Great video, very informative! I'm a bit confused about the entry pass and hopefully you can help: I've checked the website and all the online reservations for individuals in next few days are gone, is it impossible to get in without an entry pass booked in advance? And you mentioned there's no restrictions after 4pm, meaning its possible to get in without anything booked in advance after 4pm? Also on the website it says "an additional limited number of entry cards for individual visits are available at the service points in front of the main entrance to the Museum everyday" do you know how that works? Thank you so much!
hey there! I was wondering if you have already travelled there. Im asking since I have the same issue.( Travelling there soon and cant figure out how the online reservations for individuals work)
@@timmichael8620 Yes, I went there but couldn't get in. There are free entry cards for individual visits available in the morning but they're gone quickly (enter after 4pm, without a guide), you will need to be there early in the morning, get that entry card if you're lucky, and go back at 4pm. Or just go to their website, book in advance (not free, pay for tickets but you'll have a tour guide)
Im pretty stunned and appalled at this video. I tried to keep an open mind while planning a trip next week, (when its cold, and the days are short- much like the lives extinguished there) and did so despite a very good inclination of exactly what this was going to be from your opening sequence: Another shameless “look at us” bucket list check off on some twisted “Broke Millennial Couples Guide to the Galaxy.” The dog whistle attempt at trying to appear empathetic in the process with slow music and slow motion was on brand. You knew, or should have known that the areas with shoes were prohibited areas for photography…but did it anyway. Thats who you both are, complete with smiles that have let you get away with many things I could imagine. Today you are getting called on it, and I will absolutely be addressing this with Google. Rest assured had I seen you in person behaving this way? There would have been a different video about your trip to Auschwitz.
@kyleandmadie I was going to enjoy your latest video from Europe- but cant seem to find a location other than Mexico in January. Ill keep looking for more great content. Im glad we have each others attention.
Hi..planning to visit in May 2023.. Does my plan look alright.. Day 1...Schindler musuem.. Day 2...Bus to Auschwitz from Glowny Day 3...Auschwitz Guided Tour Day 4...Self non guided tour Day 5...Reserve Day 6..back to krakow airport
I didn't know you could go without a tour! Was it certain hours? At Auschwitz 1 the tours are efficient but there is no time to stop and read as you get hurried through. It looked like you could pretty much go anywhere you wanted unhurried.
I believed that you are able to get there at 4pm and not have a guide! (Make sure to fact check me on that on the auschwitz website) but it was nice that we were able to move freely! Having a guide would have allowed us to stay longer because we had to catch the bus back to Krakow, so I guess it’s good if you want to save money, but bad if you wanted to see more things 😆
I just want to say that on the day we both explored on out own and went in a tour, you can do both if you give the day enough time and it's definitely worth it
Hi! Do you think a 2,5 hour tour without a guide would be fine? I am planning a trip to Auschwitz ( also on budget), only got tickets to 16.30 and the placce closes at 19:00, so I am a little bit hesitant, that maybe I should buy those guided tickets even if they are in polish in the morning. Also how long does the bus ride tak between the two camps?
Go to Georgia. For 60$ a day you would achieve unbeatable value for money. Trust me. I am from Poland and I've been there twice. This country is like Tuscany, the wild west and Tibet all rolled into one, only 5 times cheaper and surprisingly open to new technologies and modern world. Impossible mix of east and west in a very old medieval land. By the way. Grapevines come from Georgia. This is the country where this species has evolved and found its way to Europe and the rest of the world. The grapevine varieties you will see and the wines you will taste are so unique you will not find it anywhere else on this planet. And by the way, it is a country as extremely safe with generous people as Poland. Trust me You will not regret, you can thank me later. It is an exotic that is easily reached for you like low-growing fruit. Think about it.
If I remember rightly, south ossetia is in Georgia, and north ossetia in Russia. Is this a worry over there? When I was a bit younger I did plan a trip to caucasus, with Georgia being the no1 country to visit. Azerbaijan and Armenia seem too dangerous now
hopefully you can respond in time, im going on Wednesday with my girlfriend to Karkow. How do i get the passes without a guide? At the gate? if not where, thank you!
You have to do it online! Register for a time you want to go and then scan your ticket at the gate. I believe the website comes up when you type “visit auschwitz” into google
Aren’t most of these buildings just rebuilt? I thought the Germans and the Allies destroyed all the camps and then years later some were rebuilt for tourism
Many people died in Auschwitz, many died in the bombing of Dresden, many people have died already in the Ukraine... The nature of life. Some tragedies are more dramatic, but life makes a tragedy of all of us all eventually. If God was really unforgiving, we would have to live in this world forever.
There are a lot of terrible things that happen, but learning about different tragedies helps prevent history from repeating itself. Auschwitz is a must go to learn about tragedy and learn how it started/progressed over time!
There is no info board teaching you anything there. You have to prep yourself first in warsaw at the uprising museum and the Jewish life history museum.
@@kyleandmadie yeah It's a must see place, crazy to think that humans are capable of committing such horror to fellow human beings. Such uncivilised actions should never be tolerated agian.
We went in winter, snow on the ground. I'm guessing this adds to the atmosphere. Take a moment while you're there to notice the ravens, healthy and free, on the other side of the fence. I imagined myself as a prisoner looking at these birds, wanting to be out there in the woods with them.
Great video guys! Respectful and informative.
Thank you!! 🥰

