Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum Tours and Tickets

Q: How much does it cost to visit the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum in 2026?

It’s free to visit the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum, but you must reserve your ticket in advance. Official museum educators lead guided tours, which cost 150 zloty for adults and 140 zloty for students under 26 or seniors aged 75 and over. Packages with round-trip transfers from Krakow and a group tour start at around US$60.

Q: Can you walk around Auschwitz without a tour?

Technically, yes, you can walk around Auschwitz without a tour guide or group—at least from November to March. From April to October (the high season), you can only explore the former WWII concentration camp via a guided tour. Entrance is always free, but you will need to book timed-entry tickets, regardless of season.

Q: How long does the Auschwitz tour take?

There are two main categories of Auschwitz tours: 2.5-hour tours and 3.5-hour tours. The 2.5-hour option includes the permanent exhibitions, buildings at the Auschwitz I-Main Camp, and the prisoner barracks and unloading platform at Auschwitz II-Birkenau. The 3.5-hour tour includes all of the above plus access to the gas chamber ruins and crematoria II or III.

Q: What should I wear to an Auschwitz tour?

There’s no official dress policy at Auschwitz, but visitors are expected to dress respectfully. Keep the significance of where you are in mind—nothing profane, nothing inappropriate—and you’ll be fine. Most visitors dress casually, for the weather, and for plenty of walking and standing. Dark colors are welcome but not necessary.

Q: What is the best time of year to visit Auschwitz?

The best time of year to visit Auschwitz depends on several factors. If you’d like to visit for free, you’ll need to time your arrival between November and March (outside this window, guided tours are mandatory). For the best weather, look to May to September, with June–August being the warmest months.

Great way to do a lot in one day

My adult son and I did the tour. You could do this tour easily using Just public transportation with some careful planning.However, having a private car, pick us up and take us to each spot was really convenient. Our driver was very nice and very safety conscious. Doing both of these in one day was very helpful as we were pressed for time.

Moving tour.

⸻ Visiting Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum is an incredibly moving and important experience. It’s so much more than a Memorial. A place where immersed suffering took place. . However, our tour time was changed and part of our visit ended up taking place after dark. Lighting was very limited, and many of us had to use our cell phones to see the uneven ground while walking. If your tour is later in the day, it’s something to be mindful of for safety and comfort.

Tour to Auswitz

I would like to give this tour ten stars. The driver (Mikal) was wonderful and the guide at the site (Rykard) was wonderful. The tour was so sad and so thought provoking. Both guides provided so much information about polish history and current life. Gave restaurant recommendations too. Both were professional. Driver was a good driver and the vehicle was clean.

The tour was operated by the Auschwitz’s museum guides as I understand all tours are and was very informative and powerful as expected. The driver, Michael, was excellent. Arrived 5 minutes early so we were in our way immediately. The car was clean and to an extra bit lunch was added. Would highly recommend.
