I travelled to Dachau on an educational tour with Explorica in July. Our visit to Dachau was a very eye opening and educational experience. Every person visiting Germany must make a trip to Dachau! Whether you are young or old I think its important everyone experiences a trip to this concentration camp. The site is very well laid out and provides extensive backgrond and history to the visitor. I would strongly suggest you watch the 15 minute movie that they show every hour at Dachau. This attraction isnt anything like you can see in most countries and is a must visit!

This is an absolute must see if you are visiting Munich. It's very easy to get to and a very sobering experience as others have indicated. Do not miss this on your tour to Munich!

Definatly a required part of any trip to the Munich area. Easy to access on S-bahn. English captions on photos and info points, and an excellent focussed tour guide. Do not miss this, it may change your life and open your eyes to the extent of the holocaust on the the enitre world....

“A Sobering Experience”

Dachau Concentration Camp

7/7 found this review helpful

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 compound is fairly large and you can easily spend much of the day there.

They supposedly had a 20-minute video showing, but they were renovating the theatre when I went there, so I was unable to watch it.

I would highly recommend taking the Radius tour there. My tour guide was extremely knowledgeable on the topic and made the tour a very educational experience. The tour lasts about 5 hours or so.

The exhibition has no place to purchase food or drink, so make sure you bring your own if you plan on staying a while.
