Free Walking Tour Nazism & Communism

Prague's 20th-century history is not in the usual travel guides, yet it is the story that explains why this city is the way it is today: from the Nazi occupation to the Velvet Revolution of 1989, through 40 years of communist rule.

This Free Tour of the New Town takes you to the places where that history actually happened.

We walk along the banks of the Vltava to discover buildings and street art that tell the story of a city in constant transformation. You will visit the iconic Kafka Head, a symbol of Czech cultural complexity, and the Dancing House, an example of how Prague reinvented its architecture after the fall of communism.

The most powerful moment of the tour: the crypt of the Church of Saints Cyril and Methodius, where the heroes of Operation Anthropoid made their last stand during the Second World War. A place that does not appear on most tourist routes and that changes the way you see Prague.

This tour combines history, culture and architecture in a way you will not find in any written guide. It is the tour that transforms Prague from "just another pretty European city" into a place you truly understand.
