Gallery of Buses and Historical Snapshots – this photo collection offers a vivid look into the world of historic ŠKODA, KAROSA, PRAGA, and IKARUS buses. It features images from different eras and parts of Europe, showing vehicles in operation, during restorations, at exhibitions, and in private collections. You’ll also find vintage postcards, brochures, manufacturing scenes, and photographs from travels across former Czechoslovakia and abroad. Each picture tells its own story of a time when elegant buses with craftsmanship and soul ruled the roads.
