Learn from your expert guide about the history of the camp and the barbaric treatment handed out to the Soviet and Jewish prisoners. A place of memory, pilgrimage and education, your trip to the Dachau concentration camp memorial site will be a deeply moving and memorable experience.

Accompanied by an English-speaking guide, you will take a short train ride to Dachau train station located 18 kilometres north-west of Munich. From the train station, you will embark on a short bus journey to the Dachau Memorial.

On arrival, you will be guided on a tour of the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial in the little town of Dachau.
