The most important thing is that during the visit you remember that you are in a place with a history very hard behind it. My advice is that, out of respect, avoid taking pictures as much as possible and maintain a respectful attitude towards the victims and the rest of the visitors. Both the Dachau camp and most of the remaining camps in Europe are a history lesson in themselves and are best enjoyed with a guide explaining the details of how they were built, what happened and how, at the end of the war, the prisoners were released and the remaining officers were tried.
If you choose to organize your own visit to Dachau I recommend documentation before visiting the camp and purchase the audio guide at the entrance for a price of about 3 euros. The entrance is free and to avoid crowds it is best to go during the week and early in the morning. Calculate that the visit to the whole complex can take about three hours. As for how to get there , the Dachau concentration camp from Munich if you do not have hired transportation, the best option is the suburban train.
The train is the S2 and departs from the central train station in Munich. Each way can cost about 6 euros, but you can buy a one-day tourist pass that will cost about 8 euros and you will amortize only with the round trip to Dachau.
After about 25 minutes, you will arrive at Dachau station and take bus direction Saubachsiedlung which will drop you directly at the camp gate. The Dachau concentration camp tour is not the only one you can do from Munich. A very popular excursion that I recommend you to include in your trip and whose character contrasts greatly with the harshness that can be the visit to the Dachau camp is the visit to the Neuschwanstein Castle. This castle is one of the most famous in Bavaria and is said to have inspired Disney to create the famous Sleeping Beauty castle.
In addition, the surrounding landscape is an ideal contrast to change of term and relax after remembering the horrors of the Dachau camps. Here is a link to my article on How to Visit Neuschwanstein Castle. The nearest concentration camp to Munich comes in the form of Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site, lying 30 km 18 mi north of Munich. It takes roughly between minutes to drive from Munich to Dachau when accounting for traffic, however there is also a direct train that takes you to Dachau in 20 minutes.

You can just as easily explore the camp on your own, preferably after spending an hour or two in the Exhibition or museum, which tells the camp's grim history through displays, a movie, and other exhibits.
For more visitor information, see the Dachau Web links at the end of this article. The directions below are for public transportation via Munich's clean, quick, and convenient S-Bahn. If you'd rather fight city and suburban traffic in an automobile, see the Dachau Concentration Memorial Site's directions page and scroll down to "Arriving by car.
Start by purchasing a ticket to Dachau from one of the vending machines, and stamp your ticket in one of the blue machines near the S-Bahn entrance. This is very important --you can be fined if you enter the platforms or board a train without a ticket.
You can also get to the camp with a 1- or 3-day City Tour Card for the Gesamtnetz Munich regional network as opposed to the Inneraum city only. Take the escalator or stairway to the train platform.
An electronic sign will show the number of minutes until the next S2 Peterhausen train and where to stand on the platform. Board the S2 Peterhausen train for a ride of approximately 25 minutes to Dachau. If necessary, push a button to open the doors as you board or exit the train.
Cross the street to the bus stop. Wait for a bus near the sign that reads, " Concentration Camp Memorial Site. Take bus to the camp. Board at the front and show your S-Bahn ticket to the driver. As you leave the bus stop, you'll pass a small building where you can buy books, rent an audioguide, sign up for a guided tour, or use the WCs.
More toilets are in the Exhibition building within the camp. Near the KZ entrance, you'll see a bronze plaque that commemorates the liberation of the camp by the U.
Army's 20th Armored Division on April 29, The only entrance to the concentration camp is through the Jourhaus , or guardhouse, where you'll see the motto "Arbeit macht frei" on the wrought-iron gate beneath the archway, as shown in the photo at the beginning of this article. As you enter the camp through the Jourhaus, you'll notice the former maintenance building right that housed the camp's kitchen, clothing department, workshops, and baths.
The roll-call area, where prisoners were counted each morning and evening, was in front of the maintenance building. Most of the camp's dilapidated buildings were torn down before , when the Concentration Camp Memorial Site was opened, but you can get an overview of what the World War II camp and its neighboring SS facilities looked like in this model from the Exhibition or museum.
The concentration camp is at the top of the photo, where you can see the two rows of barracks blocks to the left of the roll-call area. The foundations of the old barracks remain, and beyond them are three memorials: the Catholic Mortal Agony of Christ Chapel built in , the Carmelite Holy Blood Convent , the Jewish Memorial and the Protestant Church of Reconciliation A fourth memorial, the Russian Orthodox Chapel, was built outside the walls, near the crematorium, in The Exhibition , or museum, should be your first stop after you've entered the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site.
The numbered exhibits are distributed throughout the rooms of the former maintenance building, and they tell the camp's history from until it became a memorial site in It's easy to spend several hours browsing the displays, which provide an overview not only of the camp, but also of the economic and political events that brought the Nazis to power.
For example, here are some numbers that I copied from a display about German inflation from to The Exhibition has an auditorium where you can watch a documentary film, KZ Dachau, that includes newsreel footage of the camp's liberation.
