Would you travel to discover places hunted by historical tragedies, massacres, evil and death? That doesn't sound like a good idea I know, when you are supposed to relax and have fun from your daily routine, which in itself is scary enough! But you probably did already, you just decided to overlook that evil side of the trip. Dark tourism is a relatively new term in the tourism industry. And it's not much about the place, but more about the reasons why people visit them. Those tourists who find pleasure in digging deeper and deeper into the dark side of any city they visit. To discover what lies beneath those flashy happy touristic campaigns and advertisements. Yup, those people exist believe me and they are on the rise.

But let me first begin with a story from Prague about .... A Clock!
