World War II Tours & Activities in Munich

Visit the Dachau Memorial or take a day trip to Nuremberg from Munich, with guides who cover the city's Third Reich history in detail

Dachau opened in 1933 about 16 km (10 miles) northwest of Munich as the first Nazi concentration camp, and it now operates as a memorial and museum. These tours reach it by train in about an hour, some pairing the visit with a Munich Third Reich walking tour that covers the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch and the city's role in the Nazi Party's rise. For a longer day out, an express train reaches Nuremberg, site of the Nazi Party rallies and the postwar trials that followed. Tours run 2.5 to 8.5 hours.
