History Tours

Among the most frequently performed of historical programs is to visit Auschwitz-Birkenau, mainly targeted at high school students. Welcome Tourist offers options for short, from one night only, but still very intense and rich software. Most are associated with a visit to Krakow, easy to reach by train and plane. Some programs with a visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau are addressed to selected countries.

 

Customers in Norway we turn involving further Ostrzeszow, who during World War II was a place of internment, the officers and soldiers of the Norwegian Army, which many Norwegians have never heard. We suggest visiting the Museum of Prisoners of War Camp in Zagan. It was there that was in time of war camp for Allied airmen Luft III, famous for the Great Escape in 1944 and its tragic repercussions.

 

We also want to draw attention to programs covering Karosta, military prison in Liepaja in Latvia, the KGB museum in Vilnius, Kaunas IX Fort or exciting atom continental rocket launchers in the Plokstine Forest in Lithuania.
