1. Roudnice Castle

This was an interesting experience. Communists "owned" the building for over 40 years and a military musical school was here until 2008 (long after the communism fell) so repairs started only recently. There are over 200 emtpy rooms, with a guided tour leading only into two of them, a chapel and into gothic remains of the castle. Yet, the atmosphere is amazing and it looks vere big and impressive inside. I can recommend a visit, as long as you don´t expect a big, opulent interior. You won´t find it here, but you will see (and feel) a history of a building that went through a lot. A bit of an advice - outer gate is locked, and opens only each hour for a guided tour. The reason is simple - due to some safety risks inside, visitors are not allowed to walk around outside the tour (only in the courtyard)

Klášter je přístupný z průvodcem, dozvěděla jsem se zde spoustu zajímavých věcí. Otevřeno je i v rámci akce Noc kostelů.
Nedávno se zde točil seriál Tři mušketýři.
Je vidět, že řádové sestry, které zde stále sídlí, se snaží a postupně je klášter opravován.
Součástí je veliká zahrada, ve které na jaře nádherně květe liliovník tulipánokvětý.
Kousek od kláštera se dá vykoupat v Ohří.

Guide gad very good English, very friendly and extremely informative. Our guide had worked at the camp for over 5 years and was clearly interested and very well informed. He was brought up and lived in the area knew his stuff and could answer all our questions about the camp, ghetto museum etc - he was not just remembering info from a script as do many guides do these days. I feel bad for not remembering his name so I've loaded his photo.
Recommend.
7. Theresienstadt Concentration Camp
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 327 reviews
Reviewed By Tommy T - Repentigny, Canada
Visiting the small fortress was shocking as you get to see in which conditions inmates were living. Everything is well preserved and many of the furniture inside the camp is authentic. In the small fortress, you can see prisoners' rooms, showers, cells, .. and it's hard to believe people were living like this. In the bigger fortress, you can see few museums and see buildings from outside, but Terezin is still a city inhabited by 2000 people, so it makes it kinda hard to feel the real misery of WWII. Also, there is a dinstinction between concentration camp and extermination camp. Terezin was a camp to make Jews work, and not killing them massively, so don't expect to see gas chambers or anything. Still, this is a very historical place that makes you realized how bad times were back then.

Part of the Terezin Memorial. The Ghetto Museum was opened in 1991 in the building of the former Terezin School. The Exhibitions have been arranged with the assistance of former prisoners of the Terezin Ghetto.
Reviewed By jbwhitehouse - Dallas, Texas
The museum is excellent. Be sure to see the movie. Focus on the children's names of those who were murdered to "feel" the loss of these innocent lives. Take time to view the well-done thorough displays and exhibits.

Over 35,000 Jewish people were cremated here. There is a small exhibit about death and burial in the ghetto in the crematorium. Four ovens were displayed inside. There was also a room with tables where gold was extracted from the teeth (with instrument displays) before the bodies were cremated. Free admission. Photos allowed. Could light a candle for a small fee, if desired.

Zajímavě koncipovaná úniková hra v rozlehlých prostorách sýpky terezínské pevnosti. Chcete-li se při plnění logických úkolů i trochu zapotit, pak jste na správném místě! Paní průvodkyni děkujeme za velmi sympatické chování a doporučujeme nesnídat Red Bull :D
