Full description
Join your guide at the Old Town Bridge Tower, right in the heart of Prague's Old Town, and embark on a captivating journey through history. Begin by taking in the panoramic view of Prague Castle, the majestic residence of Czech rulers and presidents, and discover that nearby once stood the largest statue of Joseph Stalin in the world! Step by step, your guide will lead you through significant events that shaped the Czech nation.
Learn about the path that led the Czechs from Austrian monarchy to an independent Czechoslovak democratic state, renowned for its strong economy and as the last functioning democracy in Eastern and Central Europe after 1933. Uncover the hardships endured during the Nazi "Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia" in World War II and the remarkable Operation Anthropoid, the successful assassination of a senior Nazi leader. Gain insight into the methods and strategies of the communist regime, and the lasting impact of the USSR as it transformed the once democratic state into a harsh dictatorship, where human life held little value.
Imagine the elation of the Prague Spring, followed by the invasion of Soviet tanks in 1968, firing upon the National Museum building on Wenceslas Square. On this very square, we honor the memory of young students who self-immolated in 1969, rallying the nation against a common enemy. As you traverse the streets, witness the echoes of history from the 70s and 80s. Your guide will unveil the arduous journey that culminated in the Velvet Revolution of 1989, marking the ultimate triumph of democracy after more than 40 years of communism. Hear captivating stories about Václav Havel, courageous students, brutal police forces, and the clashes at Narodní třída.
No tour would be complete without lighthearted and obscure tales from the era of newfound freedom. Immerse yourself in Prague's compelling past, filled with resilience, courage, and the eventual triumph of democracy.
