Tour: The Fight for Democracy
I belong to the generation that is in the Czech Republic known as "Husak's children" (G. Husak was for many
years the General Secretary of the Communist Party) – I was born in Communist country. I grew up during
Communism and I was 15 years old, when was the Velvet Revolution, which began the revival of democracy. As a
teenager at the time of the Velvet Revolution I was of course very sensitive. The revolution started in
Prague and I was demonstrating on the Wenceslas Square and at Letna. I remember that time very well;
honestly the revolution has absolutely changed my life. But we will talk not only about the revolution, but
about the post war history in general. So we will discuss the re-establishment of Czechoslovakia in 1945 and

Boat trip to Prague ZOO or the Troja Chateau and the Prague Botanic Garden
Are you coming to Prague with your kids? The boat trip to Prague ZOO is for sure something they will love.
When the sun is shining and the weather is fine, the boat ride is a wonderful way, how to take in the
beautiful sites of the city from a different perspective. Most children find boats quite entertaining, and
the changing scenery will usually keep them interested for some time. In Prague ZOO you can spend long time
with the kids. Apart from all the wonderful animals, there are a sightseeing train, several playgrounds for
kids, a great wooden viewing platform and for the brave an old-fashioned but safe cable railway which offers
spectacular views over the zoo as well as western Prague. If you do not want to visit ZOO, but you enjoy the
Baroque architecture, then a nice boat trip from the downtown of Prague to the Troja chateau is something
for you. And you can combine it with the visit of the Prague Botanic Garden. At the Botanic Garden you can
enjoy open air exhibitions, arranged as an impressive park, historical Vineyard of St. Claire, Japanese
Garden, tropical greenhouse Fata Morgana. Also of importance, the natural surrounding is far away from the
