Admission to the grounds of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial is free of charge, but all visitors must reserve a personalized entry pass in advance via the official website[7][8][5].
While you can tour the site on your own at no cost, many visitors choose a guided tour with an official museum educator, for which a fee is charged. The typical cost for these guided tours is about 130 PLN per person (in English), which includes the guide and audio equipment[1]. Guided group rates and prices in other currencies may vary depending on the provider and the type of tour selected[2][3].
Entry passes for self-guided visits (without an educator) are available only by advance online reservation. These passes are limited and tend to be booked well in advance, especially during peak season[1][5]. For guided tours, you can book tickets online through the official Auschwitz website, and it is recommended to do so as early as possible to secure your preferred time slot[1][7].
Do note: some third-party tour companies offer packages that include transport, entry fees, and guides, usually at higher prices than booking directly through the museum[2][4][6].
