A Day of Deep Reflection at Auschwitz and Then Discovering Katowice
You start off your 4-day trip with a deep and introspective experience at the world-famous Auschwitz Birkenau site. This is going to be quite an emotional experience for many, and thus mentally draining. Although it only takes a few hours, you'll want a relatively clear day around it.
Nevertheless, you'll journey into Katowice afterward for your hotel. Katowice is an often over-looked city. It has its own individual charm, very different from nearby Kraków and Wrocław.
