When you talk about Prague you usually talk about the old town because the idea is that all the history of the city is hidden there. Nothing could be further from the truth. The new city is almost as old and was actually built only 100 years later. There is therefore just as much to see in the new city, if not even more than in the old city. The tour starts at the St. Ludmilla Church, the most important and special church in the city of Prague after St. Vitus Cathedral. To end the tour we dive into Operation Anthropoid, one of the most important operations in Czech history. The attack on SS commander Reinhard Heydrich was in any case the most important event in the Czech Republic during the Second World War. Since we are in the area, we end the tour at the dancing house. Tired from the tour? No problem because you are at Naplavka, the nicest terraces on the quay of the Vltava River. Here you can relax by the water.

Fun but not exciting enough
For the money not spectacular, had nice spontaneous guide Olga , very quick of tongue, so had to listen carefully, been nice piece underground and saw torture tools. She knew a lot about it so it wasn't her fault but given the previous trip we had with a guide whose tip you could determine yourself vie die overihet44 LLP l
Response from the operator: Beste, U heeft deze beoordeling bij de verkeerde aanbieder geplaatst. Onze tour in de Praagse "New Town" vindt alleen in de zomer plaats en bij ons werkt ook helemaal geen Olga. Met vriendelijke groet, Team I Love Praag

Great walk, guide was a delight.
The start point was easy to find, the walking pace was leisurely and the surroundings like most of Prague are beautiful. This was our last day in Prague and we were looking for the operation anthropoid history. The guide Marge (apologies if your name is spelt incorrectly) was informative and as I said a delight. We took in a lot of the features you would expect and a few we were unaware of. I wish we had done this on day one as it really does give you a good understanding of the city and its layout. Thank you again really helpful and a great way to spend the day. Ps your timing to get to the moving head was amazing. Well done and thank you again. A must given the price of some tours in Prague these days, this tour really hits the mark.
Response from the operator: Good to hear that you had such a great experience with us.

Walking Tour New Town of Prague, WWII & Communism (Tip-based): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Prague.
How much does Walking Tour New Town of Prague, WWII & Communism (Tip-based) cost?
+
Prices start at $3 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Prague usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Walking Tour New Town of Prague, WWII & Communism (Tip-based) take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Prague is not rushed.
Is Walking Tour New Town of Prague, WWII & Communism (Tip-based) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Prague, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Walking Tour New Town of Prague, WWII & Communism (Tip-based)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Walking Tour New Town of Prague, WWII & Communism (Tip-based) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Walking Tour New Town of Prague, WWII & Communism (Tip-based)?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Prague can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Prague and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Walking Tour New Town of Prague, WWII & Communism (Tip-based) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Prague within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Prague?
+
On Outty we rank every Prague experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best Reviews: Bohemian & Saxon Switzerland Day Trip From Prague, Bohemian & Saxon Switzerland From Prague-Travelers' Choice 2026, Prague Historic Pub Tour with Drinks Included. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Prague?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Prague?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
