Delve into the somber history of World War II on a guided tour from Prague to the Terezin concentration camp.

As you travel from Prague on a comfortable, air-conditioned bus, your guide will set the tone for the day, sharing the significant impact of WWII and Nazi occupation on the country. Upon arrival at Terezin, visit the museum housed within the Large Fortress, a former all-boys school, where the true horrors of the war come to light. Once a holding camp for Jews from all over Europe, Terezin was deceitfully presented as a model camp during the infamous Red Cross visit in 1944, a manipulative tactic used by the Nazis for propaganda purposes.

Behold the cell of Gavrilo Princip, the assassin of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, and learn about the chilling firing squads orchestrated by the Gestapo.
