Dachau Flights

I reached Dachau by S-bahn from Munich (S2 line direction Peter-Hausen).
Then at Dachau S-bahn station, you have to take a bus to the concentration camp (ticket on bus 1 Eur).
The travel from Marienplatz in Munich to Dachau concentration camp takes about 40 minutes.

Anyway, if you are not practice with munich transportation, you can partecipate to organized tours.

It is no problem to get to Dachau by S-Bahn (suburban train) - they opperate between Munich and Dachau quite often. It is also possible to get there by car - Autobahns 8, 92 and 99 pass Dachau.

Parking in town is no problem - huge parking lots for free are around the centre and several parking spaces are in the centre

Dachau is a 45 minute trip from downtwon Munich: Take S-2 (direction: Petershausen) to Dachau-Ost, to KZ-Gedenkstatte (the camp). The two-zone 9euros ticket covers the entire trip both ways; with a railpass, just pay for the bus 1 euro each way.
Drivers follow Dachauerstrasse from downtown Munich to Dachau-Ost. Then follow the KZ-Gedenstatte signs.

The best way to get there is to take the S-Bahn (S2) to Dachau station, and then follow the signs. Busses run regularly (724/ 726) between the station and the campsite.
Its a 10 min walk from there on to the main entrance.

During our 12 day excursion around Europe, we decided that our best bet was to take a car. Rather than figure out the train system, and to maximize our sightseeing, we felt the van would be the best bang for our buck.

It was truly awesome, because we did not have to plan at all, picked up and took off. Even when we could not find a place to stay, we were able to spread out and all go to sleep in it, since we got the 15 passenger van for only two people!

It is very easy to get to the KZ-Gedenkstätte Dachau with public transport.
The line S2 of the excellent suburban train network (S-Bahn) of München, direction Petershausen or Dachau, takes you from the München Hauptbahnhof (Central Station) to Dachau. There are trains every 20 minutes.
From Dachau rail station there are two buses that drive you to the KZ every 20 minutes. One of them (726, I think) stops right at the entrance of the camp. However, you may have to wait because there are so many students that the bus gets full in a couple of seconds.
The good thing is that, if you go to Dachau with the S-Bahn, the bus to the KZ is free!
