CoupleVerified bookingDec 20254/5Recommended tour, very knowledgeable and competent guide, mandatory place to visit if you are passing through Berlin. The only negative note was the organization of the tour that in fact did not provide a lunch slot (starting at 10 am and ending at 4 pm without having had a chance and time to have lunch is not the best).
Step into one of the most significant historical sites of the Nazi regime with a powerful and informative guided visit to the Sachsenhausen Memorial and Museum.
Getting started
Meet your expert historian guide in central Berlin and take a short train ride to Oranienburg. From the station, it's a 20-minute walk to the camp's entrance—an important part of understanding the prisoners’ arrival route.
What to expect
Sachsenhausen was established in 1936 as a model concentration camp and became the blueprint for many that followed. It imprisoned over 200,000 people—including political opponents, Jews, LGBTQ+ individuals, and others targeted by the Nazi regime.
