ARCHITECTURE AND MONUMENTALISM TOURS ACROSS THE FORMER ČSSR

Far from the madding crowds and tourist traps of central Prague, tucked away from the roaring motors of Brno, hidden behind the polished Bohemian façades of Karlovy Vary’s old town, there is a different country awaiting to be (re)discovered. The former Czechoslovak Socialist Republic (ČSSR) still lives on in a vast plethora of modernist shapes, brutalist buildings, realist monuments, colourful mosaics, Stalinist empire palaces, Soviet memorials, and war graves.

We routinely organise private Soviet Tours across the beautiful lands of Czechoslovakia, ranging from a classic socialist weekend escape in Ostrava or Bratislava to a three-week odyssey from Cheb in West Bohemia to Snina in the Slovak Far East. Our bespoke Soviet Tours to the bygone ČSSR are available all year round and, depending on the amount of people joining the trip, you will be pleased to find out that prices are not much higher than our scheduled group tours. Affordable custom-tailored private tours are, in fact, our speciality.

On a private tour you have the chance to travel at your own pace, have our local guides all to yourself and do things that normally aren’t possible on group tours such as be invited by a local family over for dinner or overnight in a socialist-era apartment. Whether you are interested in a particular area, architectural wonder, unusual activity and/or offbeat attraction within the former ČSSR or simply looking for an hit-and-run visit to Košice or Olomouc, you just need to tell us what you like and how many days off you got: we will then meet your needs with a unique tour individually designed according to your time schedule and specific geographical preferences.
