From the bustle of Kraków’s Rynek to the stark quiet of Oświęcim, the drive heads roughly 70 km west. On site, two distinct grounds: Auschwitz I, brick barracks and exhibits, and Birkenau, a vast grid of tracks and fencing extended in 1944. You’ll see documented evidence—confiscated belongings, the Arbeit macht frei gate, wooden barracks, ruins of gas chambers—framed by state museum guides (est. 1947). The visit makes the logistics of deportations legible, right where trains rolled into the Birkenau ramp.
This is a timetable-driven day. Your driver collects you at your Kraków hotel and keeps the Mercedes on standby so transitions are smooth, including the short 3 km hop between sites and a measured break. Tickets are time-stamped and a licensed guide is prebooked; entry begins at Auschwitz I before continuing to Birkenau. With a dedicated chauffeur in Kraków, logistics fade into the background: early start, on-site waiting, and a swift return even if the tour runs long.

Your chauffeur’s tip
Aim for a 9:00–10:00 entry slot to miss the largest school groups, and bring a clear plastic sleeve—bags over 30×20×10 cm are not allowed at the gate.
