About this experience
On this tour, you will visit Sachsenhausen, the first purpose-built concentration camp, located in Oranienburg. The experience includes a guided exploration of significant sites such as the punishment cells, infirmary, barracks, gas chamber, and crematoria, alongside stories of resilience from former prisoners. You will also see the Inspectorate of Concentration Camps, which managed the Nazi camp system across Europe. This tour is suitable for those interested in history and memorialization, but may not be suitable for younger audiences due to the sensitive nature of the content. It is a fully guided experience with a licensed guide, who will meet you in Berlin and assist you throughout the day, returning you to the city centre afterward. A €3 per person donation is included to support the Sachsenhausen Memorial.
