Highlights
Dive deep into Prague’s turbulent past on this gripping WWII tour. We uncover the roots of Czech democracy and the stories of those who sacrificed everything for freedom. You’ll hear about a Czechoslovak hero—a lawyer and politician dedicated to equality, women’s rights, and anti-fascism—who faced Nazi persecution and was later executed by the Communist regime. Please explore the site of the world’s largest statue of Joseph Stalin and learn the tragic tale behind its construction and destruction. Finally, journey to 1942 Prague, where you’ll discover the daring assassination of a high-ranking SS officer, orchestrator of the Holocaust, and the heroic airmen who carried out this deadly mission. Visit the catacombs where a gun battle with the SS took place, with bullet holes still visible on the walls, bringing history to life before your eyes.

About Prague
Prague's skyline of spires rises over the Vltava, with a hilltop castle, statue-lined bridge and a medieval old town that survived largely intact.
Prague Castle, one of the largest castle complexes anywhere, crowns the hill of Hradčany, with St Vitus Cathedral at its centre and the tiny houses of Golden Lane tucked behind. Below, the Lesser Town's Baroque palaces and terraced gardens lead down to the Charles Bridge, lined with statues of saints and busy from dawn.
Top-ranked sights in Prague: Charles Bridge (Karluv Most), Prague Castle (Pražský Hrad), Prague Old Town Square (Staromestské Námestí).
