<description><![CDATA[ Prague Zoo gets all the attention — and fair enough, it’s consistently ranked among the top zoos in the world — but the city is also full of smaller, low-key spots where kids can get hands-on with animals. These mini farms and forest parks are perfect for a relaxed weekend outing, most are free or nearly free, and several are just a short metro ride from the centre. Here’s our pick of the best small zoos and petting farms around Prague. 1. Milíčovský dvůr – Prague 11 Right on the edge of Milíčov forest, this outdoor farm is home to a horse, an ostrich, a fox, goats, sheep, pigs, rabbits and more. Feed dispensers let kids feed the animals directly, and there’s a sandpit, a wooden playground and a small snack stand on site. Entry costs just 20 CZK. Closed Mondays. ? K Milíčovu 100/8, Prague 11 — nearest metro: Háje 2. Chuchle Grove Mini Zoo – Prague 5 Set on a hillside inside the Chuchle Grove nature park, this zoo run by Prague’s city forestry service cares for injured and orphaned wildlife.

<description><![CDATA[ Prague’s growing pizza scene gained international attention after four local restaurants were recognized in the 50 Top Pizza Europa 2026 guide. The biggest success went to Pizza Nuova, which secured 30th place among the best pizzerias in Europe outside Italy. While the restaurant slipped a few places compared with last year’s ranking, it remains the only Czech establishment to appear in the guide’s main European list. Located near Prague’s Kotva department store, Pizza Nuova has built its reputation on authentic Neapolitan pizza made with premium Italian ingredients. The restaurant also holds certification from the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana, an organization that promotes traditional Neapolitan pizza-making standards. Prague’s recognition extended beyond a single restaurant. Three additional venues received the guide’s Excellent Pizzerias distinction, awarded to restaurants that consistently demonstrate outstanding quality. This year’s recipients are Da Pietro, Sasy The Original, and Diskotéka in Prague’s Dejvice district.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Pizzeria Da Pietro Praha (@dapietropraha) Diskotéka is one of this year’s notable newcomers. Shortly after opening, the restaurant attracted attention for its distinctive interior, centered around a large silver pizza oven designed to resemble a disco ball. Alongside its food, the venue hosts DJ...

<title>Prague Compared to 11 European Cities: Housing, Jobs, Transport,</title>
<link>https://pragueexaminer.com/prague-compared-to-11-european-cities-housing-jobs-transport</link>
<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/prague-compared-to-11-european-cities-housing-jobs-transport</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A new report from the Prague Institute of Planning and Development (IPR) compares life in Prague with 11 other European cities, following a typical resident’s day—from housing and commuting to work, education, and leisure. Based on verified data collected directly from partner cities, the study highlights both Prague’s strengths and its biggest challenges. Prague Has Some of Europe’s Least Affordable Housing The report found that Prague has the least affordable owner-occupied housing among the cities compared. Buying an apartment requires more than 13 years of gross salary, placing Prague alongside cities such as Barcelona, Munich, and Amsterdam. Unlike many Western European cities, Prague also lacks relatively affordable rental housing. Renting a 60-square-meter apartment costs around 40% of the average salary in Prague. By comparison, the same apartment would consume about 28% of average income in Munich and just 14% in Vienna. Strong Job Market, But Lower Incomes Prague continues to have one of the lowest unemployment rates in Europe, making it relatively easy to find work. However, real incomes remain below those of most Western European capitals. Workers in Munich earn roughly 50% more than those in Prague, while wages in cities such as Copenhagen have grown steadily over the...

<title>Future of Prague’s Výtoň Bridge Could Be Decided by the End of This Year</title>

<description><![CDATA[ The Railway Administration (Správa železnic) is expected to decide on the future design of Prague’s Výtoň Railway Bridge by the end of this year. If the final plan is approved, construction could begin in 2028. The long-delayed project has become the centre of a dispute between transport authorities and heritage experts. While railway officials argue that a new three-track structure is necessary to meet future transport demands, conservationists continue to push for the preservation of the existing historic bridge. The Railway Administration has warned that the current condition of the bridge requires a final decision soon. Dispute over historic structure The main proposal currently under consideration is the construction of a new three-track railway bridge. Správa železnic selected a project team last year, but the plan remains controversial due to opposition from heritage authorities and groups seeking to preserve the original structure. The debate has also attracted international attention. UNESCO representatives are preparing a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA), which will examine how the planned changes could affect Prague’s cultural heritage. The Transport Association supports the construction of a new bridge, arguing that rebuilding the existing structure would be more expensive and would not provide enough additional capacity. Construction could start...

