Transfer Krakow to Prague – Prague to Krakow: Top Atractions

Auschwitz

Birkenau Entrance Today On this trip you will be taken to a former Concentration Camp Auschwitz where one of the most terrible chapters of the history took place during WWII.

This is not an entertaining and funny trip but definitely an important one.

You will be overwhelmed not by the beauty of its buildings and interesting history, but you will wonder why such a horror could happen not so long ago.

Many well known people like Viktor Frankl or Elie Wiesel wrote about their experiences in Auschwitz and it soon became a dominant symbol of the Holocaust. Not long after the war it was turned into the Auschwitz State Museum and it serves as a memorial to the victims of the Holocaust and Nazism and as a harsh reminder of modern European history.

Auschwitz is made of two parts. Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II – Birkenau which served as the major place of the Nazi´s Final Solution to the Jewish Question. From 1942 to 1944 almost 1,3 million people were sent to the camp and 1,1 million were killed in gas chambers with the pesticide Zyclon B. Most of them were Jews.

or Olomouc

Olomouc is the sixth largest city in the Czech Republic while historically it used to be the capital city of Moravia, the eastern part of the country.

Very rich history of the city attracts many Czechs to visit the town but surprisingly the town is not very well known yet by foreign visitors. Surprisingly, as Olomouc´s heritage reservation is proudly and rightly regarded as the second most important in Bohemia, beaten by Prague only.

Come to see a famous UNESCO sight , Holy Trinity Column, a baroque masterpiece to be found in the middle of the town. A local Old Town Square is the second biggest square of its kind only after its Prague´s sibling. You cannot help to notice how similiar they are. Full of pastel colors built in baroque style with Gothic churches standing by.

Do let yourself to visit one of the most overlooked historical towns in Europe.

Krakow and Auschwitz Testimonials

“ Totally professional, beautifully customized”

A knowledgeable, English speaking driver picked us up from our hotel in Krakow and drove us to Prague, pointing out places of interest on the way. In Prague, a tour guide joined our group and showed us the important sites and museums for half a day. The next day, the same guide with a different driver, for half a day, showed us many of the important sites and attractions we had missed the previous day. Altogether a wonderful experience!
