A shelter door and a portrait of Czechoslovakian President Antonin Zapotocky are displayed as part of an exhibition at the Cold War-Era nuclear shelter inside the Hotel Jalta on Wenceslas square in Prague, Czech Republic.

Hidden beneath the 1950s Hotel Jalta on Wenceslas Square lies a communist-era nuclear shelter that was opened to the public in 2013. The tour, led by a guide in period security-police uniform, takes in a series of secret chambers. The highlight is the communications room, where wiretaps in the bedrooms of important guests were monitored. Reserve tour spots online.
