History of Communism and the Nuclear Bunker

Step into the fascinating history of communism in Czechoslovakia and see how the Cold War shaped everyday life. Hear stories of famous spies and state propaganda and learn about the massive statue of Stalin that once stood over Prague but has long since been removed. Pass by the former communist secret police headquarters and see memorials that highlight the history of the communist era.

From there, travel by public transport (ticket included) with your local guide to reach a genuine 1950s nuclear bunker, hidden four floors beneath the city and built to shelter 5,000 people behind a massive 4-ton door. Explore its dark corridors and visit the Cold War Museum inside, featuring exhibits on nuclear war preparations, military equipment, and civil defense gear.

This tour offers a rare chance to experience Prague's Cold War history up close, providing insight into how this era affected ordinary citizens. It's a memorable way to spend your time ashore and gain a deeper understanding of the city beyond its famous castles and squares.
