TOUR DETAILS
The walking tour starts at the Powder Tower in namesti Republiky, where you will hear the story of how the new Czechoslovakia Republic was formed in 1918. Discover the dark days of Nazi occupation and liberation by the Russian Red Army in 1945. In the Wenceslasz Square you will learn about the 1960s when the Soviet army crushed the nation’s blossoming dreams of democracy in 1968. To learn more about Prague Spring, you could read our blog post here. The tour takes you up to the Velvet Revolution in 1989, signalising the end of this grey period of Cold War history.
We include a 30-minutes break in an authentic canteen from the 70s, so you can enjoy typical Czech lunch and Kofola drink in this very traditional place popular by locals. For less than 5 EUR you can enjoy 3-course menu.
Highlight of the tour is definitely a visit to the nuclear shelter built by the communist party in 1953. The bunker operates as an interactive museum. Book your tour now!
