I am glad they didn’t destroy it after the war because it was very educational and I feel like everyone should visit and learn about the horrors of the past just so that they won’t be repeated. It’s a bit hard to process from the outside - at least for me it was. It was a beautiful sunny day when I went and like I knew where I was but it didn’t fully kick in until we went inside the blocks - that’s where you can really get a feel of the place. I feel like the pictures on the walls in one of the blocks is what broke me the most (more than the hair or the offspring shoes etc) - some of the people clearly had hope in their eyes. And it was heartbreaking to see such hopeful beautiful people portrayed considering what they had to go through.

Everyone that comes to Poland should visit this place. It's the most important historical event in recent European history. Easy accessible by own car or public? Busses from Krakow. Parking was 18 Zloty, 4 euro. Tickets have to be bought online before the visit. I would advise to pay for a guide to get extra information.

I want To appreciate the people who works there. We were late, because we lost on our way to there, so we were one minute before closing, and we asked them to let us in, for a quick tour. And they were so kind, and helpful, so we could have our tour. So thank you so much for your kindness. P. S: the place was terrifying, and it will be a memory forever,in a bad way...( I almost cried for a few times) But I think this is what everyone know, it's not new.

They kept this place as it was, from the historical thoughts. Also they renovated some other parts. It was very sad and depressing tour.

A must see bucket list destination. Just coming here it has an almost eerie feel to it. Very glad I came, and made time. The Auschwitz camp is a lot less walking than the Birkenau camp, but bring walking shoes if you're planning on doing both. Start at the South East Auschwitz 1 camp, you need tickets here first (it's free if you bring an id, my passport got me in free) but you cannot get into the Birkenau camp without the ticket. Plan for well over an hour and a half if you plan on getting through everything, and last thing, there's a free shuttle that goes between the 2 camps, and it starts getting dark here close to 4pm. Hope this helps!

Can’t describe how saddening it is but a must to visit to learn and see how people were treated during this time. It is extremely well kept and the guides are really knowledgable. You can buy guidebooks yourself and wander around take it in in your own pace or follow a guide and tour around. Honestly it feels weird to give it 5 stars but it is something I will never forget and I hope that we learn from this tragic place.

The experience is very hard to describe and unfortunately one can't say it is enjoyable, but it is definitely a must visit place! This mustn't happen again!
