Auschwitz: How long to see it/tour - from Krakow - costs?

Wondering how long it takes thanks

Here's the Wikitravel guide to Auschwitz

I travel around europe on my motorbike, sometimes alone and sometimes in groups. As a result I have been to the camp 3 times.

It is a very sad place that the Polish people have kept preserved in a manner that preserves without exploiting.

Just get a bus in your own good time and spend half aday.

There is a saltmine near Krakow. go there. I recommend to everyone.

Allow a whole day for Auschwitz as it takes around 1.5- 2 hours to get there by bus. When you get there, watch the short movie and then do a guided tour. I can't remember the exact cost but it was reasonable.

I would suggest doing the walk from Krakow to the camp. It takes a long time - but in the rain, you can experience just a little of what people went through, who had to walk there themselves in -20c of snow and wind, before they even arrived there.
A very moving day out and admission to the camp (I prefer that to the word museum) is free. You are welcome to take photos and use camcorders. An incredible experience.
