About this activity
Explore the famous Terezín Concentration Camp on a half-day guided tour that begins in the heart of Prague, in front of the Rudolfinum building.
During the bus ride, you can listen to an audio guide on your phone that introduces you to the history of the Czech lands, the history of the Jewish people in the country, and the history of the town of Terezín.
At the Small Fortress of Terezín, you will take part in a guided walk led by a local guide in the language of your choice. Explore the former concentration camp site and its barracks while learning how this once-garrison town was transformed into a camp.
Learn how Terezín changed dramatically when the Nazis renamed it Theresienstadt and sent the first Jewish transports there in November 1941.
Pay your respects at this historically significant site and explore with us the dark history that lies behind the gates of the Small Fortress of Terezín.
What to expect
Rudolfinum
Alsovo Nabrezi, 12, Prague, 11000, Czech Republic
Meet your guide in front of the main entrance stairs to Rudolfinum building, Alšovo nábř. 12, 110 00 Josefov. The guide will be holding a blue and white umbrella. From here you will take a minibus to Terezín, which will take approximately 1 hour.
Terezin Memorial
Principova alej 304, Terezin, 411 55, Czech Republic
The minibus will take you to Terezín. Terezin is located approximately ninety miles north of Prague and just south of Litomerice. The town was originally built in 1780 by Emperor Joseph II of Austria and named after his mother, Empress Maria Theresa.
Mala Pevnost (Small Fortress)
Mala Pevnost, Terezin, 41155, Czech Republic
Terezin consisted of the Big Fortress and the Small Fortress. The Big Fortress was surrounded by ramparts and contained barracks. However, Terezin had not been used as a fortress since 1888; Terezin had become a garrison town that remained virtually the same, almost entirely separated from the rest of the countryside. The Small Fortress was used as a prison for dangerous criminals. Terezin changed dramatically when the Nazis renamed it Theresienstadt and sent the first Jewish transports there in November 1941. The Nazis sent approximately 1300 Jewish men on two transports to Theresienstadt. These workers made up the Aufbaukommando, later known in the camp as AK1 and AK2. These men were sent to transform the garrison town into a camp for Jews. The largest and most serious problem these workgroups faced was metamorphosing a town that in 1940 held approximately 7,000 residents into a concentration camp which needed to hold about 35,000 to 60,000 people.
Rudolfinum
Alsovo Nabrezi, 12, Prague, 11000, Czech Republic
The minibus will take you back to Prague after you will explore Terezín.
