Auschwitz-Birkenau tour
Auschwitz-Birkenau was the largest of the German Nazi concentration and extermination camps. Located in German-occupied southern Poland, it took its name from the nearby town of Oświęcim (Auschwitz in German), situated about 50 kilometers west of Kraków and 286 kilometers from Warsaw. Following the German occupation of Poland in September 1939, Oświęcim was incorporated into Germany as part of the Katowice District, or unofficially East Upper Silesia, and renamed Auschwitz.
You can find there 3 main camps Auschwitz I, the administrative center; Auschwitz II (Birkenau), an extermination camp; and Auschwitz III, a work camp. The first two of them have been on the World Heritage List since 1979. There were also around 40 satellite camps, some of them tens of kilometers from the main camps, with prisoner populations ranging from several dozen to several thousand.
Salt Mine Wieliczka tour
The Wieliczka Salt Mine, nowadays practically on the southeast outskirts of Krakow, has been worked for 900 years. It used to be one of the world\\\’s biggest and most profitable industrial establishments when common salt was commercially a medieval equivalent of today\\\’s oil. Always a magnet, since the mid-18th century Krakow\\\’s Wieliczka salt mine has become increasingly a tourist attraction in the first place. Today visitors walk underground for about 2,000m in the oldest part of the salt mine and see its subterranean museum, which takes three hours or so.
Zakopane
Zakopane is situated in southern Poland, about 100 km to the south of Cracow, close to the border with Slovakia. It lies in a valley at the foot of The Tatras, the highest mountains in Poland. The centre lies at about 840 m above sea level, but some parts are even as high as 1000 m above sea level on the slopes of Gubałówka - a hill that surrounds it from the south.
Zakopane district is considered the most attractive tourist region in Poland. The Tatras, the hills of Podhale as well as the town itself are ideal places for walks, those longer or shorter hikes. A walk around the town can be combined with visiting its monuments and other interesting places.
Częstochowa tour
This is where you can see The Black Madonna of Częstochowa icon that was, according to legend, painted by St. Luke the Evangelist on a cypress table top from the house of the Holy Family. One of the oldest documents from Jasna Góra states that the picture travelled from Jerusalem, via Constantinople, to finally reach Częstochowa in August 1382 . The Black Madonna is credited with miraculously saving the monastery of Jasna Góra (English: Bright Mount) from a Swedish 17th century invasion, which actually changed the course of the war.
The Jasna Góra Monastery is a Pauline Fathers monastery in the City of Częstochowa.
