Transportation.

HalesowenCollegeTravelandTourism — 2024-05-15 09:30:45 UTC

Above you can see the flights to Poland. These flights totalled to £36 think this is a reasonable price and the customers can book additional baggage if they need to. The reason as to why I have suggested to fly to Krakow is because there are lots of attractions nearby and this will reduce the amount of travelling they will have to do around the destination.

The Customer Brief.

Create a brochure advertising a long weekend in Poland visiting various dark tourism sites including Auschwitz (Oświęcim), Madjdanek (Lubin) and Warsaw as it holds effects of the second world war during Nazi occupation and the uprisings. Within your brochure you must make some recommendations for places tourists can eat, along with recommending centrally located hotels that has good links with public transport. Within your brochure you should also include the type of visitors this itinerary would appeal to and why, the best time to visit and you should also include a location map and directions for travellers by rail, road, or other forms of transport.

Accommodation Warsaw.

HalesowenCollegeTravelandTourism — 2024-05-15 09:30:45 UTC

I have booked this accommodation because it is 0.8 miles away from the centre which means they wont have to pay extra for transport. After looking at the reviews they are highly recommended and they are currently offering a deal which means it is good value for money. This accommodation costs £198 for 2 nights and 2 adults, including in the cost is free Wi-Fi which is good because they can have access to their socials and make contact home. They also offer fabulous breakfast which is an additional cost, but this would set them up for the day.

Directions from Hotel to Warsaw Airport.

HalesowenCollegeTravelandTourism — 2024-05-15 09:30:45 UTC

Above, you will see directions to the airport from the hotel. I have put the directions in using public transport as this is often the quicker and most efficient way of travelling through Poland. However, you can find alternatives there are taxi's and car hire options available. To get from the Hotel in Warsaw to the Airport it will take 1 hour 24 minutes on public transport.

Day 1 - Thursday.

HalesowenCollegeTravelandTourism — 2024-05-15 09:30:45 UTC

They arrive in Krakow at 11:25am and be done in the airport by about 12:30pm, they will then get public transport to the hotel they are staying at which will take about 35 minutes. When they get to the accommodation they will need to check in maybe put bags away and have a little freshen up which will take us to about 2pm. By then they will want to get something to eat and I recommend them going to Sioux at around 3/3:30pm so it is a lunch/dinner, which is located in the heart of Krakow's main square, is a Western-themed restaurant that offers steaks and a wide variety of other dishes. The prices are reasonable, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking for a dining spot. It is 130m away from the hotel which is about a 1 minute walk. Once they are finished with their meal I recommend them walking around the town and market square for however long they like and familiarise themselves with the town. They can also stop off in the shops and get some food to keep in the apartment if they do get hungry. Then I recommend them to just chill out in the apartment and get an early night for the next day ahead.

Day 2 - Friday.

HalesowenCollegeTravelandTourism — 2024-05-15 09:30:45 UTC

On day two they can visit Auschwitz Concentration Camp, during this excursion you learn about the history of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camps during a guided tour with a certified historian and guide. Auschwitz-Birkenau was founded in 1940 by Nazi Germany and was the largest concentration camp operated by the Nazis. It became the final resting place for millions of people, mostly Jews and Poles, who were murdered in gas chambers. About 1.1 million Jews were killed and tortured in the gas chambers, these people were dragged out of their homes and bought to the concentration camp to be tortured years and then finally killed. The Jews had all their belongings taken off them and all had their heads shaved so they looked the same and wore the same clothes. The tickets retail for about £30.50 each and are half price at the moment, while you are there you get to explore the camps with a guided tour and you stop at significant moments to learn more about the history, you can be here for between 3 - 6 hours. Once they have finished their tour they can go back to their apartment and make some food for themselves to save some money.

Directions from Hotel - Auschwitz.

HalesowenCollegeTravelandTourism — 2024-05-15 09:30:45 UTC

As you can see above is it about a 1 Hour 50 minute journey from the Hotel to Auschwitz Birkenau, this route would contain catching trains and doing a bit of walking. The tour that they are offering does come with door to door pick up from your hotel. It all just depends on what you would want to do and what is easiest for yourself.

When they arrive at the train station they will get a taxi to their hotel (Bez Kantów Art Rooms) it will take around 8 minutes and will cost them £6. When they arrive at their accommodation they will need to check in, put their bags away and freshen up before heading into town (about a 5-10 minute walk) to catch a Hop-on Hop-off bus, this bus covers the whole city including the Old Town, National Museum, Bank Square and all the other cultural highlights. This bus is a great way to explore the town and make the most out of your stay, you can get off at any time to explore a bit more if you would like to and can get back on again.

Above you can see the flights I have booked from Warsaw Modlin Airport to Birmingham International. These flights totalled to £31 and I think that this is a very reasonable price and customers can book additional baggage if needed. Their flight doesn't take off until 6:15pm, so they still have almost a full day to enjoy the beautiful city.
