Unfortunately, the Cathedral was closed when we were there. Looking through the windows in the door and the outside was fascinating if you like buildings. There is a bit of mixture of styles from other places yet it comes together to present a magnificent 'center of attention". You will find a nice description and photo on the website www.litomerice.cz and under the heading of Episcopal Litomerice. Sunday services are held still.

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.

On Peace Square, this is one of the many beautiful buildings you will see. Do check out the website for the historical significance..www.litomerice.cz. The city of Litomerice is located alittle over an hour from Prague. Nice landscape - farmland. I only saw the Old Town Hall from the outside but I was intrigued.

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.

This house is in Gothic style and was built in the 16th century. It is a seat of the municipal office now. During summer the chalice tower is open for tourists and the views should be nice. Unfortunately it was closed when we were there and also under reconstruction.
