Munich: Dachau Concentration Camp


One of the Busabout optional excursions for Munich was a tour of Dachau Concentration Camp.

Dachau was opened in 1933 and was the first concentration camp to be opened in Germany.

The tour was definitely confronting; some parts were quite graphic, and overall heartbreaking.

If it is something you would be interested in I would encourage you to do the tour. It can be difficult to take in, but it is an important part of history to reflect upon.

We made our visit through Gordon’s Tours, costing us €17 each. It left from the centre of Munich, and lasted around 4-5 hours including travel.
