10-Z Bunker: A Top- Secret Soviet Relic Frozen in Time

A one-of-a-kind time travel experience–sleeping in and exploring the formerly top secret 10-Z Bunker in Brno, Czech Republic.

While the accommodations are spartan, chilly, and damp you’ll enjoy unfettered access to the tunnels and historic artifacts frozen in time exactly as they were when the Iron Curtain fell.
