Dachau Concentration Camp Day Trip

Although visiting a concentration camp may not be considered 'pleasurable', its historic importance is significant. On this excursion, we'll remember some of the most tragic events of the 20th century, in the very same place they happened.

Dachau Concentration Camp

With Hitler's rise to power, a camp for political prisoners was established in Dachau, operating for 12 long years. The main installations were completed in March 1933, with the first prisoners arriving the next day. Over 200,000 prisoners passed through the camp, and over 40,000 were assassinated.

After meeting the guide on Dachauer Straße in the morning, we'll travel to the Dachau concentration camp, located 20 kilometres (12 miles) north of Munich. This journey involves taking a train and a bus, totaling around 40 minutes.

Once there, we'll pass through the same gate as the prisoners and visit the courtyard, the entrance hall, bathrooms, prison, barracks, gas chamber, cremation ovens, and various commemorative monuments.

After learning about the day-to-day life of the prisoners and gaining insight into this dark period of German history, we'll make the 40-minute journey back to Munich. The total time for the tour will be between 4 and 5 hours.

Important to note

Children under 14 years old are not permitted to visit the camp with the tour.
