In Prague, Czech Republic, Corrupt Tour (phone +420 739 99 00 80) leads day tours to landmarks of corrupt politicians and business owners who have profited at the expense of the city since the fall of the Iron Curtain. The tours visit ornate houses, over-budget construction projects and government offices.

Three tours are offered: “The Prague Crony Safari,” a 2- to 3-hour bus or walking tour of “the habitats of cronies in the wild”; the “Hospital on the Edge of the Law,” a 2- to 3-hour bus or walking tour of three notoriously corrupt hospitals, and “Prague’s Best of the Worst,” a 1½- to 2-hour walking tour of the “monuments of corruption.”

For each, visitors can join a group tour, at 30 (near $40) per person, or schedule a tour. A bus tour costs 250 ($330) for a group of up to six, and a walking tour costs 60 for one person or 30 each for two to 13 people. For a tour, visit www.corrupttour.com/tours-price-list-bookings.
