This walking tour in Prague covers the history of communist-era Czechoslovakia, tracing events on a clear timeline from the 1948 coup through the Velvet Revolution. The basic option lasts about 2 hours and focuses on key locations linked to life under communism, including Republic Square, Old Town Square, and Wenceslas Square. You will hear detailed stories about political events, everyday life, and the impact of Soviet influence. The extended 4-hour option adds a 30-minute break at a 1970s-style working-class canteen where you can buy lunch or Kofola if you wish. The tour concludes with a visit to a Cold War nuclear bunker near the upper part of Wenceslas Square. Admission to the Cold War Museum in the bunker is included. Groups are limited to 10 people for a more personal experience, and a local guide leads the tour throughout. The tour includes all admission fees and the guide’s commentary but excludes food, drinks, and gratuities. It is not recommended for those with claustrophobia. The guide can be identified by a blue umbrella.
