4.From Munich: Dachau Memorial Site Half-Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 2,526 reviews · 5 hours · from $62Best value

Travel from Munich to Dachau by train and bus with an English-speaking guide authorized by the memorial site. Spend about three hours seeing the barracks, prison, crematorium area, museum, and documentary cinema. Guides such as Nick, Patricia, Jake, and Iain are praised for clear, careful presentation.

“The tour was amazing, and Jake (our guide) brought both a solemnity and a levity that was much needed. You start by meeting at Radius Tours, then you grab a train to the town of Dachau, and finally a local bus to the Memorial Site. All in all, it takes approximately 30 minutes to get there. You will visit locations such as the barracks, the prison, and of course the crematorium. it isn't an easy experience (emotionally speaking) but I think one we all need to have in order to fully understand a terrible part of our history.”
