Overnight international flight to the capital of Poland, Warsaw.

Upon arrival to Warsaw, you will be met at the airport and privately transferred to your hotel. The rest of the day is free at your disposal. You can get some rest and prepare for the next day devoted to sightseeing in the city.

Warsaw is the capital and largest city of Poland. It is notable among Europe's capital cities not for its size, its age, or its beauty but for its indestructibility. It is a phoenix that has risen repeatedly from the ashes of war.

Today, you will be met at your hotel and start a sightseeing tour of Warsaw. The tour starts with a short walk around the Old Town. The area of the Old Town was completely destroyed during the Defensive War in 1939 and the Warsaw Uprising. Today, you can see it rebuilt: The Royal Castle, the townhouses and churches. Warsaw's Old Town is a living proof of the great efforts of its citizens to restore the beauty of their city.

Leaving the Old Town by the Royal Route, you will continue to the former Jewish ghetto to hear the world-famous story of Warsaw's Jews and see the sites of their heroic fight against Nazi Germans during the war. The last stop is the Lazienki Royal Park with its magnificent greenery, lakes, streams, animals and 18th century houses.

For the evening we propose a Chopin Piano Concert. You will have a unique chance to listen to the compositions of the most famous Polish Musician.

The history of Wroclaw was turbulent - throughout the ages it belonged to four different countries and its name was changed several times. After World War II, it had to be rebuilt from ruins, and has become one of the main tourist destinations of Poland. Its three must-sees are: The Old Town - with the marvelously restored Market Square at its center and its maze of cobbled streets, canals, bridges and church spires; Ostrow Tumski - the oldest part of the city, founded as a village in 9th century by a Slavic tribe, it now hosts a medieval Cathedral; and the Centennial Hall - an UNESCO Heritage Site.

The Lower Silesia region (where Wroclaw is located) is known from many interesting historical sites dating back to 17th century. As the region's history was very turbulent (it was ruled by Poland, Czechia, Austria, Prussia and Germany) you can see many different influences.

Today you will visit two charming towns: Swidnica and Ksiaz.

Swidnica is a small town with a very interesting Evangelical (Augsburg denomination) Church of Peace, which is the largest timber-framed religious building of its kind in Europe. This beautifully decorated church, similarly to the church in the town of Jawor, was built after the Thirty-years' war as a manifestation of a limited religious tolerance in the Catholic Habsburg monarchy. In 2001 these special churches were added to the UNESCO list.

Ksiaz Castle is the biggest, and one of the best-preserved castles in the Lower Silesia region. It's also the third biggest castle in Poland (you have seen the other two - in Warsaw and Malbork) This majestic residence, picturesquely located on a rocky promontory deep in the forest, was transformed into a bomb-proof bunker for Hitler during the war.

After breakfast you will leave Wroclaw and head for Krakow. On the way you will stop in Oswiecim, the town where the Museum Auschwitz - Birkenau is located.
For the sightseeing you will join the guided tour with local, English-speaking guide (groups of max. 30 people).

Note: The sightseeing route is quite long and walking only.

Auschwitz tours are obligatory for every citizen of the world visiting Poland. The Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum - which is listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List - makes an unforgettable impression on every visitor. Every year, millions of visitors walk through the gate with the cynic motto "Arbeit macht frei", a German phrase meaning "Work sets you free". The camp was started by Nazis as a concentration camp for Polish political prisoners.

In 1942, it became a focal point for the extermination of Jews. During a 5-year period, the Nazis killed 1,5 million people: Jews, Poles, Gypsies, Russians, and many other.

First, the guide will lead you through Konzentrationslager Auschwitz I, showing the surviving prison blocks, the gas chamber and the crematorium. The second part of your visit will cover the Auschwitz II Birkenau camp, where you can ascend the watchtower above the entrance gate to catch a view over the whole area of both concentration camps.

Today, most of the buildings house collections of original documents, as well as personal effects - or their remains - which are all that we have to remember the prisoners by. After the visit to the museum, you will continue to Krakow where you arrive in the afternoon.
