On the way from the Skoda factory to Prague we can take you to other places of your interest be it the UNESCO town of Kutna Hora and its Bone Church or the Terezin Concentration Camp.
Kutna Hora is a medieval silver-mining city located one hour?s drive to the the east of Prague. During the Middle Ages, profits from the Kutná Hora silver mines brought fame to the lands of the Czech Crown, and Kutná Hora became the 2nd richest town in the Czech lands after Prague. The legacy of this glorious epoch can be seen in the fine Gothic and Italianate buildings that line the cobblestone streets.
During this Prague – Terezin Concentration Camp tour you will learn about World War II and its impacts on former Czechoslovakia. Terezin is the name of a former military fortress and garrison town. In the late 18th century the Habsburg Monarchy erected the fortress and named it after Empress Maria Theresa as a stronghold against the Prussians from the North. In 1941 the town of Terezin was changed by the Nazis into a Jewish ghetto-transit camp. Until the end of the War more than 150000 deportees passed through the camp, 35.000 of which died there.