<description><![CDATA[ The Czech government has approved the next phase of one of its largest railway infrastructure projects: a new tunnel connecting Prague and Beroun. Construction is expected to begin in 2032, with completion scheduled for 2044. The 24.7-kilometre double-track tunnel will significantly shorten travel times on one of the country’s busiest rail corridors. Once completed, trains will travel between Prague-Smíchov station and Beroun in around 13 minutes, reducing the current journey time by more than 30 minutes. The project will also improve connections towards western Czechia and neighbouring Germany. The journey from Prague to Pilsen is expected to take approximately 45 minutes, while international rail services to Munich and Nuremberg will become faster and more reliable. New railway line designed for speeds of up to 200 km/h The planned railway route will include a new high-speed section designed for trains travelling at up to 200 km/h. The tunnel will begin near Prague-Smíchov station, pass beneath the Barrandov area, and emerge near Beroun. A separate connection on the Prague side is also planned, linking the new line with Braník Bridge and Prague-Krč. The additional infrastructure will improve connections within the capital while increasing capacity on the wider railway network. Construction preparation underway...

<title>Prague and Stockholm Launch Cross&#45;Border Public Art Project</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/prague-and-stockholm-launch-cross-border-public-art-project</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Visitors in Prague and Stockholm will soon be able to communicate across borders through a pair of interactive public art installations designed to exchange anonymous messages between the two cities. The linked installations, created by the Czech initiative Praho! project and its Swedish partner Stockholm! project, will open in Stockholm on August 20 and in Prague on August 31. The installations are designed as private spaces intended for one visitor at a time. After entering, participants answer a series of questions before listening to an authentic audio recording left by someone in the other city. They are then invited to record their own message, creating an ongoing exchange between residents and visitors in Prague and Stockholm. According to the project team, the concept explores what happens when anonymous thoughts become personal through the human voice. “The installation creates a space where you first listen to someone else—and only then can you speak,” the organizers said. “We want to explore how connecting two different cities through shared experiences can foster understanding.” The initiative is part of Art &amp; Design Without Borders, an international collaboration supported by the Erasmus+ programme. The project brings together organizations from the Czech Republic and Sweden to...

<description><![CDATA[ At Manifesto Market, the aroma of Sichuan peppercorns and chili oil stands out among the usual mix of street food and drinks. It comes from Lá Bù Lá Street, the more casual sibling of the restaurant Lá Bù Lá, both founded by Wen, a Chongqing native who wants to introduce Prague diners to the real flavors of her hometown. Wen arrived in Prague in 2019 after being accepted into a Master’s program at the Prague University of Economics and Business. But studying was only part of the reason she moved. At 22, she wanted a new beginning and the chance to discover a different version of herself. “There was something about Prague that attracted me immediately,” she says. “The architecture, the pace of life, the atmosphere of the city — it all felt very charming. I wanted to see what kind of person I could become here.” That decision eventually led her into the restaurant business, with four concepts launched over the years — two that closed and two that continue today.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Lá Bù Lá Street (@labula_street) Beyond the Stereotypes For Wen, opening a Chinese restaurant in Prague was...

<description><![CDATA[ Earning an internationally recognized high school diploma and preparing for admission to top universities no longer requires moving abroad. Canadian International High School in Prague (CIHS) offers students in Grades 10-12 a fully English-language education based on the Canadian curriculum. Located in the heart of Prague, CIHS combines the strengths of Canada’s education system with the quality of life and accessibility of the Czech Republic. Students receive a globally recognized diploma while studying in a familiar European environment, avoiding the higher costs and challenges of relocating overseas. An International Diploma Recognized Worldwide Graduates earn the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), Canada’s official high school credential, recognized in more than 20 countries. The diploma provides access to over 30,000 universities and colleges worldwide, including leading institutions across Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe. Unlike the Czech education system, which typically spans 13 years, the Canadian program is completed in 12. As a result, students graduate a year earlier, begin university sooner, and gain an additional advantage as they build their academic and professional future. Learning the Canadian Way CIHS delivers its academic program in partnership with Toronto Imperial School, ensuring that students follow authentic Canadian educational standards. Courses...

