Independently

The site of the former Majdanek concentration camp is shrouded in fog; the watchtowers and a prisoner barracks are visible.
If you want to explore the Museum grounds independently, you do not need to make any reservations. We encourage you to use our free visiting app, which will guide you through the area and provide you with a detailed history of the camp.

Follow the Historical Route and See the Former Camp Buildings

During your visit, you will primarily explore the former camp grounds and its infrastructure. Information boards of the historical route entitled Konzentrationslager Lublin 1941–1944 will give you further background knowledge. They are in Polish, English, and Hebrew.

A group of visitors in summer clothes listens to the guide pointing to a historical trail sign, with the Gate-monument in the background.
