Dachau is a 20 minute S-Bahn ride from Munich and a 10 minute Bus ride (though only costs 1 euro). The camp is free to enter and is definately worth a visit.. its a very impressive place, and you'll learn a great deal from there. Leave a Comment

I visited Dachau only once. It was very moving. I only recently found out that my Uncle, Marion Hill was in the group of Soldiers who liberated Dachau. He was stationed there for several months or so afterwards, guarding the SS soldiers, then he went to OCS. Leave a Comment

Take the S bahn to Dachau (a lovely little city) and (free if you have a day card) the bus to KZ gedenkstaette -the concentration camp.
It's a pleasant spot but you don't come for that. See the hut that has been rebuilt, visit the museum -and if you can stomach it, see the film.
Walk down to the crematorium and pass through beautiful woods; many of you will find it hard to avoid tears. Leave a Comment Address: DachauDirections: bus ride from the station

The POW camp at dacau near munich is interesting, its huge and quite shocking at what went on. its free to get in and gets busy but worth a look. allow at least 2 hrs.

This is a must for anyone who visits Munich. Not at all hard to get to via public tramsportation.
There are English tour guides who walk you through the concentration camp, and by the end of it, you cannot help but wonder how all this came to be.
Although sobering, this trip to Dachau was worth its every while. Leave a Comment Address: Dachau, near Munich

This is a sombre experience,
u have to go just to see how or try and understand what the suffering was for the people forced to go here
the museum is laid out very well- it is long ensure u bring some drinkor something to eat as there is no place near by to buy food unless u go to where the main station is dachau
u pay something minimum for the audio guide which is very comprehensive Leave a Comment Directions: Get the S2 Direction peters hausen and get out at dachau The bus is then is v nearby u can nearly follow the crowds walking to it ,]either it will have KZ Gedenkstatte or u ask Zum KZ Gedenstatte

This is something that absolutely cannot be missed. Every single person should visit one of the camps. Just the size alone stunned me, and Dachau was a smaller camp.
We all learn about the Holocaust, but there is no comparison between a classroom or textbook and the actual camp. To see a picture in a book of a slaughtered prisoner, and then to look up from that book to the actual spot where that photo was taken is chilling.
When I went, I didn't speak more than a sentence or two for hours on end, even after I left. This is a place that will change you forever. It stirs something inside you.
When walking into the camp, it's as if an enormous blanket of silence falls over the world. All you hear is a faint breeze, and your own feet crunching the rock under foot. The size, as I mentioned before, is incredible.
After walking around the courtyard and the barracks area, I was almost too exhausted to cross the small stream and head towards the crematorium and ash graves. When walking in, many people miss the old crematorium, but it's worth the stop. I stood there by myself for a few moments, then dropped to my knees in prayer. After, I went to Barrack X, the new crematorium. Then proceeded on to the graves. This area is impossible to describe.
Be sure to read everything you can see, as some atrocious act was likely committed right where you stand.
Everyone should visit a camp, Dachau, I'm told, is one of the most interesting as it is the first.
Don't ever forget Leave a Comment Address: Just outside of Dachau, GermanyDirections: Not sure how to get there. Most of the other reviews have information in this area that is right on the money.

Visit the Dachau concentration camp. It's a sobering, but very necissary trip and reminder of the past, so that we cannot repeat it.
It was a powerful dose of reality for those of us who only read about World War II in school textbooks and did not have to feel the effects of it. I did not live through fallout or have close family to really make it personal. It made the holocaust very real for me, and yes, it's not exactly the happiest place on earth, but I don't think our trip would have been complete without that stop. Leave a Comment Directions: It's a suburb of Munich and the S-Baun train(# S2) from the Hauptbahnhof(main train station) will get you there, then there is one bus(#722) to catch outside the train station.Other Contact: Check the Frommers Europe Guide
