Krakow & Auschwitz

This Escorted Tour offers a deeply meaningful and well-organised 3-night city break to Krakow, one of Poland’s oldest and most culturally significant destinations. Krakow served as the royal capital for five centuries, and its historic centre remains remarkably intact. Our Krakow Auschwitz tour is designed for travellers who value a balance of guided educational visits and free time to explore at their own pace. The trip features a private guided tour of the Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau sites, providing a factual and respectful look at this critical period of 20th-century history. To ensure a smooth experience, we include direct flights from Dublin, private airport transfers, and the services of a representative throughout your tour days.
While in Krakow, you will stay in comfortable 3-star accommodation, with breakfast included each morning to start your day right. Krakow’s Main Market Square, Rynek Główny, is the heart of the city and one of the largest medieval squares in Europe. Here, you can hear the hourly trumpet call from the Basilica or enjoy the local hospitality in the many cafes and restaurants that line the historic streets. For those looking to see more of the region, we offer optional excursions to the world-famous Wieliczka Salt Mines, which can be pre-booked for your convenience. This holiday is an ideal choice for those who appreciate straightforward travel arrangements and a high standard of local knowledge. With all your essential flights, transfers, and a major guided excursion included in the price, this tour represents excellent value for Irish travellers looking to discover the history and culture of Poland.
