What to expect
After the pick-up, your guide drives towards Lublin, approximately 190 kilometres from Warsaw (a 2.5-hours drive). It’s a chance to experience the Polish countryside and ask your guide all the questions you can imagine. He’s your host; his passion is to make you understand Poland and its history. Majdanek was a Nazi German concentration and extermination camp established on Lublin’s outskirts during Poland’s German occupation in World War II. The camp, which operated from October 1, 1941, until July 22, 1944, was captured nearly intact because the Soviet Red Army’s rapid advance prevented the SS from destroying most of its infrastructure. This site remains the best-preserved extermination camp of the Holocaust. It seems to be overshadowed by the Auschwitz camp museum, which is, sadly, overcrowded and has become a destination for mass tourism nowadays. Majdanek museum is a place one can visit without rush, in quiet and with respect to those who ended their lives there.

After the visit to Majdanek guide will take you to the Old Town of Lublin. This city thrived as a centre of trade and commerce due to its strategic location between Vilnius and Kraków; the inhabitants had the privilege of free trade in Lithuania’s Grand Duchy. The Lublin Parliament session of 1569 created a real union between the Crown of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, thus forming the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Lublin was a royal city of the Crown Kingdom of Poland, and for centuries, the town has flourished as a centre of culture and higher learning, with Kraków, Warsaw, Poznań, and Lwów. Although Lublin was not spared from severe destruction during World War II, its picturesque and historic Old Town has been preserved in outstanding condition. You can choose one of many Lublin Old Town restaurants for lunch or leave this choice to your guide. The cost of the lunch is not included in the tour price.
