2.Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site Tour from Munich by Train

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 5,637 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $64

Travel from Munich to the Dachau Memorial Site by local train and bus with a guide such as Nick, Nicola, Jake, or Patricia. Spend about three hours at the former camp, seeing the gate, barracks, cells, guard houses, exhibition center, and memorials. Bring water and a snack, and note that children under 13 cannot join.

“The tour was good; we started near the Munich train station and took public transportation to Dachau. The guide gave good information, but we rushed through without time to stop and read most of the information available. If I had it to do over, I would have done a self guided tour so that I could linger. That’s the nature of a group tour; if you don’t mind a broad overview, this is the way to go.”
