What makes World War II History Tour of Prague's Old Town a unique experience ?
Meet your guide In front of the World of Franz Kafka, Nám. Franze Kafky 16/1, 110 00 Staré Město, Czechia
You will see the Maisel Synagogue and the Spanish Synagogue, where some valuable Jewish objects were stored with the intention to install in the Nazi “museum of the extinct race”.
Will start with a walk through Josefov, the Old Jewish Quarter. This area was of a particular interest to the Nazi regime, deserted in 1941 when the transportation of Czech Jews to the Theresienstadt concentration camp began.
Take a closer look at the facade of the Old Town Hall which suffered heavy damage during the Prague uprising in May 1945. Luckily, the iconic Astronomical Clock has survived.
Another point of interest will be the Petschek Palace, which is the former seat of the Gestapo headquarters.
On the corner of the building you will find a memorial plaque dedicated to the Czech resistance. Learn about their offensive efforts, interrogations and tortures from your Expert-Guide. The tour will end in Wenceslas Square, which was used by the Nazis for mass demonstrations.
Visit the National Memorial to the Heroes of the Heydrich Terror, which is located in the underground crypt of the Cathedral of Saints Cyril and Methodius. This the last hideout of the seven SOE-trained Czechoslovakian agents involved in the assassination of a high-ranking German SS and police official Reinhard Heydrich. Discover fascinating stories of the Czech Resistance!
