Pay tribute to the victims of the Holocaust with a guided tour of Terezín Concentration Camp from Prague. Gain deep historical insights, visit memorial sites, and learn about the camp’s tragic history.
Discover the chilling history of Terezin Concentration Camp on a half-day guided tour from Prague. This emotional and informative journey takes you to one of the most significant sites of World War II, where you’ll learn about the Nazi regime's atrocities and the devastating impact on the Jewish community. Starting from the heart of Prague, the tour begins at the Rudolfinum, where you’ll meet our assistant, recognizable by a blue and white umbrella.
Once you board the bus, you’ll be provided with an audio guide on your phone that introduces you to the complex history of the Czech lands, the long history of Jews in the Czech Republic, and the development of Terezin. The audio guide offers insightful background information, setting the stage for the events that unfolded in this small fortress town. Our English-speaking assistant will be available throughout the journey to assist you and ensure a smooth and informative experience.
Upon arrival at the Small Fortress of Terezin, a local guide will lead you on a walking tour of the site, providing in-depth knowledge of the concentration camp’s history. You’ll explore the barracks and the various parts of the fortress while learning how the former garrison town was transformed into a Nazi concentration camp. Hear the stories of the people who lived and suffered there, gaining a deeper understanding of the horrific conditions and the human toll of the camp.
The tour will focus on how Terezin was dramatically changed when the Nazis renamed it Theresienstadt and began sending Jewish transports there in November 1941. This "model" camp was used as a facade to deceive the international community about the conditions in Nazi concentration camps, while in reality, it was a place of cruelty, suffering, and death. Learn about the many prominent Jews, including artists, writers, and musicians, who were deported to Terezin, and the resistance efforts that took place under the harshest conditions.
After your guided tour of Terezin, you will be safely transported back to Prague in a comfortable minibus, reflecting on the powerful history you’ve just witnessed. This tour offers a profound opportunity to understand one of the darkest chapters in European history, allowing you to pay respects and learn about the resilience of those who endured unimaginable suffering.
Join us on this important and moving journey to Terezin and explore a place of deep historical significance. This tour provides a thorough, respectful, and educational experience of the concentration camp’s history, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of World War II and the Holocaust.

The tour itself was quite good, though I was disappointed by the late departure which made the experience feel hurried. The museum portion in particular seemed rushed we only had half an hour to explore, leaving me uncertain if we even saw all of Terezin's important sites. While informative, the time constraints prevented it from being a five star experience.