<title>Charles Bridge Undergoes Careful Cleaning as Restorers Protect Historic Stonework</title>

<description><![CDATA[ The Prague Technical Administration of Communications (TSK) has started regular maintenance work on Charles Bridge, with restorers and specialists currently removing algae, moss and unwanted vegetation. The work is aimed at protecting the bridge’s sandstone elements from long-term damage caused by moisture and biological growth. According to TSK, the maintenance will continue over the coming weeks and will not affect pedestrian access or tourism on one of Prague’s most visited landmarks. Specialists are carrying out the work using climbing equipment and a support boat, allowing them to reach areas that are difficult to access from the bridge itself. The method enables detailed cleaning while avoiding any need to close the bridge to visitors. Experts say removing vegetation is an essential part of preserving Charles Bridge. Plants and microorganisms growing on the stone surface can retain moisture, which gradually weakens the masonry and accelerates natural deterioration. Restorers use traditional cleaning techniques The maintenance is being carried out manually using traditional restoration methods. Workers remove algae and other growth with controlled water pressure, silicone brushes and specialised tools. After cleaning the stone surfaces, restorers inspect and repair the joints between individual blocks. Damaged sections are cleaned to a depth of around two...

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/czechia-debates-social-media-ban-for-children-as-france-moves-ahead</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ France is moving toward stricter rules on children’s use of social networks, while a similar debate is gaining attention in the Czech Republic. Lawmakers, educators and experts are increasingly discussing whether children should face age restrictions on social media and tighter limits on smartphone use in schools. The issue has grown across Europe amid concerns about excessive screen time, cyberbullying, online safety and children’s exposure to unsuitable content. France has become one of the first European countries to push forward with legislation that would prevent children under the age of 15 from creating accounts on social media platforms. The French Senate has approved the proposal, which still requires approval from the lower house of parliament before it can become law. If adopted, the measure would take effect on September 1 and require online platforms to introduce age verification systems. Companies would also have to remove accounts belonging to underage users within four months. The French proposal also includes restrictions on mobile phone use in secondary schools, reflecting a wider European discussion about the role of smartphones in children’s lives. Czech Republic considers stricter rules for smartphones in schools The Czech Republic has so far focused mainly on regulating mobile phone...

<title>Five Things to Know Before Flying From Prague Airport This Summer</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/five-things-to-know-before-flying-from-prague-airport-this-summer</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Passengers departing from Prague Airport this summer are being advised to plan ahead as the airport prepares for its busiest travel season in years. To help travelers avoid unnecessary delays, the airport has released a list of practical recommendations covering transport, security screening, travel documents and baggage rules. Leave Extra Time to Reach the Airport The biggest challenge this summer is expected to be road access to the terminals. Construction at the Aviatická–Lipská intersection may cause traffic congestion on routes leading to the airport. Airport officials recommend using public transport whenever possible, as buses are not affected by the roadworks. Travelers arriving by car should allow extra time to reach the terminals, particularly during peak holiday periods. Self-Service Check-In Can Save Time Passengers can speed up the departure process by using the airport’s self-service facilities. Prague Airport now offers 31 check-in kiosks and 32 self-service baggage drop counters, available for flights operated by 18 participating airlines. Before heading to the airport, travelers should also verify the entry requirements for their destination. Those flying to the United Kingdom, for example, now need an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) before departure. Bring Physical Travel Documents Although many travelers rely on digital wallets and...

<description><![CDATA[ International drugstores, fashion retailers, discount chains and restaurant concepts are preparing to open their first locations in Czechia, adding new competition for established players. Here are some of the biggest brands expected to enter the Czech market. Müller German retailer Müller is preparing to launch in the Czech Republic. The company has already established a Czech branch and website, although it has not yet announced the opening date of its first store. Unlike traditional drugstores, Müller combines cosmetics and personal care products with toys, stationery, household goods, pet supplies and organic food. The chain operates nearly 1,000 stores across nine European countries and will compete with established Czech market leaders such as dm, Rossmann and Teta. Krispy Kreme American doughnut chain Krispy Kreme is reportedly searching for a location in central Prague and could open its first Czech store soon. Founded in North Carolina in 1937, the company became famous worldwide for its Original Glazed doughnuts and stores where customers can watch the production process. Ochnik Polish fashion brand Ochnik plans an ambitious expansion in the Czech Republic, with 15 to 20 stores expected by the end of 2026. The company specializes in leather jackets, footwear, luggage and accessories. It...

