Info
Majdanek Nazi German Concentration and Extermination Camp
Located just on the outskirts of Lublin, Majdanek is one of the most well-preserved Nazi German concentration and extermination camps in Europe. Unlike many camps hidden away in remote areas, Majdanek was situated unusually close to a large urban center — a chilling testament to how openly the atrocities of the Holocaust were carried out.
Established by the Nazis in 1941, the camp was intended as a hub of forced labor to serve the ambitions of the German Reich in Eastern Europe. Over 150,000 prisoners from nearly 30 countries passed through Majdanek, including Jews, Poles, Russians, Belarusians, Ukrainians, and others. Many were murdered in gas chambers, while others died from forced labor, starvation, and disease. The camp was liberated by the Red Army on July 23, 1944, and today it stands as a powerful reminder of the horrors of the Holocaust.
Visitors to the Majdanek State Museum can explore a vast, haunting area that includes original barracks, watchtowers, gas chambers, crematorium, and prisoner facilities. A monumental Mausoleum contains ashes of victims, making the visit both educational and deeply moving.
▶️ Why choose Majdanek over Auschwitz?
While Auschwitz is often the most well-known site, Majdanek offers a similarly powerful experience — with fewer crowds, easier logistics from Warsaw, and ticket availability even on short notice. In fact, many travelers find the visit to Majdanek equally emotional and enlightening, with less commercialized surroundings and more room for quiet reflection.
This tour is perfect for those looking for a meaningful Holocaust memorial experience near Warsaw, without the need to travel across the country.
Lublin – The Cultural and Jewish Heritage Center of Eastern Poland
Often referred to as the cultural heart of Eastern Poland, Lublin is a charming city filled with history, art, and intellectual life. The city's blend of East and West European influences made it a candidate for the European Capital of Culture in 2016, and its thriving cultural scene continues to attract artists, students, and visitors year-round.
Before World War II, Lublin was a major center of Jewish culture and learning, often called the "Jewish Oxford". It was home to the Chachmei Lublin Yeshiva, one of the most prestigious academies for rabbinical studies in the world. You can still visit the former Jewish district, the Old Synagogue site, and the Grodzka Gate, known as the “Jewish Gate,” which served as a symbolic and literal passage between the Jewish and Christian quarters of the city.
During your guided visit, you can choose between a general sightseeing route — exploring the picturesque Old Town, Lublin Castle, Trinity Chapel, and viewpoints like the Trinity Tower — or a Jewish heritage tour, focusing on sites such as the Old Jewish Cemetery (dating back to 1541), Yeshiva, and other key historical locations.

DE last minute plan!
Fortunately they had room, it was a DE last minute plan as the agency we had hired before had cancelled us a day earlier but, the friendliness, the transport, the route, the explanation, everything was perfect. It came with lunch included and the chosen place could be NO better. 100% recommended. There was NO guide who spoke Spanish but this was specified to us from the beginning and anyway the EN English communication with the guide was always very efficient.
Lublin and Majdanek Tour
The Lublin and Majdanek tour was an outstanding experience. Maciej, the driver was very professional, always making sure the group was comfortable. Maks, the tour guide was very knowledgeable. Both Maciej and Maks are amazing individuals, I very much enjoyed speaking with them. The first part of the trip was to Majdanek camp. Majdanek was one of the most memorable historical sites that I've visited, the history was fascinating but also very tragi c. The Second part of the trip was to Old Town of Lublin. The gothic and renaissance architecture in old town is a sight to see, very beautiful. Chapel of the Holy Trinity was breathtaking, so much history in one location. The 14th century castle was very impressive and well preserved. The entire tour was fantastic, I highly recommend this tour. Thank you to the AB Poland Travel team for such an amazing opportunity. ... [read more]

Exciting experience
A very interesting tour, both for the beauty of the city of Lublin and for the emotional impact of visiting the Majdanek camp. The camp guide was passionate and knowledgeable; Anna, who accompanied us throughout the tour, was professional and attentive to our needs.
This is definitely a highly recommended excursion.
