Dachau Concentration Camp is the highlight of the stay in Munich, I would say. The place records the life of the prisoners here from 1933 to 1945 and offers visitors a glimpse of how difficult, if not impossible, it could be to live as a decent human being under the regime of Nazis.
A quick overview of the memorial site. It is divided into 4 parts: a museum, barracks, 2 crematoriums and memorials.
There is no entrance fee. Audio guide is available at the price of 3.5 euros (and 2.5 euros) as of 2017. My personal opinion would be that an audio guide is not necessary, for sufficient information is provided in the museum (and you probably have a slight idea of how atrocious everything was back then). If not, I strongly recommend you to get a copy of Anne Frank's Diary or The Book Thief. They are interesting and give you an account of what was happening. The former one is a diary written by a girl called Anne Frank. She really existed once.
We spent 2 hours there, having given up the audio guide and skipped some of the exhibits. So it's a good half-day event. :)
Transport is easy as well. Take S2 which goes to Petershausen and get off at Dachau. Right after you come out of the station, a bus stop is on your left. It is numbered 726 and goes to the memorial site. Just take note that the transport is quite infrequent here. By the way, if you purchase a Munich XXL group day ticket (priced at 15.9 euros), it covers the bus rides too!
If I understand correctly, Munich XXL is a type of ticket that goes as far as Dachau; day ticket is easy: it offers you unlimited rides for a day; group ticket means it's for up to a group of 5. Try to use the automatic machine because doing it in the counter would cost you 2 euros as a service charge!
Guess this is it. Enjoy!
