Explore the history of Terezin town by visiting the most interesting places. Learn about the history of the unique military fortress from the 18th century, the Ghetto Museum, the Magdeburg Barracks, the loft, the synagogue, the Small Fortress, the Terezin Memorial, and the crematorium.

Start your tour at a “Retranchement 5” building where is the visitors center. Climb the walls of the Main Fortress and find hidden spots that most groups miss because they're off the beaten track.

Explore the Small Fortress, which was a prison for Nazi regime opponents from 1940 to 1945 under the Prague Gestapo. See the prison cells, showers, delousing room, hospital, execution cells, and a national cemetery nearby.

Visit the Terezin Memorial, the National Cemetery in front of the Small Fortress. There are about 10 thousand people buried here. In particular, there are victims from the Small Fortress, the Terezín ghetto, and the concentration camp in nearby Litoměřice.

Visit the Ghetto Museum, located in the former school building in the very center of Terezin. In the ground floor there is a Memorial hall of children. The first floor exhibition covers the inception of the persecution of Protectorate Jews, their life in the ghetto, and extermination camps.

Visit a small prayer room (synagogue), which served as a place of worship for Jewish prisoners during the ghetto. See the loft where people lived.

Continue to the Terezín Memorial - Crematorium and Jewish Cemetery. The crematorium was built by ghetto prisoners in 1942. About 30,000 corpses were cremated here. Everything is in original condition.

Finally, visit the Magdeburg Barracks, which were used as a seat of Jewish self-government during the WWII. See a replica of a prison dormitory from the ghetto period. The exhibitions on the cultural activities of involuntary inhabitants of the ghetto continue the displays at the Ghetto Museum.

It may happen that we visit the objects in a different order. We will be using a minivan to get around, but expect to walk at least 2 miles.

The tour starts in the morning in Prague, the journey to Terezín takes a little over an hour, we spend about 3.5-4 hours in Terezín and the return journey to Prague takes an hour again. In total the trip takes about 6 hours, but can be adjusted to your wishes if possible.
