Overview

Join our small-group journey into the recent past of Prague.

You'll unravel the story of Prague's journey from being the bustling capital of a post-WWI Republic, to being dismantled by Hitler. Learn about the only successful assassination of a high-ranking Nazi officer. Explore the attempts by Czechoslovaks to reform communism, only to be invaded by their supposed allies. Learn about the courageous sacrifice of a 20-year-old student who sparked a national awakening. Finally, witness the remarkable events of the most peaceful revolution and dissolution in modern history.

Throughout the tour, you'll visit the very sites and monuments where these pivotal moments unfolded, offering a firsthand glimpse into Prague's complex history.
