Prague's Cold War story, finishing four floors below the city
This walk follows life in communist Czechoslovakia through city-centre sites, then travels to a genuine Cold War nuclear bunker, where the last hour makes the period tangible.
Stops include former StB secret-police cells, the Velvet Revolution Memorial, Národní třída and Wenceslas Square, then public transport to the bunker at Parukářka. A live English-speaking guide connects it all.
