Overview

Embark on a powerful and moving day trip from Vienna to the Mauthausen Concentration Camp Memorial, one of the most important World War II sites in Europe. This former camp, located near Linz, operated from 1938 to 1945 and was one of the largest labor camp complexes in Nazi-controlled Europe. Today it stands as a place of remembrance, education, and reflection.

Your tour begins with a comfortable drive from Vienna in a small group or private vehicle. Upon arrival, you will be guided through the preserved and reconstructed grounds of the memorial. Explore the original prisoner barracks, the granite quarry, the “Stairs of Death,” the museum exhibitions, and the memorial monuments that honor the victims. Learn about the harrowing experiences of those imprisoned here, the camp’s history, and its liberation in 1945.

This is not just a sightseeing trip but an opportunity to confront history firsthand.

It's worth a lot

The experience in Hallstätt is amazing, very worthwhile but the road in the van was a bit awkward as the spaces are small

An amazing place!

We had to leave for Hallstat from Vienna, the bus left on time. Upon entering the mic we were given a bag with water and snacks. The very attentive guide explained the different points of interest along the way. The incredibly beautiful place. All barbaric on the return, super punctual also on the return.

Vienna with Richard

We had a wonderful day trip with Richard to Hallstatt and Salzburg. Richard served as the guide apart from driving us around the towns. He also drove us from Vienna to Venice and made sure that we safely reach our hotel with the ferry. I will strongly recommend services of Richard while in Vienna.