<title>Prague Petřín Cable Car Ticket Price to Rise to 100 CZK After Reopening</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/prague-petrin-cable-car-ticket-price-to-rise-to-100-czk-after-reopening</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Passengers using the iconic Petřín Cable Car will pay more when the service resumes in September. The city council has approved a new fare of 100 CZK for a single ride, up from the previous 60 CZK. The increase comes after a two-year shutdown during which the historic line underwent major reconstruction. The cable car has been out of operation since September 2024, with new vehicles built in Switzerland now undergoing final testing before returning to service. The first passengers are expected to board the renewed cable car in September, but the experience will come at a higher cost. Passengers who purchase tickets electronically will pay a discounted fare of 90 CZK. Children under 15 and seniors over 65 will continue to travel free of charge. The ride will also remain included in Prague’s 24-hour and 72-hour public transport tickets, as well as long-term travel passes. The Petřín Cable Car, one of Prague’s most popular attractions, connects the Újezd area with Petřín Hill and provides access to one of the city’s most visited viewpoints. The service has been closed while the track, technology and vehicles were being upgraded. The newly manufactured cars feature a modern design and are currently completing...

<title>Prague Airport Unions Declare Strike Readiness Over New CEO Appointment</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/prague-airport-unions-declare-strike-readiness-over-new-ceo-appointment</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Five trade unions at Václav Havel Prague Airport and ČSA Handling have announced strike readiness over the appointment of Radomír Lašák as the new head of Letiště Praha. The unions’ announcement does not currently affect airport operations. Prague Airport confirmed that all flights are operating normally and passengers should not expect disruptions, delays, or cancellations. The labour groups oppose Lašák’s appointment, pointing to his previous role in the management of Czech Airlines before the carrier entered bankruptcy proceedings. They have also raised concerns about the transparency of the selection process for the airport’s top executive position. Trade union representatives are seeking more information about possible future changes to the airport’s management structure, financial strategy, and personnel policy. They argue that employees have not received sufficient guarantees about the company’s future direction. Additional concerns emerged after Prime Minister Andrej Babiš said the government was considering a possible stock market listing of part of Prague Airport’s shares. Unions fear that such a move could bring changes to the airport’s operations and affect job security. Finance Minister Alena Šillerová rejected the concerns, saying there was no reason for employees to worry. According to her, Lašák was selected as the strongest candidate through an...

<title>Look Up! JAS 39 Gripen Jets to Fly Over Prague on Wednesday</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Prague residents will have the chance to see JAS 39 Gripen fighter jets flying above the city on Wednesday, July 22. The aircraft will take part in a ceremonial event at the National Memorial on Vítkov. The flyover is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. and will be carried out as a training flight connected with the ceremony. According to information from Prague 4 City Hall, the jets will approach the capital from the east, flying over areas including Běchovice, Dolní Počernice and Žižkov. The aircraft will then turn south over Prague Castle before continuing their return route through Podolí, Nusle and Hostivař. After completing the flight over the city, the jets will head back to their base in Pardubice. The route means residents in several parts of Prague may be able to see the aircraft, depending on weather conditions and visibility. Military aircraft flights over the capital are relatively rare but not unusual. In March 2024, crowds gathered in central Prague to watch a large military flyover marking the 25th anniversary of the Czech Republic joining NATO. That event included five fighter jets and an Airbus aircraft, which flew over landmarks including Charles Bridge. The fighter jets later returned to their...

<title>Five Legendary Ballets in One Night at Prague’s Hybernia Theatre</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/five-legendary-ballets-in-one-night-at-pragues-hybernia-theatre</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Prague’s Hybernia Theatre is hosting a series of special evenings dedicated to classical ballet, bringing together some of the most celebrated scenes from the world’s best-known productions. The upcoming Classic Ballet Gala will take place on July 22, 25 and 29. More info about the program here. The performance will feature students and graduates of the conservatory, presenting excerpts from legendary ballets including Don Quixote, Swan Lake, The Nutcracker, Sleeping Beauty and Le Corsaire. Rather than focusing on a single full-length production, the gala will offer audiences the opportunity to experience highlights from several major works in one evening. The young dancers will perform in specially prepared costumes and under the guidance of experienced teachers, including former soloists of the National Theatre Ballet. The artistic concept and dramaturgy of the evening are overseen by Pamela Morávková and Jiří Horák. The programme will combine the dramatic energy of Don Quixote, the romantic atmosphere of Swan Lake, the fantasy world of The Nutcracker, the fairy-tale elegance of Sleeping Beauty, and the adventure of Le Corsaire. Founded in 1945, the Prague Dance Conservatory is the oldest and largest institution of its kind in the Czech Republic. Over eight decades, the school has educated...

