The twentieth century left Prague with changes of government, occupations and revolutions that still shape the memory of its streets. These routes approach separate episodes without collapsing them into a single date. Places associated with the republic, war and protest help explain how political history entered the everyday life of the city.
In “Prague Castle”: The stop “A castle for a republic” lets you consider the seat of power through its adaptation to a different political period.
In “Malá Strana”: Chalk marks against the regime and a watchful tower reveal another history of Malá Strana, between public expression and control.
In “Charles Square and its crypt”: The crypt associated with Operation Anthropoid and the bombs of 1945 bring the war into particular places in the New Town.
Choose from 7 independent walks in Prague. Open the one that interests you to see its map, stops and approximate duration before deciding. You don't need to do them all or follow this selection's order; each walk has its own starting and finishing points.
