    The trip

    Private transport for a demanding day

    You get a private car and an English-speaking driver, with a full day set aside for your visit to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial. We pick you up at your address, in Kraków or wherever you are staying. We drive the roughly 70 km to Oświęcim, wait on site for as long as your visit takes, and bring you back. You travel on your own schedule, in a Mercedes-Benz, with the return already part of the booking.

    The Memorial uses mandatory timed entry. You reserve your pass for a specific time through the official Auschwitz Memorial website, and in peak season slots fill weeks ahead. Entry time is fixed, so we set your pickup to give you time to spare. The same driver waits through the full visit, typically around 3.5 hours across Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau, and the return needs no further planning.

    This is Auschwitz transport from Kraków, private and door to door, not a guided tour. Museum entry passes and the Memorial's licensed educators are separate. You reserve passes yourself through the official channel, and educator-led visits are booked with the Memorial. If you would like help arranging either, let us know when booking.

    The price is fixed per vehicle, not per person, and covers the whole day: 6 to 7 hours door to door, with about 1 hour 15 minutes of driving from Kraków to Auschwitz each way. You see the full cost before you confirm, and nothing about the day depends on a group timetable.

    Questions travellers ask

    Are museum entry passes included in the price?

    No. The Memorial requires timed entry, and you reserve passes through the official Auschwitz Memorial website. In peak season, slots fill weeks ahead. If you would like help choosing an entry time that works with your pickup, let us know when booking.

    Is a licensed guide included?

    No. This is private transport only. Visits led by the Memorial's licensed educators are booked separately with the Memorial. We can help arrange one. Let us know when booking, or contact us with your dates.

    How long does the whole day take?

    Plan for 6–7 hours door to door: about 1 hour 15 minutes of driving each way, plus the visit itself. Seeing both Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau typically takes around 3.5 hours.

    How far is Auschwitz from Kraków?

    About 70 km. The drive from your address in Kraków to the Memorial in Oświęcim takes roughly 1 hour 15 minutes each way.

    Does the driver wait during the visit, or do I arrange the return separately?

    The driver waits on site for your entire visit. The return drive is part of the same booking. You walk back to the car when you are ready, and nothing further needs arranging.

    Is the price per person or per vehicle?

    Per vehicle, fixed in advance. Whether you travel alone or fill every seat, the price stays the same, and you see the full amount before you confirm.

    Where does the pickup happen?

    At any address in the pickup zones our booking form offers: a hotel, an apartment, or elsewhere. Kraków is the default starting point; other zones, such as Warsaw, appear in the form when available. Starting from Warsaw? There is a dedicated day trip from Warsaw with its own times and pricing. The journey times on this page are quoted from Kraków, so a start from another city makes the day longer. The price covers door-to-door pickup and drop-off.

    I only need transport one way. Is that possible?

    Yes. Book the single leg instead: Kraków to Auschwitz for the outbound drive, or Auschwitz to Kraków for the return.

    Can this be combined with Wieliczka Salt Mine in one day?

    Yes, as a separate itinerary: Auschwitz-Birkenau and Wieliczka Salt Mine combines both stops in one longer day. That page has its own timing and price.

    What is the best way to get from Kraków to Auschwitz: train, bus, or private car?

    The train and bus both reach Oświęcim, but each runs on its own timetable, not around your entry slot. Entry time is fixed, so arriving on time matters. A private car leaves when you choose, drives door to door, and the same driver handles the return. Public transport costs less. A private transfer removes the timing risk.
