Dachau is an independent town with a historic centre, palace gardens and its own art destinations. Plan these places within Dachau itself, treating Munich as an additional outing. The history of National Socialism and the memorial site call for separate, respectful preparation. A day in town can focus on the old centre, gardens and picture gallery.

The PLAZA INN is on Newtonstraße in Dachau’s business district. The location can suit local work appointments. From here, plan your routes to the old town, the Hofgarten and any outing to Munich.
Historic houses, the town hall and St Jakob form a distinct setting. A walk gives initial orientation; allow time for local interpretation rather than limiting your visit to photographs.
The Hofgarten on the palace hill combines garden spaces with a broad outlook. Choose it as a separate walk and check access and opening arrangements.
The picture gallery adds an art visit to your stay. Use the current programme to decide whether it should be the day’s main focus or an addition to your town walk.
