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 cover facts about one of the largest labor camps of the Third Reich. From 1938 to 1945, approximately 200,000 people from across Europe were imprisoned here, with about half losing their lives. Today, Mauthausen serves as a reminder of Austria's dark history.

After a two-hour drive, we will arrive in Upper Austria and enter Mauthausen, where an audio guide will be provided for exploring the various rooms. The tour will cover the historical context and details about life in the camp before its liberation in May 1945.

You will have approximately 3 hours and 40 minutes to explore at your own pace the training yard, barracks, kitchen, Wiener-Graben quarry, Death Stairs, SS quarters, and gas chamber. You may also use this time for lunch at the Memorial's bistro. Following this, we will begin the return journey, concluding the excursion at the meeting point approximately eight and a half hours later.
