My father was a prisoner at Dachau, my husband and I visited the site and it was very moving. I would dearly love to obtain a video of the complex. We took many photos which we lost due to a fault with our camera. If anyone can help out with a video or photos please email me on jackskin@bigpond.com we... more

My wife and I visited this historic site and museum in January. It is an easy trip from Munich on the S2 S-Bahn to the Dachau station where you can catch the well marked bus to the memorial site. There is no admission charge. The site is closed on Mondays and the tours in English are not offered daily in... more

This was one of the most emotional experiences for a Kiwi girl. It was eerie but is a must see. The tours are very informative and give us an insight into man's inhumanity. Lest we forget. more

While visiting Munich we made our way on a tour of Dachau Concentration camp. This was the most eye opening experience I've ever had but recommend anyone who can/wants to visit a place of this nature. The tour was $12 Euro which also included a playback device to allow you to listen to all the different stories throughout the tour.... more

Arrived in light fog and paid about €3 for parking. Short walk to the main gates where we hired a couple of Audio guides for less that €5. The fog made it very atmospheric & seeing the troop of young German soldiers visiting the site really sent chills running down my spine & set the scene. The audio guides are... more

When we arrived at Dachau trainstation there were a local bus going directly to the memorial site, some kilometers outside the city. When I saw the... more

After having visited Auschwitz and saw how the Poles approached the horror, I was somewhat sad to see how the Germans dealt with this topic. Grotty portacabin with weeds everywhere as we approached. Huts for toilets. First impressions are not good as to how serious they are at getting the message across. On entry you find that the SS quarters... more

While staying in Munich, I had always planned on seeing Dachau and I found getting there very easy (a relatively short trip on the S-Bahn from Marienplatz). I was travelling in a group, including one lady with a knee injury so there would always be mobility issues. We started walking from Dachau station to the KZ (really well sign-posted) but... more

A must-do excursion during your visit to Munich and/or the Bavarian Alps. It is very humbling to actually be standing in the middle of a real concentration camp. The memorials on the site are haunting, the museum very well done, and the Creamatorium will literally take your breath away. Every human being needs to make a visit there. Plan for... more
