Free WW2 & Communism Tour

On this tour, we’ll delve into Prague’s darkest decades, spanning from September 1938 to November 1989. You’ll hear about the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich during Operation Anthropoid and the heroic last stand of Czech paratroopers against 700 Nazi soldiers inside the Church of Saints Cyril and Methodius.

Through powerful stories of courage, resistance, and hope, you’ll learn about the Holocaust and the fate of Prague’s Jewish community. We’ll visit key sites like the Dancing House, where a bombing took place on Valentine’s Day, and the dormitory of the student whose sacrifice inspired the Velvet Revolution.

You’ll also uncover the pivotal moments of the Coup d’État of 1948, Prague Spring, the Soviet invasion of 1968, and learn why Jan Palach set himself on fire—and where the fall of communism and the Velvet Revolution began.
