Campus Visit

Riding a wave of public disgust at graft, a new Czech travel agency has started tours highlighting sites linked to corruption, a social ill that has plagued the ex-communist country for decades.

The aptly-named CorruptTour agency touts the “best of the worst” trips to posh villas, a nonsensical funicular, an empty meadow hosting a non-existent Olympic stadium, even a big, boxy concrete mausoleum.

[The tour guide] points out a non-existent house which 589 companies have registered as their headquarters, and a university at which students obtain a degree in under a year — for the right price.
