An unusual walking tour that you should not miss - Interesting walking tour about communism in Prague. Even though the tour was 2 hours long, Vera Novotna brought us through the landmarks that were related to communism. I am pleasantly surprised that during the walking tour, I learnt lots and have a deeper understanding of how communism has affected the lives of people in Prague. Vera sharing her own personal experiences during the days of communism also made it very ethnic that we are not hearing from just others’ stories.
