If you visit Bavaria and have any appreciation for history, you must spend time here. Entering through the original gatehouse sets the tone of the experience. The ovens and the area where people were executed by firing squad tell the story, as do the reconstrcuted fence and "guest houses." The excellent "photo and story board" style of museum in the...

An awful place to visit but very much a part of history. A must see if in Munich. Abt 30 minutes by train and then a short bus trip. The bus picks you up right out side the train exit. Very easy to get to. I highly recommend the 2.5 hour guided tour. You really get some good information and... More

We were fortunate to be living nearby with friends and took the opportunity to visit Dachau. You may have seen the movies..you may think you have some sense of an idea how big these concentration camps were..but you truly do not until you actually step into Dachau concentration camp and get that massive shock and truly realize how big the...

We went on a guided tour and although the guide was informative felt it was hurried. It would be so easy to do just a train from the central station then a short bus ride and then go round at your leisure. The day we went there were lots of school children and other groups so it was difficult to... More

My daughter and I visited last week. While she is only 11 years old, Dachau had quite an impression on her. I would not take anyone younger, as the film is graphic, but extremely well done. You are able to walk thru barracks, crematorium, main building, showers and memorials. It is a very moving place, and I believe, somewhere everyone... More

WWII and the way it shaped the western world has only been read about and watched in movies by people like us, who live on the other side of the world. A trip to Dachau added a whole new dimension to that knowledge and world view. The trip was conducted by Radius tours and Bike rentals at Munich. Our guide... More

We took a guided tour booked at the train station near our central hotel. The booking includes a train + bus ride and our guide did a thorough job of relaying historical information surrounding the development of the camp as well as its function. A sobering experience well worth taking the time for.

I had never been to a concentration camp and wanted to see one. Had a chance to go to Dachau which is one of the very first ones that opened. When I got there, I was only planning to stay for about an hour or so. I asked for a tour and they said, "it will start in 1 hour... More

While it is sad to see and hear about. It is definitely necessary to visit to truly understand the extent of the horrors committed against the people detained at camps such like these. We used the walking tour and the guide was very knowledgeable and informative.
