Tour Details

At the indicated time, we will meet at Albertinaplatz and depart Vienna for our day trip to the Mauthausen concentration camp.

During the journey, we will learn about one of the largest labor camps of the Third Reich, where approximately 200,000 people from across Europe were imprisoned between 1938 and 1945, with about half losing their lives. Mauthausen serves as a reminder of a dark chapter in Austria's history.

After a 2-hour drive, we will arrive in Upper Austria and enter Mauthausen, where you will receive an audio guide to explore the site's various rooms. This tour will cover both the historical context and what life was like in the Mauthausen concentration camp before its liberation in May 1945.

You will have approximately 3 hours and 40 minutes to explore facilities such as the training yard, barracks, kitchen, Wiener-Graben quarry, Death Stairs, SS quarters, and gas chamber.

You can also use this time to have lunch at the Memorial's bistro. Afterward, we will begin the return journey and conclude the excursion at the meeting point approximately eight and a half hours later.
