Tour description

IMPORTANT: Professional, Native English-speaking guides run this Free Tour. Accessible by stroller or wheelchair and, of course, the youngest (and furriest) members of the family are welcome too ✌

 Explore Prague's New Town - a beautiful UNESCO World Heritage district steeped in history.

From the Nazi invasion to the Communist takeover, the Czech Republic underwent a grueling 20th Century. Prague's beautiful New Town was in the eye of the storm.

 During this tour, you will visit the site of the Velvet Revolution and see the bullet holes left over from Operation Anthropoid. But you will also see works of art and walk through streets of architectural magnitude.

This one is for history buffs and architecture lovers alike. We cover:

  • The First World War
  • Creation of Czechoslovakia
  • Munich Agreement
  • Second World War in Prague
  • AnthropoidOperation
  • The Crypt of St. Cyril and Methodius

I did 3 tours with Verneus, and this one was the best. Lots of complicated recent history and information clearly explained by Paul. Highly recommended

Don't miss it. It was a perfect introduction to the history of the city and its link with 20th. centry history in general. As a history teacher for over 40 years, I've come to recognize those who know their stuff and reach the 'right' conclusions.
