Full description
Join your guide at the threshold of the Old Town Bridge Tower in the heart of Prague's Old Town, and prepare for a captivating journey through time. Start by enjoying a panoramic view of Prague Castle, the esteemed seat of Czech rulers and presidents. Discover that not far from the castle, there once stood the largest statue of Joseph Stalin in the world. As you embark on this tour, your guide will meticulously cover all the major historical events that shaped the Czech nation.
Learn about the path that led the Czech people from the grip of the Austrian monarchy to the establishment of an independent Czechoslovak democratic state. This nation boasted one of the strongest economies of its time and stood as the last functioning democracy in Eastern and Central Europe after 1933. Dive into the sufferings endured during World War II under the Nazi "Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia" and uncover the remarkable Operation Anthropoid, which successfully assassinated a senior Nazi leader during the war.
Peel back the layers to reveal the methods and strategies employed by the communist regime, as well as the enduring influence of the USSR. Witness how the once democratic state was transformed into a harsh dictatorship where human life was devalued. Imagine the euphoria of the Prague Spring, a period of liberalization, followed by the invasion of Soviet tanks in 1968, with shots fired at the National Museum building on Wenceslas Square. On this very square, pay homage to the memory of the young students who self-immolated in 1969, uniting the nation against a common enemy.
As history progressed into the 70s and 80s, witness its reflection in the streets you pass. Your guide will illuminate the tumultuous path that ultimately led to the Velvet Revolution of 1989—a resounding victory for democracy after more than 40 years of communism. Hear stories about the influential figure of Václav Havel, courageous students, brutal police forces, and the clashes at Narodní třída. And of course, no tour would be complete without the inclusion of some humorous and obscure anecdotes from the era of newfound freedom.
Prepare yourself for a truly immersive experience, delving into the long and challenging history that shaped the Czech Republic and led to the triumph of democracy.
