Duration: 2h 25mins
Live guide: English
Discover the background and stories from the communist era and experience how life was in Czechoslovakia in the Cold War period.
On this tour, you'll hear about how communism sparked paranoia, spying, violence, and fear. Learn stories of terror, propaganda, political prisoners, and executions.
Learn the history of communism in the region, from its terrifying beginnings, through the Prague Spring and Russia's deadly response in 1968, and eventually to the Velvet Revolution and the end of communism which prompted a new future in 1989.
See sights such as the former secret police headquarters, the Velvet Revolution memorial, the former worker's district complete with its typical socialist, 1970s-style concrete architecture, and a unique Cold War relic - a giant hidden nuclear bunker.
You'll visit to the Nuclear Bunker Museum, which includes Cold War exhibitions and a gasmask workshop, and receive a copy of the nuclear war survival guide.
It's dark, it's shocking, but it's more than you'd learn from a history book.
