Dachau concentration camp memorial afternoon tour from munich

Dachau was the most infamous of WWII concentration camps and represents a time in modern history that should never be forgotten. Your afternoon tour to Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial will be both moving and disturbing, and is not recommended for children.

Driving through the village of Dachau, you will reach the site of the former concentration camp. Built in 1933, Dachau was the first Nazi concentration camp and it is believed to have "processed" over 200,000 prisoners of World War II.

The main hall houses photographs and models of the camps, and gives you an insight into the horrendous acts against humanity that were often performed at the camp. In the grounds surrounding the main hall, you will find the crematorium, reconstructed bunkers and a disguised gas chamber.

You will have plenty of time to visit the memorial site, the museum and view the documentary film shown in the main hall at around 3:30pm. There is no guided tour on site, however your guide will give you information and answer any questions on the way to and from Dachau.