That's awesome!!!
So amazing you guys stay on budget the way you do!! Such an emotional video. Can’t wait for the next video
Thank you :) Eastern Europe has proven to be difficult, but doable for our budget!
Great video, very informative!

love this I’m visiting Auschwitz’s this summer!
It’s a really sad, but interesting experience!
Hi..planning to visit in May 2023..
Does my plan look alright..
Day 1...Schindler musuem..
Day 2...Bus to Auschwitz from Glowny
Day 3...Auschwitz Guided Tour
Day 4...Self non guided tour
Day 5...Reserve
Day 6..back to krakow airport
Looks great!
@@kyleandmadie ...Thanks...
That sucks that the visit is timed. Do you recommend to go more than one day to get a better experience?
Excellent narration. Even we are in the same boat (regarding budget). And, I found it difficult to get the free pass (3 pax)
Any fun things to do in Poland 🇵🇱? Krakow or anything going next year
What month did you go and how was the weather
Soo was it worth it?! Wild seeing all those shoes and the chairs. Really put me in my feels.
Yes!!! A guide would have been very helpful but going alone was good too 😁
The pile of human hair is worse, plaits, pony tails etc

I just want to say that on the day we both explored on out own and went in a tour, you can do both if you give the day enough time and it's definitely worth it
on a tour you can definitely do both! They limit the times you're able to go by yourself :(
How did you buy the tickets?
Hi! Do you think a 2,5 hour tour without a guide would be fine? I am planning a trip to Auschwitz ( also on budget), only got tickets to 16.30 and the placce closes at 19:00, so I am a little bit hesitant, that maybe I should buy those guided tickets even if they are in polish in the morning.

do you have to set reservations for an unguided tour?
No! You’re able to go anytime after 4pm I’m pretty sure. Check the website to make sure on the time! 😁
what time you visited the memorial park?
Where can I book to visit Auschwitz’s? Don’t want a tour
What a great video,
Thank you!
Go to Georgia. For 60$ a day you would achieve unbeatable value for money. Trust me. I am from Poland and I've been there twice.

Georgia sounds amazing!!! Our next trip to Eastern Europe will have to include it 😁
If I remember rightly, south ossetia is in Georgia, and north ossetia in Russia. Is this a worry over there?
When I was a bit younger I did plan a trip to caucasus, with Georgia being the no1 country to visit. Azerbaijan and Armenia seem too dangerous now
Did you buy bus ticket online in advance or directly in the bus station? Thanks
In advance!
hopefully you can respond in time, im going on Wednesday with my girlfriend to Karkow. How do i get the passes without a guide? At the gate? if not where, thank you!
You have to do it online! Register for a time you want to go and then scan your ticket at the gate. I believe the website comes up when you type “visit auschwitz” into google
So how much was the ticket to get in to Auschwitz 1 and 2 with no guide?
It’s free! So is the shuttle between the two camps 😁
Aren’t most of these buildings just rebuilt? I thought the Germans and the Allies destroyed all the camps and then years later some were rebuilt for tourism

Oh no she pronounced the W in Krakow as a w in English. Its pronounced like the English "V"
Great vid though 👍
thanks!
The "ruined stuff" behind you was one of the gas chambers/crematoriums that Nazi's blew up before they fled
Yes! We did know that. We ran to the back of the camp to specifically see it!
@@kyleandmadie :) - there's a typo in video chapters - it says Oswiesim instead of Oswiecim*
@@boskee Thank you for pointing that out!!! we will fix it :)
This made me sick to watch
Yeah it's pretty intense going! We would highly recommend it
@@kyleandmadie yeah It's a must see place, crazy to think that humans are capable of committing such horror to fellow human beings.
Such uncivilised actions should never be tolerated agian.
It strikes me as disrespectful to wear shorts in this somber place !
Your logic is unclear here... Thanks for watching!
We went in winter, snow on the ground. I'm guessing this adds to the atmosphere.
Take a moment while you're there to notice the ravens, healthy and free, on the other side of the fence. I imagined myself as a prisoner looking at these birds, wanting to be out there in the woods with them.
what has shorts got to do with anything
“After getting money from our parents…l
there is a thing called "working to save your money". Just in case you didn't know :)
