Inside a Cold War Nuclear Bunker in Prague

Join me as I head to the Communism Museum in Prague and then onto a nuclear blast proof bunker hidden underground in the suburbs of the city.

The former Czechoslovakia became a communist country in 1948 and endured over 40 years of communist rule. During that time a number of Cold War bunkers were built in preparation for a nuclear attack from the west. Prague was close to the Iron Curtain so an attack on the city was deemed likely, and to put people's minds at rest they built these bunkers as a refuge for civilians if the worst was to happen.

Thankfully they were never needed. These days they are used for alternative purposes - nightclubs, storage units, and museums that serve as a reminder of the communist period.
