Czech history encompasses both golden ages and dark chapters—the medieval prosperity when Prague was capital of the Holy Roman Empire, the religious wars that devastated Bohemia, the horror of Nazi occupation and communist repression, and the inspiring Velvet Revolution that restored freedom. Our guides take you through the places where this history unfolded, from the Gothic cathedrals that speak of medieval piety to the concentration camp at Terezín that demands witness, from the communist-era monuments that survive to the Wenceslas Square where crowds peacefully ended totalitarian rule. We provide historical context that helps you understand the complex Czech relationship with their neighbors, the recurring struggle for autonomy, and the cultural resilience that preserved national identity through centuries of foreign domination.
