The former Dachau concentration camp is now a Memorial Site which is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. The Memorial site is closed on Christmas Day and Yom Kippur, but is open every other day of the year, except on Mondays. Admission to the Memorial Site is free. No advance reservations are necessary and there is no timed entry. Backpacks do not have to be checked at the door and there is no X-ray machine at the entrance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Memorial Site is located in Dachau Ost, a district on the eastern side of the town of Dachau, which is 18 kilometers (12 miles) north of Munich. There are direct flights from America, Great Britain, France and other countries to Munich. You can take a Taxi from the Munich airport to the former Dachau camp, but it is fairly expensive. Trains run from the Munich airport to the Hauptbahnhof (main train station) in Munich, and there is also a bus every twenty minutes from the airport to the Hauptbahnhof. From the Hauptbahnhof, you can take the S-Bahn train number S-2 going in the direction of Petershausen to Dachau. Trains run very frequently and the trip to Dachau takes about 20 minutes each way. There is a special office called EurAide at the main train station which has English speaking clerks who can help you buy your ticket and give you detailed instructions on how to get to Dachau.<\/p>\n\n

At the Dachau train station, take bus number 726 or 724, both of which stop at the entrance to the Memorial Site. (Use your train ticket for your bus fare.) Bus number 726 does not run on Sundays and Holidays. Taxis are available at the Dachau train station or you can walk about 3 kilometers (2 miles) to the camp.<\/p>\n\n

To drive to Dachau, take the Autobahn from the Munich airport and watch for the exit sign to Dachau. When you get to the town of Dachau, look for the numerous signs which point to KZ-Gedenkst\u00e4tte – the German name for the Memorial Site. It is located on the east side of the town of Dachau, near the corner of Sudetenlandstrasse and Alte R\u00f6merstrasse.<\/p>\n\n

Visitors coming from Munich will probably enter the town on Theodor-Heuss-Strasse. Continue driving north on this street, until you intersect Sudetenlandstrasse, then turn right onto Sudetenland, and drive east until it intersects Alte-R\u00f6merstrasse. Turn left onto Alte-R\u00f6mer and continue north a short distance until you reach the Memorial Site, which is on your left.<\/p>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
