Join us for a moving and informative day trip to Terezín, one of the most historically significant places in the Czech Republic. We’ll pick you up from your hotel or other accommodation in Prague, and the journey will take about an hour, depending on traffic. Along the way, you’ll pass through some charming residential areas of Prague and traditional Czech villages.
For your comfort, we provide luxury Mercedes vehicles with a private driver.
We believe in making your experience as smooth and comfortable as possible, so we don’t combine the guide’s role with driving.
This allows our guide to focus fully on you and ensure that you get the most out of your visit, without any distractions.
Terezín was originally built as a military fortress by Emperor Joseph II and named after his mother, Maria Theresa. The main purpose of its construction was to defend against Prussian invasions. Over time, it became a garrison town and later a prison under the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The town is divided into two parts: the Small Fortress and the Large Fortress.
We’ll start by visiting the Ghetto Museum in the Large Fortress, where you’ll learn about both Terezín’s history and the events of World War II. Afterward, we’ll take a stroll through the town, where you’ll see important landmarks like the former columbarium and the remnants of the railway tracks used to transport Jewish prisoners to Terezín. One of the most memorable sites is the partially preserved prayer room from the ghetto era.
Next, we’ll head to the Small Fortress, which was used as a Gestapo prison during the war. We’ll walk through the entire complex, visit the guards’ office, and explore both the mass cells and the solitary confinement areas. You’ll also get to see the impressive fortifications of the fortress, including a tunnel that runs through its walls.
The visit to Terezín lasts about 3 hours, after which we’ll drive you back to Prague, allowing you to reflect on the experience in comfort.
