What To Expect

Start your half-day WWII Prague walking tour at 1:30 pm, when you meet up with a knowledgable local guide in front of a local bridge in Prague. Dive into the captivating history of the 1930s and World War II and hear how Hitler convinced Czechoslovak allies to betray them in Munich.

With the guide’s interesting and insightful information at hand, travel step-by-step through the most important events of World War II in Prague. Relive the assassination of ‘The Butcher of Prague’, Reinhard Heydrich, by Czech Resistance and visit the place where Czechs were hidden and where they fought their last battle, now used as a museum.

Continue wandering through the historic city and see the former Gestapo and SS headquarters, as well as the square Germans used to parade their troops. Visit the Old Town Square and hear stories of Czechs who defended Prague against German troops during the Prague uprising. Don’t miss the authentic photographs taking during and immediately after the uprising. After learning how the bombing of Prague and World War II in general affects local Czechoslovakians to this day, end the tour at the striking Čechúv bridge.
