Bunker Vítkov, Cold War bunker in Žižkov, Czech Republic
Bunker Vítkov is an underground facility in Žižkov that was built during the Cold War to protect people in emergencies. The facility has multiple corridors, ventilation towers, and heavy armored doors that seal the chambers beneath Prague's streets.
The facility was built between 1950 and 1955 as tensions grew between East and West. It was part of Czechoslovakia's preparations for possible conflicts during that period.
The bunker reflects how Czechoslovakia prepared for emergencies and the fears that shaped daily life during tense times. The displays show what people were worried about and how they planned to survive.
Visitors need to book guided tours in advance and should arrive a few minutes early. Photography inside may involve extra fees, so it is worth checking the details beforehand.
The facility has independent electricity, water, and air conditioning systems that still function today, making it completely self-sufficient. These technical systems show how advanced Czechoslovakia was in building such protective spaces.
