Memorial and Museum Auschwitz-Birkenau Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
An emotional experience at Auschwitz
Everyone has heard of the horrors that happened during the second World War. In Europe, Poland was hit hardest and millions of Jewish people died, many of them here at Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp.
Located near the beautiful town of Krakow, you can easily visit this site on a day trip, either with your own transport or on one of the many tours.
You can visit some of the barracks to see the poor conditions in which the people lived. There are also many exhibitions showing some pictures as well as items from that time. But easily the most important part are the gas chambers where the people were put to death. You can't help but being moved.
The Museum is located on the outskirts of the city of Oświęcim on national road 933.
Admission to the grounds of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial is free.

The pictures are from the Auschwitz-Birkeneau in nowadays called town of Oswiecim - #poland . It is a place form the world war 2 and maybe everyone heard about it. The birkeneau is free for visiting and there is no need of reservation. However for the museum you need to book in advance even it costs 0$. The place is really interesting and worth a visit.

Just had a profoundly moving day at the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum. The entrance is free, a stark reminder that some experiences are beyond any price tag. 🕊️
Walking through the gates sent shivers down my spine. The museum is a heartbreaking testament to the atrocities of the Holocaust. The exhibits are haunting, from personal belongings to the chilling photos that capture the unimaginable. 😢
Birkenau, the vastness of it, is almost surreal. Standing by the railway tracks, it hits you – the scale of the tragedy. The solemnity of the memorial and the remnants of barracks leave you in somber reflection. 🚂
The guided tour is incredibly informative, providing historical context and personal stories that humanize the unimaginable suffering. The memorial's commitment to education and remembrance is palpable. 📚
Post-visit, I took a moment at the nearby Oświęcim town square – a small but resilient town with its own history. It's a poignant continuation of the day's reflections. 🏰 #AuschwitzMemorial #HolocaustRemembrance #HumanityPrevails #NeverForget
