1.Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum and Memorial Guided Tour from Krakow

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,510 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $83

Review of the Auschwitz-Birkenau tour from Krakow, with practical advice on guides, timing, transport, cost, comfort, and what to expect.

“We had a very interesting and moving day, not least due to our tour guide Mikael. He was incredibly knowledgeable, pleasant and showed great respect to the victims e.g. by keeping a three minute silence while we stood next to Block 11 and as we walked along the railroad tracks towards one of the crematoriums in Birkenau to encourage us to think of this as our memorial walk. It was tremendously touching and it all made a profound impact on us. We could easily have spent the whole day with Mikael just listening to him share his knowledge. We highly recommend a visit to Auchwitz-Birkenau.”

The vodka tasting at the end of the tour was also a truly unique experience. In my opinion, this is one of the must-visit museums in Warsaw. It is ideal for families and children as well. The museum is housed in the building of the old factory, which is beautifully restored and very well maintained—an outstanding job has been done. The building also features a restaurant, a café, and a gift shop offering vodka and other products.”

13.Polish Aviation Museum Skip-the-Line Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 200 reviews · from $7Best value

Explore Krakow’s Polish Aviation Museum for $7, with 300 aircraft and engines, rare wartime relics, and an open-air Soviet-era collection.

“This museum is a hidden gem with an airfield and hangers full of military planes, super for the price and we spent nearly 2 hours there. It's great for someone with an interest in airplanes/history etc. It's easily accessed by tram and we recommend getting the Jakdojade to get you on the right one. The only downsides were that the main exhibition room was closed to us for an event with no compensation and many of the exhibitions in the first entrance area have no other languages so we didn't spend much time there.Read more”
