Strahov stadium

During this stop, the licensed English-speaking guide explains the stadium’s origins in the First Czechoslovak Republic, its transformation during the communist era, and its role around the time of the Velvet Revolution. The commentary provides insight into how mass events, ideology, and everyday life were shaped during these periods.
Travelers will also have time to view the vintage Trabant 601 up close while hearing stories about the car’s place in Eastern European history and daily life behind the Iron Curtain.

During the walk, travelers will also hear about the traditional Strahov Monastery Brewery and its role in local history. The route continues through the monastery grounds toward a scenic viewpoint overlooking Prague’s historic city center.

The walk then continues along the river toward Hergetova Cihelna, passing through quiet streets and scenic riverbank paths. Along the way, the guide shares stories, legends, and historical context connected to the Lesser Town and its role in Prague’s development.
From a panoramic viewpoint near Hergetova Cihelna, travelers will enjoy an iconic view of Charles Bridge and the Old Town skyline. The guide provides commentary on the history, construction, and legends of Charles Bridge, offering a memorable perspective and excellent photo opportunities before the tour concludes.

Vintage Trabant Trip
Martina, our tour guide was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about this period of history. We learned a lot and also had great fun driving around Prague in the Trabant. Would thoroughly recommend this trip and we hope to return to the city again. Best wishes Patricia and Michael

Brilliant alternative car tour
This is a brilliant tour if you like old cars. The Trabant we used is a 1970s model painted lilac, not the most comfortable to get around in but that's not the point of the tour. Our guide (Andre) spoke good english and took us to see a few of the sights, as well as visiting a large carpark where we could drive the car as well. He also explained how the car works as well as the history of it. It turned many heads as we drove round.

Dear Ian!
Thank you for your kind review!
We are glad you enjoyed our pink Trabant and that you had such a good time with Ondra! He is absolutely irreplaceable and has been part of the team since 2009, and I'm sure he will be very happy to hear your great feedback! We will be pleased to have you back in the future, to show you more parts and off-the-beaten tracks of the city with more of our vintage cars!
Thank you and take care!

A wonderful experience
My husband got up close and personal to this wonderful little car, enjoying a memorable go at driving her. We then had a very interesting guided trip in the city, learning about the WW2 resistance fighters and visiting the church they were holed up in. Excellent!
Operator response
Hello Caroline!
Thank you for your kind review greatly appreciated!
Was awesome to show you around and I am glad that your husband on his 70th B-day got to test drive my vintage, I would honestly not hesitate to hire him as a trabant driver, always great to have on a tour people who appreciate and love vintage vehicles.
Thank you again for finding time to write a lovely review and hope to see you in the future!

Not a good use of time or money.
This was more of a history tour rather than an adventure in the Trabant. Host took us to an old stadium where we looked at the car and read through a book on Trabants - totally useless and uninteresting- a good 20-30 minutes of wasted time. Her car was in desperate need of cleaning/vacuuming, and refurbishment.
Operator response
Thank you for your feedback. I would like to clarify for future guests what this tour includes and how the day unfolded.
This is a vintage Trabant 601 from 1976 — an original piece of Cold War history. It does not have modern features such as air conditioning, and this is clearly stated in the product description. In fact, I rescheduled this booking to 8:00am specifically to ensure a cooler and more comfortable ride in summer weather.
The tour follows our advertised program: a drive to Strahov Stadium, the largest stadium in the world, now in ruins — an important and striking site from the communist era. Historical commentary is focused on the car’s legacy, Czechoslovakia’s communist period, and other “off the beaten track” locations.
During the tour, the guests requested to switch from the communist theme to a WWII focus, so I adapted the itinerary to include the Saints Cyril and Methodius Cathedral, site of the paratroopers’ last stand in 1942. I provided accurate historical context, but some questions and comments suggested a misunderstanding of historical timelines, which I clarified politely.
The tour concluded with a drop-off near the Old Town at a traditional Czech restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating, as requested. At every stage, I aimed to accommodate changes and preferences while delivering the unique experience described in the listing.
For future travelers: please read the activity description carefully before booking to ensure it matches your interests, as this tour is designed for those who appreciate authentic historical sites and the experience of riding in a genuine Trabant from the 1970s.

A must do
Martina was the best. We have taken Trabant tours in Krakow and were delighted when in Prague to be able to drive one. Martina was bright, funny, patient and a great teacher on how to drive a Trabant. Everyone should do this

Great host, great tour.
We booked the quick Trabant tour as my partner is a big classic car enthusiast. Martina was easy to contact, reasonably priced, payment taken on time and easy to communicate pick up and drop off arrangements. When Martina collected us from our hotel she was good fun and very knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and would recommend to others.
