Wartime Prague
Just got back from a conference in Prague but had a free day to tour the WW2 sights !
Here are some pics I took from the Army Museum, St Cyrils church and vault, Gestapo and Waffen SS HQ buildings
A superb tour and a most beautiful city!

Nice one Nick, I want to go myself sometime
Must have been poignant visiting the site where the 2 agents killed themselves rather than being captured
When are you off to Normandy ?????

Was this an official tour you took part in ? I would like to visit for a weekend in the summer or perhaps later on
Cheers
Give me a shout before you head to Prague, I will gladly assist.
Will do thanks, will be a long weekend in the summer, although I have been told Prague is very busy in the summer and perhaps September/October would be better ?
Cheers
Even now tourists walk the streets of the centre...but not so many as we have -15c and snow! But yes, an early autumn visit would be better to avoid at least some of the masses...the high summer also brings very high temps...a world away from where we are sat today...but uncomfortable nonetheless...
Let me know closer to the time anyway, i.e. when you've booked or reserved something and I'll help out.
