You step out of a compact Trabant or a modern Škoda and the city’s stone edges reply with a low hum — Prague’s streets still remember 1942. The tour threads from the Vltava’s curve past castle rooftops to the heavy doors of St. Cyril and Methodius, where the paratroopers’ last defense once held the breath of a nation.
