β β β β β a month agoA fascinating tour through a former communist-era nuclear fallout shelter under Wenceslas Square. What made it stand out was our guide, Michael. Despite being young, his depth of knowledge is genuinely impressive β he covered the WW1, WW2, and communist periods with real command of the detail, and answered every question thoughtfully and precisely, no matter how specific. On top of that heβs got a great personality and sense of humor, so the whole tour stays engaging from start to finish. Highly recommend β ask for Michael if you can!

β β β β β a month agoWe had a fantastic time at the Cold War Museum! Our guide, on his very first day, did an excellent job, supported by a friendly colleague. The two led our small group through the entire bunker, offering a funny, interactive, and fascinating tour. Being in such a small group made the experience more personal and allowed us to ask questions freely, which really enhanced the tour. The location is packed with original artifacts and props, and on top of that, they have lockers for your bags, which is perfect given the tight bunker space. Absolutely worth a visit!
