Is Birkenau sightseeing included in the Auschwitz tour?

Yes, it is. A visit to the former Auschwitz II – Birkenau extermination camp takes about 20-30 minutes. If you book your own private tour, you can decide how much time you’ll spend in each place, and can also take a drive up to Auschwitz III – Monowitz, the premises of the former IG Farben factory.