<title>Why Film Fans Traveled Hundreds of Kilometers to See “The Odyssey” in Prague</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey attracted film fans from across Europe to Prague, where Cinema City Flora hosted a sold-out 70mm IMAX premiere. Tickets for the opening night sold out within hours of going on sale, with visitors traveling from several countries to experience the film as Nolan intended. The adaptation of Homer’s ancient epic has been among the year’s most anticipated releases since its announcement. While its cast and source material generated significant attention, much of the excitement centered on its technical achievement. The Odyssey is the first feature film shot entirely on 70mm IMAX film, making screenings in compatible theaters exceptionally rare. Cinema City Flora is among roughly four dozen cinemas worldwide equipped to project 70mm IMAX film. Until earlier this month, it was the only venue in continental Europe with that capability. Following the opening of new theaters in France and Belgium, it is now one of just three across mainland Europe still offering the format. It also remains the continent’s longest-operating 70mm IMAX venue. Because 70mm IMAX projectors are no longer manufactured and require specialized maintenance, very few cinemas can continue operating the technology. That scarcity has turned Prague into a destination for moviegoers willing to travel...

<title>Twelve Prague Tram Lines Changed Due to Repairs in City Center</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/twelve-prague-tram-lines-changed-due-to-repairs-in-city-center</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Tram services on Spálená Street and Národní třída in central Prague have been suspended due to track repairs. The closure, which began on Saturday, will continue until August 10 and affects 12 tram lines operating through the city center. The Prague Public Transit Company (DPP) has not introduced replacement bus services during the disruption. Passengers are advised to use the metro as an alternative, especially for journeys through the busiest parts of the city. The affected section runs between the Újezd and Lazarská stops and impacts tram lines 2, 4, 5, 9, 18, 22, 23, 42, 93, 97, 98 and 99. Several routes have been temporarily modified. Some trams are being redirected through the National Theatre stop on Masarykovo nábřeží, while others are operating via Myslíkova Street and Jiráskovo náměstí, or through Anděl and Švandovo divadlo. Some lines have received more significant route changes. Two Temporary Tram Lines Added During Repairs To help manage the disruption, DPP has introduced two temporary tram services. Line 32 connects Vypich with Sídliště Řepy, while line 39 runs between Vozovna Žižkov and Náměstí Bratří Synků. A new temporary stop has also been created at Malostranská. During daytime operations, trams will stop on the Edvarda...

<title>Top Tower in Prague’s Nové Butovice Receives Building Permit</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/top-tower-in-pragues-nove-butovice-receives-building-permit</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The planned Top Tower skyscraper in Prague’s Nové Butovice has received a building permit, clearing a major obstacle for the project that is expected to become the tallest building in the Czech Republic. The 126-metre tower, developed by Czech company Trigema, will feature a large architectural structure resembling the wreck of a ship leaning against the building. The unusual element was designed by artist David Černý together with architect Tomáš Císař. The exact construction start date has not yet been announced and will depend on further administrative procedures. The project is planned to include around 250 residential units, mainly designed as smaller apartments and shared housing options aimed at younger residents. According to the approved plans, Top Tower will have 44 floors, including 37 above-ground levels and seven underground floors. The underground section will include technical facilities and parking spaces for approximately 250 vehicles. The lower floors are planned to contain shops, cafés, a reception area, offices, a multifunctional hall, a rooftop terrace and a bar. The upper part of the building will focus on shared living spaces with smaller residential units and communal facilities. The highest levels will include observation areas, cafés and a luxury apartment. The most distinctive...

