Description:

This captivating walk through the turbulent history of the Czech Republic presents you with fascinating insight to political battles, revolutions, and life under repressive political regimes. Learn how the Czech people won their freedom, and see Prague from a different perspective.

Even with the feared secret police gone, the intimidating cells of its torture prison reveal uncomfortable truths about the nation's time under communist rule. After a visit to these hidden chambers, continue with a walk along National Avenue, the central point for protests against Nazism and communism throughout the 20th century.

Walk to Wenceslas Square, a symbol of the famous Prague Spring movement that arose in 1968 to demand personal and economic freedom. See Republic Square, passing by the building that housed the local Gestapo headquarters during the years of Nazi occupation, before you reach an old Jewish cemetery and hear absorbing stories about the struggle for survival during the dark days of World War II.

Finish the tour at the former KGB headquarters, where you learn about the fate of what was once the world's largest statue of Stalin, taken down when the Velvet Revolution freed the country from Soviet control and returned it to the democratic world.
