Dachau Memorial Tour

The Dachau Concentration Camp was used by the Nazis as a model camp, and was the first concentration camp opened in Germany shortly after they achieved power. Now, visiting the memorial grounds leaves a powerful impression on this very dark chapter of Germany’s history.

This tour delves into not just the inner workings of the Dachau Concentration Camp in particular, but also the broader subject of how the Nazis achieved power, why the Nazis built these camps, and what is being done to memorialize the victims.

The tour leaves from the Munich central train station and takes public transportation out to the memorial grounds. Your authorized native English-speaking guide will be with you throughout, detailing the history, showing the various exhibits, and answering any questions you may have. This tour is operated by a trusted “Fat Tire Approved“ partner that we’ve known for many years provides the high level of service you expect with Fat Tire Tours.

Expand/Collapse Is this tour appropriate for children?

The content of the tour is understandably heavy. We have had many kids join the tour, and particularly those that have already studied the content in school find it very impactful and informative. The graphic displays and their content, however, will need to be judged for appropriateness by parents.

Please bring the food you desire before the tour leaves the Munich central station, as there are limited food options near the memorial grounds.
