Additional Information

Embark on an exploration of Prague’s hidden corners, landmarks, and remembrances from its Communist era, acquiring knowledge about the city’s history during the 1900s – encompassing the events leading up to World War II, the period of Nazi rule, the city’s liberation by the Red Army, and the experience of living under Soviet governance behind the ‘Iron Curtain’ for more than four decades, until Communism collapsed in 1989.

On your private journey, you’ll gain insight into the questioning of ordinary proletarian citizens by the Secret Police, and the suppression of anyone deemed state enemies. Visit Prague’s most well-known Art Nouveau structure, the Municipal House, where in 1918 Czechoslovakia was declared an independent republic.

Venture to Wenceslas Square, responsible for hosting the city’s demonstrations and political disputes, and where the masses assembled to rejoice at the poignant termination of Communism during the Fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. Conclude your journey at the deeply moving Memorial on Petřín hill dedicated to those who suffered in the communist era.
