What’s the experience like?

“You see that building over there?” our guide asked as we coasted down a quiet street in Prague’s Old Town. The morning was cool, the kind of weather where you keep your jacket zipped but your hands still get cold on the handlebars. We’d barely started our electric bike tour when he pointed out a nondescript doorway—once the SS headquarters during Nazi occupation. It’s strange how normal these places look now, but hearing stories right where they happened made everything feel closer.

We zigzagged through neighborhoods I’d never have found alone, stopping at the John Lennon Wall where someone was quietly adding fresh paint. The smell of spray paint mixed with damp stone lingered in the air. At the Victims of Communism memorial, our guide shared how families would leave flowers here every year—sometimes just before sunrise so nobody would see them. There’s a heaviness to these stories, but also moments that surprised me: like seeing school kids laughing near Franz Kafka’s statue or hearing church bells echo off old facades near Cyril and Methodius Cathedral.

By the time we reached the Museum of Communism (entry included), my legs were grateful for the electric boost. Inside, exhibits pulled no punches—old propaganda posters, ration cards, even a recreated interrogation room. Our guide answered every question with patience and local insight; he’d grown up here and remembered waiting in line for bread as a child. We wrapped up with a Czech beer tasting—honestly, it felt good to sit back and chat after such an intense ride through history.
