You roll out of Prague onto flat farmland and, an hour later, the angular ramparts of an 18th‑century fortress resolve from the mist — Terezín’s brickworks and bastions rise like a practical geometry, not a postcard. The tour’s vintage replica car drops you at the gate; for the next two hours you move through courtyards and narrow alleys where silence takes on weight.
