From Warsaw, Lublin and Majdanek State Museum Day Tour

Explore the historic Old Town district of Lublin during this guided tour. Following your exploration, pay homage to the legacy of the Holocaust at the Majdanek Memorial Site, one of the largest Nazi concentration camps in occupied Poland.

The journey commences early in the morning, escorted by an experienced English-speaking driver, who transports you from your hotel in Lublin to the historic center of this ancient city. This first stop takes approximately 1.5 to 2 hours.

Upon arrival, you embark on a guided tour of the Second Largest Concentration Camp in Occupied Poland, known as Majdanek. Established by the Germans in 1940, Majdanek lies just a few kilometers outside Lublin amidst the region's natural beauty. Your knowledgeable guide will provide insights into the policies implemented by the Nazi authorities during the period of the General Government, showcasing artifacts such as camp equipment, uniforms, and shoes taken from prisoners.

Following the poignant history lesson, you proceed to explore Lublin, another significant historical site within Poland’s rich cultural heritage. Founded in 1569, the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania united under this treaty, marking the establishment of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the largest European state prior to the 18th century.

This era saw the emergence of unique phenomena like the Council of Four Lands, a global-scale Jewish self-governance, and the establishment of a Jewish religious school, the Yeshiva, which enjoyed the status of a royal academy since its inception in the seventeenth century.

Today, visitors can experience the charm of the Old Town, stroll through the bustling Krakow Gate Promenade, or delve into the intricate architecture and vibrant street life that characterizes the urban landscape of Lublin.

In the afternoon, you will enjoy a leisurely break, including a meal and relaxation, before returning to Warsaw.
