You arrive from Prague as the road narrows and the 18th-century bastions of Terezín appear, stone faces that have watched centuries pass. The air here feels deliberate — a town built for defense, later repurposed into a grim chapter of history. Walkways lead from the car park across parade grounds to gatehouses where your private guide will set the pace and context.
