WWII in Prague Tour - Monday Edition

Overview

This exclusive Monday edition when the crypt is closed, explores Prague under Nazi occupation and the story of Operation Anthropoid. Beginning at the iconic Powder Tower, this Monday edition follows the dramatic story of Czechoslovakia’s occupation in 1939 and the rise of the resistance movement that led to the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich. Walk through the historic center as your expert guide explains how repression, fear, and underground networks shaped daily life in Prague during World War II.

During the tour, selected original artefacts from our private WWII collection are presented to provide deeper historical context.
