Dachau Concentration Camp Day Trip

Although visiting a concentration camp may not be considered 'pleasurable', its historic importance is undeniable. 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 years. The main installations were completed in March 1933, with the first prisoners arriving shortly after. Over 200,000 prisoners passed through the camp, where over 40,000 were killed.

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

Upon arrival, we'll pass through the same gate the prisoners once did, visiting the courtyard, entrance hall, bathrooms, prison, barracks, gas chamber, cremation ovens, and various commemorative monuments.

After learning about the daily life of the prisoners and gaining insights into a dark period of German history, we'll return to Munich, with the total duration of the tour being between 4 and 5 hours.

Important to note

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