If I plan to do a 2-day study tour in Auschwitz, is it worth to book a hotel near Auschwitz for overnight? Or it is better to stay in Krakow and take trains 2-day in row? Asking because I read another thread that it nis not really worth to stay in Auschwitz. I booked B&M Guesthouse but can be cancelled. I have not booked accommodation in Krakow yet.
Thanks advance for your reply
I think I said that, because Oswiecim is not that interesting (compared to Krakow) other than the camp. But you have a different reason for going than most tourists.
You'll be much happier in Krakow!
It is close to 90 minutes each way between Krakow and Auschwitz. Is it worth three hours of your valuable time for the privilege of sleeping in a slightly more charming location? I think not. Stick with the Guesthouse and take the opportunity to observe everyday Polish life, as opposed to the very touristy experience in Krakow. Assuming your trip includes time in Krakow before or after, that should be enough. Look at the Wawel Hotel, which I thoroughly enjoyed.
