This walking tour in Prague lasts about two hours and 20 minutes and focuses on the history of communism and the Cold War era. It starts in the city center and visits several important locations connected to Prague's communist past. The first stop is the former secret police building, where the guide explains the story of former president Vaclav Havel. The tour then covers the Velvet Revolution of 1989, the Soviet invasion of 1968, and recent political history of the Czech Republic. Participants walk through a district known for its 1970s socialist-style architecture and original buildings from the concrete era. Public transport is used to reach the Prague Nuclear Bunker Museum, located four floors underground. Visitors spend about one hour inside the bunker exploring exhibitions that include original army gear, photos, and Cold War items. Each participant receives a photo booklet and an authentic survival guide with nuclear safety instructions. The entire tour is led by an English-speaking live guide. The route involves walking and stairs, so it is not suitable for people with mobility issues, young children, or strollers. Photography is allowed, but video recording requires special permission. The tour prohibits disruptive behavior, alcohol or drug use, translations during the tour, costumed groups, smoking, and pets. Tour duration may vary slightly depending on group size.
