Step by Step

Enjoy a walk through the most historical Prague and learn about some of the most important events that have marked its history, such as the Prague Spring or the Velvet Revolution. With a group of no more than 15 people, you will have the opportunity to visit places such as the Old Town Square, Vaclavske Square or Narodni Street and see historical photos of events, characters and buildings that in many cases no longer exist.

You can learn about historical landmarks of the country, such as the declaration of Czechoslovakia's independence after World War I or why Hitler was interested in conquering this state before the outbreak of World War II.

Thanks to a local guide, you will also learn about the living conditions of the Czechs in the post-war period and some of the most important events in the country, which was led by the communist party at the time.

You will learn about the horrors to which the population was subjected during the 1950s, with manipulated justice, repressive police, labour camps and other hardships. You will also see the site where the largest monument to Josef Stalin, the former dictator of the USSR, was once erected.

Halfway through the tour, you will take a break of about half an hour to have lunch in an authentic Czech canteen from the 1970s and try some of their traditional dishes and drinks, such as Kofola.

Finally, the activity will end with a visit of about one hour to a nuclear shelter located at Vaclavske Square.
