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.
