getting to terezin

hi again,

could anyone tell me what is the easiest and cheapest way to get to terezin and does anyone know can you join a tour there?

i have looked up some of the tours going from prague and they are very pricey(up to 45 euro a head)

also they seem to run only on certain days.

the dates i am there are saturday the 21st of feb to the 25.

i can only get there on the sunday or tuesday as i am going to dresden on monday.

hopefully gcek or penny can help as they have before.

Hi Philptono

We went to Terezin a couple of years ago by ourselves (on the bus) and just did our own tour -you can get a small guide booklet at the enterence. There were a few guided tours there, but they seemed to be private tours rather than tours provided by Terezin itself so I am not sure if you can arrive indepedently and join a tour there?

If you take the bus, it will stop just across the road from the camp. After touring the camp, take a walk into Terezin town itself (less than 10 minutes) where there is a musuem about the camp / war which is worth visiting, you can then get the bus back to Prague from outside the museum.

I wouldnt bother paying 45 euro for the private tour - the bus is very easy and you can then spend as much time in the camp as you want.

Hello philpotno - I would go with the above recommendation. You can easily do the trip yourself and save a lot of money. You will get (although maybe will have to buy) a Terezin brochure at the entrance to the Small Fortress. There are always some tours with guides, and you can always stop and listen and just do it at your own pace.

Terezin is a small town, everything within a walking distance. It%26#39;s a trip worth doing.

All the best Penny

thanks all,

i will go on my own steam and have worked it out it should cost less than 20 euro.

i rather do my own thing anyhow and take my time in what i see.

just one more thing i have been to the bus station before in prague but i cant rember which station i took to get there,.

i think the red line goes from the middle of wensequales square or i can go down near the river to connect?

bit stuck on this one

The bus stops are as mentioned above by tur domaci, Either Florenc or Nadrazi Holesovice.
