Poland has for long, remained as a favorite destination for many travelers. It has been connected as a place with a lot of historical significance. Places like Auswitch have been etched in the minds of people with massacre killings that took place even before World War II. Travelers can visit Auswitch during any time round the year, as it is kept open to the public as a memorial ground. Bus rides can be taken from Krakow to Auswitch and are the cheapest and best ways of transport in Poland. It is located between the valley of Sola that joins a river and is approximately 80 kilometers from Krakow.
Travelers prefer to travel by bus from Krakow to Auswitch and the travel lasts for about 2 hours. Besides opting for bus rides, there are metros and hitch -hiking. In Poland, bus rides are far cheaper than the metros and can reach the destination point in a short period of time. Most of the bus lines travel quite fast and stop only at specific points. So it is important to have information on your destination points before boarding buses. Most often, the bus routes from Krakow start from the main bus terminal known as the RDA. You can find the bus terminal near a shopping arcade called Galeria Krakowska and a regular fare for a one hour ride would cost around 11 PLN.
As the bus stops at only certain destination points, it is better to have information on taxis that patrol the bus routes. Most of the tourists find themselves to be stranded during these bus rides and cover the rest of the journey by taxis. They are quite expensive than bus rides. On an average, a bus fare from Krakow to Auswitch and to the nearby cities would cost less than 15 PLN. This explains the reason for tourists to prefer bus travel rather than taxis or the metros.
There are buses that shuttle between Auswitch to Birkenau for every half an hour and is loaded with tourists traveling to the main gate. These rides are completely free of cost and are supported by a charity trust run by the local museum. The museum is definitely a must to see on travel list as it explains about the massacre that took place at Auswitch. It mostly contains pictures that were taken during those days and also exhibits some of the journals written before the World War II. The entry fee to the museum is around 40 PLN and is worth the trip.
Most of the bus lines in Poland operate on similar lines that offer travelers to commute and enjoy sightseeing as well. Being cheap, these bus rides are easy to take on and would reach your destination at a rapid pace. Apart from the buses that shuttle to Auswitch, there are bus trips that travel towards the old camp sites and drops travelers back to the city centre. These rides roughly take about an hour or so and despite the traffic these bus routes are very safe and ensure a durable ride.
