sprawdzaliśmy godz otwarcia- było że do 19stej.. a tuuuu??? Do 16.. Zjechalismy z trasy- 2godz drogi do tyłu. Może zaktualizujcie poprostu Google?? P.S. Nie bylismy jedyni, którzy chcieli wtedy wejść!!

The terrible thing happend here. But we must to know the truth.

This is such a powerful place. No-one should miss If they are visiting Kraków. However, make sure you book in advance and have in mind that guided tours also contain visit to both venues. Local buses are not very often, so pay attention to the timetable so that you do not have to wait too much.

Impactful. This is the only way I'd describe this experience. Walking through this place will simultaneously send chills down your spine, and cause you to reflect a bit. Would highly recommend, but not for the faint of heart.

Was a great experience. Very emotional. The organization has a done a good job preserving and maintenance of the place. Everyone should visit this place at least once in their lives to get a glimpse of what history was like and be grateful for what we have now.

It’s a place you must visit , such horrible acts committed here, very sad place to visit but worth the trip

Powerful to say the least! This was part of my bucket list of places to visit and WOW it did not disappoint. Moving does not do this place justice, understanding what the Jews, gypsies and other minorities went through during the Second World War, you can watch as many documentaries as you like but actually walking in their footsteps really does bring it home…..Unforgettable

Really gut wrenching, but you need to see it. Everyone needs to see this once in their lifetime.

(Translated by Google) A museum that incredibly conveys the atmosphere of this sad place. Impressions and awareness of what was done remains for life, even from a simple visit.

(Translated by Google) Nice place for a walk, bike or picnic, although swimming is not allowed. And probably also for fishing, because there are always plenty of anglers, but probably for members of the club. It is actually an undeveloped and wild place. There is no catering infrastructure. This is a private property of the Synthos company, but not fenced off and generally accessible. At least for now ☺ (Original) Fajne miejsce na spacer, na rower lub piknik chociaż zakaz kąpieli. A także chyba na wędkarstwo, bo zawsze pełno tam wędkarzy, ale chyba to dla członków koła. To w sumie miejsce niezagospodarowane i dzikie. Nie ma żadnej infrastruktury gastronomicznej. To teren prywatny firmy Synthos, ale nie zagrodzony i ogólnie dostępny. Przynajmniej na razie ☺

They kept this place as it was, from the historical thoughts. Also they renovated some other parts. It was very sad and depressing tour.

I want To appreciate the people who works there. We were late, because we lost on our way to there, so we were one minute before closing, and we asked them to let us in, for a quick tour. And they were so kind, and helpful, so we could have our tour. So thank you so much for your kindness. P. S: the place was terrifying, and it will be a memory forever,in a bad way...( I almost cried for a few times) But I think this is what everyone know, it's not new.

A must see bucket list destination. Just coming here it has an almost eerie feel to it. Very glad I came, and made time. The Auschwitz camp is a lot less walking than the Birkenau camp, but bring walking shoes if you're planning on doing both. Start at the South East Auschwitz 1 camp, you need tickets here first (it's free if you bring an id, my passport got me in free) but you cannot get into the Birkenau camp without the ticket. Plan for well over an hour and a half if you plan on getting through everything, and last thing, there's a free shuttle that goes between the 2 camps, and it starts getting dark here close to 4pm. Hope this helps!

(Translated by Google) Highly recommended. Fantastic place for vacation even for a long period, we were very excited as soon as we arrived <3 I spent an incredible weekend with the family, we had a lot of fun !!!

Very impressive. Buying cards on line seems handy, but we didn't get them via the mail after payment .at the museum we had to wait for more then 1 hour to have them printed, so we were 5 minutes late....but it was worth it.

Sad to see to what extent humans can be cruel and devious.

It is worth a visit as it bring great experience. As we should never forget what happened

A very touching but worthwhile experience bless

An experience everybody must go through. I was on the verge of tears. Definitely book a tour guide online, it is easier and makes your trip much comfortable.

Striking atmosphere and sadness there

We had a very fantastic guide Jacob (English translation of Jakub), very informative, highly recommend this guide, only wish I would have gotten his last name to properly recommend him to others, perhaps he is the only one with that name so it won’t make a difference!

Makes you feel a certain kind of way. Interesting, full of info but you should be prepared for very hot temperatures and very little shade in the summer. Lot of walking but worth it

One of the must visit place when you travel to Krakow

the parking prices are way top high, but the museum is quite amazing. its disturbing but also interesting to see the history of that place.

Very detailed tour, thank you Cristof. Very heartbreaking to learn of the humiliation, pain and suffering before being murdered by the sick and evil Germans involved. What they did after death was appalling and my heart bleeds for the victims.

A must see place to see the cruelty of man,Very accurate images and buildings of the past detailing the Holocaust (Very long walk involved so we had to stop many times to refresh ourselves)

One of the most amazing places I've ever visited, a lesson in history, and humility, a living testament to human ignorance. It's best with a tour guide for better access and learning about the camp.

It was amazing. Definitely gave me a lot to think about. It was clean and all, but I need to give only 4 stars, because their audio guide was not working, there was only efferevescence rarely interrupted by normal human voice. I recommend it to everyone, since everybody should see and learn from this. Sincerely Matěj Zahrádka

Go experience to visit this sad place. We must learn from history.

Let me begin by stating that my review is not about Auschwitz itself, but rather about the tourist experience and management. Auschwitz is an incredibly significant historical site that I believe everyone should visit at least once in their lifetime. My visit took place in July 2023, during the high season, and unfortunately, the parking situation was quite chaotic. The parking lot was completely full, and I encountered a few individuals (Karen's) who were standing in parking spaces claiming it was theirs without a car in it. So if you plan on visiting by car, I recommend coming during less crowded times to avoid any inconvenience. While purchasing a tour, I found the guides to be polite and helpful. However, some of them struggled with English, which made it challenging to fully grasp the information they were conveying. As a tip, I suggest considering the free pass option after 16:00, as it allows for a longer visit than the advertised 15 minutes. One important aspect to keep in mind when visiting Auschwitz is to show respect. Unfortunately, I noticed several people taking pictures and selfies, which felt inappropriate given the somber nature of the place. It's crucial to put your phone away and truly pay your respects. Additionally, I was disheartened to witness some tourists writing their names on the camp walls. This behavior is utterly disrespectful and should never be done. Overall, while there were some issues with the parking and language barriers, visiting Auschwitz remains a profoundly impactful experience. I urge everyone to approach the site with reverence and honor the memory of those who suffered there."

Very informative, expect to take a whole day if you are walking both sides. Camp 1 (museum) has everything you need to know written, but for camp2 it’s best with guided tour or research before hand.

It was always hard for me to visit this place. But we can’t deny the history. I could trace back to those “unreal” days of victims of World War 2… I can’t explain how sad it was…

Eine unglaubliche Erfahrung war dieser Besuch. Wir waren total angefasst. Die Führung war sehr sehr gut gelungen. Ich empfehle die Führung in jedem Fall. In unserem Fall hat diese 6 Stunden gedauert. Jede Minute war es wertvoll..

Ein bewegender Tag in Auschwitz-Birkenau, der mich tief berührt hat. Dieser Ort erinnert uns daran, wie wichtig es ist, die Geschichte zu verstehen und sicherzustellen, dass sich solche schrecklichen Ereignisse nie wiederholen.
