For those with a strong stomach, Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest concentration camp in history, is an important place to visit. It is sad, loaded with negative energy, but it makes you reflect about life, the importance of the little things and the freedom that we have in the world today. The city is about an hour from Krakow and the English tour has several time options, including 9:30, 12:30 and 14:30. It was possible to do it on my own, but I booked a package for 135 PLN (36 USD) to be fetched and brought in the hostel, plus the guided tour.
