Free Walking Tour Prague: WWII & Communism – ENGLISH

Service Description

Step beyond the medieval charm and dive into the dramatic history of modern Prague. Our free walking tour takes you through the New Town — a district just as old and rich in history as the Old Town, yet often overlooked. We begin at the Church of Saint Ludmila, one of the city’s most iconic landmarks, and make our way through Wenceslas Square and the National Museum, where you’ll learn about Saint Wenceslas and the spirit of Czech resistance. Along the way, you’ll also discover the bold public art of David Černý and unravel the gripping story behind Operation Anthropoid — the daring assassination of Nazi commander Reinhard Heydrich during WWII. The tour ends by the famous Dancing House, right next to Náplavka — one of Prague’s trendiest riverside spots to relax after the tour. This experience is 100% in English and led by a passionate local guide who brings the city’s recent history to life with depth and nuance. 🎁 Bonus: After the tour, you’ll receive exclusive extras to help you explore Prague like a local: → maps of public toilets, → curated food recommendations, → ATM locations, → and even our personal “Black List” — yes, those places we don’t recommend. All designed to make your stay easier, tastier, and more authentic. 💶 Price & Booking: There’s no fixed price. At the end of the tour, you’re welcome to tip your guide based on your experience (typically between €10 and €50). We accept CZK, euro bills (no coins), and card payments. 🔁 Note: To confirm your spot, there’s a small €1 technical fee — you can pay it online or at the end of the tour. Thanks for understanding!
