The route
The Lidice Memorial museum
Lidice is the mining village that the SS destroyed on 10 June 1942 in reprisal for the attack on Heydrich: the men were shot, the women and children deported and the houses razed. Today it is a memorial half an hour from Prague, reached by metro and bus. This plan follows the long route proposed by the memorial itself: the museum, the meadow of the vanished village, the monument to the children, the rose garden and the gallery of the new village.
The morning, step by step
9:00 · Metro and bus. Line A to Nádraží Veleslavín and bus 300 or 322 to the Lidice stop, five minutes from the museum.

10:45 · The memorial area. The meadow where Lidice stood, with the foundations of the church and the school and the mass grave of the men. Bring the audio guide on your phone.
11:30 · The monument to the children. The 82 bronze figures of the murdered children.
12:00 · The rose garden. The garden of peace and friendship, with rose bushes from many countries.
12:45 · Lunch at the gallery. The restaurant in the gallery building, with its own bakery; call beforehand.

Before you go
It is a hard visit, especially with teenagers: prepare them for what they will see, especially the monument to the children. If you want a guide, arrange it beforehand: in English it costs 800 CZK per group. Lidice is a few kilometres from Prague airport, so it fits the day of arrival or departure.
