Is it better to do Auschwitz and salt mines in one day?


Is it better to do Auschwitz and salt mines in one day? Some suggest that it is better to do both in one day as the salt mines will bring the mood back up a bit after visiting Auschwitz, but personally I would not recommend doing both in one day. Three weeks ago we returned from Krakow. I ordered through a web transfer from the airport to the hotel, so we know Zibi.


Can you walk around Auschwitz on your own?

Individual visitors may tour the Memorial independently or in organised groups with a guide-educator. Entrance to the Museum, to both Auschwitz I and Birkenau parts, is possible only with a personalized entry pass booked in advance. Reservations can be made at visit.auschwitz.org or on the spot at the cashier.


Can you just turn up to the salt mines?

If you don't have your tickets booked in advance, you might have to wait about 30 minutes to an hour to get your tickets and head inside the salt mine. The best thing to do is to book your tickets online and choose either a guided tour or skip the line tickets.
