It was interesting to hear about and see the camp. It was hard to hear and visualize the atrocities that happened there. It's still hard to grasp that humans were treated so badly. The more you know the less likely we are to repeat it. History should never be forgotten. Our guide was knowledgeable, informative and friendly. I would recommend this tour. The Ghetto museum was also interesting.

Take a half-day trip to Terezín, less than an hour from Prague, with round-trip transfers that bring you directly to the memorial site.

Walk through the complex with a guide who explains how each part of Terezín functioned during the war.

Enter the Large Fortress to see its parade grounds, barracks, and tunnels while learning about the camp’s administration and its transformation during the occupation.

Explore the Small Fortress, stepping into former cells and interrogation rooms that reveal the daily reality of the Gestapo prison.

Visit the Ghetto Museum, where exhibits, testimonies, and artifacts trace the experiences of the Jewish prisoners held in Terezín.

Choose your preferred guide language and spend time across all three sites, with a bonus ticket to the Kingdom of Railways included for a later visit in Prague.

Tour was fantastic. We booked english tour and there were 2 people that required German. The two german people got a private tour at small fortress but we got a great tour guide but was put in a group of about 40 people. Our tour guide seemed rushed all the time and every other word was ah. Not a good presenter.

A fantastic experience with a friendly and knowledgeable guide. I learned a lot on the way there—not only about Terezín but also about Prague as a city, which was really interesting. Definitely worth setting aside a day for when you’re in Prague!

Good driving, times reset

What to bring

Bring a valid ID card or your passport with you, as it will be needed for verification before the tour sets off.

Choose comfortable, closed-toe shoes to navigate through the outdoor areas, uneven grounds, and long interior corridors comfortably.

Dress in layers, since much of the experience takes place outside, and it is often cooler and windier than in Prague.

What’s not allowed

Avoid bringing large luggage or oversized bags; only small personal items are permitted.

Do not use flash photography, as it can damage sensitive exhibits and is strictly forbidden.

Refrain from speaking loudly or engaging in disruptive behavior, as the memorial is a solemn place intended for quiet reflection.

Accessibility

This tour is not suitable for wheelchair users because the barracks and underground sections feature uneven floors, steep steps, and tight passageways that can be difficult to navigate.

Additional information

The tour departs each day at 8:45am, so planning to arrive 10 to 15 minutes early will help ensure a smooth check-in process.

The drive from Prague to Terezín takes roughly one hour, though this may vary with traffic.

The Terezín Crematorium is closed on Sundays and cannot be visited on that day.

Your guide will share detailed historical information throughout the visit, and some parts of the tour may be emotionally intense due to the nature of the memorial.

Your voucher will be emailed to you shortly.

Display the voucher on your mobile phone with a valid photo ID at the starting point.

Please check your final voucher for the starting point details & specific instructions.
