A sobering reminder of history. There is an immense amount of information and detail in the museum on sight that requires a lot of reading. We went during a bit of a heat wave. The memorial is mostly outside in open space, so make sure you use sunscreen and have water with you. We did the prisoner's walk from the train station to the camp, it is fairly well marked. It is very easy to get here by train from Munich.

Dachau is a reminder of what evil humans are capable of. This is a place of somber reverence for the victims of inhumanity done to them by people who were manipulated and indoctrinated to believe that various groups of people were less than human and worthy of extinction. Visits to the ovens and showers will give a reality to the stories and films such as Schindler's list. I will never forget standing in the shower - thinking about what it must have been like for those who experienced their last moments (Although there are showers at Dachau - they were never used like the ones in Auschwitz) Germany is a beautiful country and Germans are an amazing people. But any culture (even Americans) is capable of great harm if indoctrinated to be. Be sure to visit Dachau when visiting Munich - it is a short and easy train ride from Munich

Excellent museum teaching all aspects of the camp and times of darkness. There is a $3 for car parking. Entrance is free and there are guiding tours in English and audio guides for a small fee. We recommend it.

A visit to this former Nazi concentration camp should be a must for visitors to Munich. It can easily be reached from the city by public transport. There are also different agencies that offer tours there. A walk around this cc (although tens of thousands of inoocent people lost their lives there, Dachau was NOT an extermination camp per se) is most impressive and an experience that one will not forget quickly. It should be a strong reminder of what humans can do to other human beings.

This was a very sad and depressing visit, but a must for everyone to do. It is sad to see what humans can do to one another! We took the S2 train from Munich and than the bus 726 at the station to the concentration camp, much cheaper than a taxi and very easy to maneuver. You did not need the audio ear pieces, the boards at each stop is in English and German. It was very cold when we visited and it started to rain, so we only spent 2hours, but could easily spent 3 to 4hours in good weather.

This is never going to be a fun day out, but it is a important thing to do, and absolutely worth the time and emotional impact. For mature teenagers, and adults, a very good trip to make. I particularly want to call out our tour guide (American English) Rich who I felt did a wonderful job of giving a solemn factual but also interesting, informative and candid explanation of Dachau over several hours. Sharing about Dachau for its own horrific history and experience, and as the start of the whole terrifying concentration camp evolution across Nazi Germany was thoughtfully, impactful and considerately done. Rich’s motivation for doing this is commendable. Our group was highly appreciative, and several of our group tour specifically took the time to thank him.

A must do trip, glad whe had a tour guide. Some off the photos in the museum was 'disturbing' but it is part of history and must be seen. Nick was well spoken and took good care of all of us in the slippery conditions.

As one of the main concentration camps in Germany, although there wasn’t much of a killing comparing to others (gas chamber were never use to kill, or not yet) it’s still a deep place, specially seeing the cemetery and old photos that bodies usually just pile up on the door i just stepped on. It’s not the most horrific camp but still worth a visit to soak yourself into the experience. The text guide are very complete to learn about the whole history of both Germany and the camp and is a great place worth visiting.

Mat was our guide on the visit. The tour started out on time, it included the transport and you don't have to worry about what bus or train to take. Very well explained, the place is really interesting and Mat helped us understand the background and what happend during the time the camp was functioning. I really recommend it

5* for how informative and tasteful the memorial is to the victims, but be in no doubt this is not a happy experience. If you visit the Dachau memorial, expect to read and hear harrowing accounts of how the Nazis treated innocent people from all walks of life, not just Jews. The memorial is free to visit, and offers an interesting perspective on WWII history in Bavaria. The memorial is around 30-40 minute walk from Dachau train station, but there is a regular bus service which you can take from the bus station to the memorial, which takes 5-10 minutes.
