The two stops

The programme combines Auschwitz I and Birkenau with the Wieliczka Tourist Route. The order of the visits may change. Check the time and meeting point in your confirmation.

Steps and time on site

The Wieliczka Tourist Route has about 800 steps. Keep this walking part in mind when deciding whether to combine the two visits. If you buy tickets directly, book the Memorial pass and the mine on their own sites.
