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

If you're in the Munich area, Dachau is a nearby destination (easy to get to via public transportation) that is worth visiting. You'll see the remains of this "model" concentration camp upon which all the other ones were built. From the "arbeit macht frei" ("work will set you free") on the gate, to the barracks, to the torture room, to... more

I have visted Dachua several times, taking my daughter the most recent visit. This is surprisingly localized camp. Dachau is a quick jaunt from Munich or even from Garmish (Which was our most recent starting point) This is a well organized museum. The information is well presented and in a manner that presents the progression of Nazi Germany. The grounds... more

One of the places I felt I was obligated to go to when I came to Germany was Dachau. This is a lesson of past attrocities and a warning for the future. I feel everyone should make this trip, as it is one you will never forget. The exhibition is free of charge and relatively easy to get to. The... more

My husband and I visited Dachau in early March 2006. We didn't do a tour as we wanted to take our time and experience the place at our own pace. We are extremely glad that we chose to do it this way after suffering thorough a terribly inadequate tour of Auschwitz a few weeks later. Dachau is easy to reach... more
