Krakow to Auschwitz (Oswiecim) – Private Transfer

The Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial lies about 70 km west of Krakow, in the town of Oświęcim – roughly one hour and fifteen minutes by car. A private transfer is the calmest way to make this important journey: an English-speaking chauffeur collects you from your Krakow hotel and delivers you directly to the Memorial entrance.

Visits to the Memorial are organised around timed entry, so arriving punctually matters. With a private car you control the departure hour precisely, rather than depending on public bus schedules from the main station – and the door-to-door ride means the morning stays unhurried before what is, for most visitors, an emotionally demanding day.

Many guests prefer a fully organised visit with a licensed guide; those round-trip options are available among our tours from Krakow. This page covers the one-way private transfer, which suits visitors who have already booked their own entry passes or are combining Oświęcim with onward travel.

The vehicle is a premium Mercedes-Benz with room for every passenger's belongings, and the price is fixed per car, not per person – practical for families and small groups making the visit together. Chauffeurs on this route understand its nature and keep the ride quiet, professional and exactly on time.

For the journey back, book the Auschwitz to Krakow transfer so a car is waiting when you are ready to leave. You can also review the full list of fixed-price routes or the intercity rides overview if Oświęcim is one stop on a longer route.