<description><![CDATA[ In the quiet village of Bukovka, around 90 kilometres east of Prague, one house stands out from all the others. Painted in Argentina’s iconic sky blue and white, complete with a giant Sun of May on its façade, it is impossible to miss. Outside, a life-sized statue of Diego Maradona greets visitors, while a massive mural of Lionel Messi and Argentina’s 2022 World Cup-winning squad covers the back of the building. The extraordinary home belongs to Miloslav “Čurby” Urbanec, 51, arguably Czechia’s most devoted supporter of Argentine football. Urbanec’s passion began almost five decades ago. As a four-year-old, he watched the 1978 FIFA World Cup with his father, who supported Brazil. But while his father admired Pelé and the Brazilian greats, Urbanec fell in love with Argentina. The team’s long-haired stars reminded him of Winnetou, his childhood hero, and Argentina’s triumph that summer sealed a lifelong obsession. His admiration has since grown far beyond simply watching matches. After returning from the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, he decided to transform his property into a tribute to Argentina’s football culture.   The mural features not only Lionel Messi but also head coach Lionel Scaloni, assistant coaches Pablo Aimar and Walter Samuel,...

<title>Prague 6 Wants to End Night Flights from Václav Havel Airport by 2032</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Prague 6 is calling for a complete ban on night flights at Václav Havel Airport, arguing that residents should have the right to uninterrupted sleep. The district wants to gradually reduce air traffic during nighttime hours, with a full restriction planned no later than 2032. The airport currently plans to limit night operations to 48 flights per night under its voluntary declaration. However, Prague 6 officials say the number is still too high and want stricter measures. “Our goal is to ensure that residents of Prague 6 can enjoy peaceful and undisturbed sleep, which is a basic condition for a healthy and fulfilling life in our district,” said Prague 6 Mayor Jakub Stárek (ODS). The district council is seeking a complete ban on flights between midnight and 5:30 a.m. by 2032. According to officials, the measure would significantly reduce noise exposure and improve the quality of life for people living near the airport. The district plans to negotiate the proposal with Air Traffic Control, the national Slot Coordination Office, and the Ministries of Transport and Finance. A special working group is expected to be created to discuss possible solutions. Prague 6 wants the number of night flights to decrease by...

<description><![CDATA[ Few cities are as closely connected to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart as Prague. More than two centuries after Don Giovanni premiered here, visitors can still experience his music in a setting that captures the atmosphere of the era. The Mozart Dinner at the Grand Hotel Bohemia combines a live opera performance with a three-course dinner in the hotel’s spectacular Boccaccio Hall, one of Prague’s finest historic ballrooms. The concert features leading opera singers accompanied by a string quintet, performing some of Mozart’s best-known arias and duets from The Marriage of Figaro, The Magic Flute, and Don Giovanni. The latter holds a special place in Prague’s history, having premiered at the city’s Estates Theatre in 1787. The performance is designed to be more intimate than a traditional opera concert. Instead of remaining on stage throughout the evening, the singers move through the hall, performing among the audience and making guests feel part of the experience. The evening is divided into three musical performances, with each followed by a course of dinner. Rather than separating the concert from the meal, the format allows the two to complement one another, creating a relaxed pace that encourages guests to enjoy both. The menu draws on...

<description><![CDATA[ Two people died and another person was seriously injured after a violent axe and knife attack at a hostel in Prague. Police officers responding to the scene shot and killed the attacker, who had also threatened them. The incident happened on Thursday evening at a hostel on Vídeňská Street in Prague 4, according to Czech news outlet Novinky.cz, which first reported on the case. The hostel is located near the Institute of Clinical and Experimental Medicine (IKEM), and the attacker and victims were reportedly employees of the medical facility. Police said the suspect attacked people inside the building before turning on responding officers. The officers used their weapons against him, and the attacker was killed at the scene. Authorities later confirmed that no further threat to the public remained. Emergency crews treated four people following the incident. Two victims suffered cardiac arrest and rescuers immediately began resuscitation efforts. Despite their attempts, both patients died. A third person suffered serious injuries caused by a sharp weapon. After receiving medical treatment, the injured person was transported to a trauma centre while conscious. The fourth person involved in the incident was not physically injured but required medical attention due to psychological and internal...

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/czech-government-in-talks-to-buy-israeli-air-defense-systems</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Prague is discussing the possible purchase of Israeli-made air defense systems, including the Spyder and Arrow platforms, as part of efforts to strengthen the country’s military capabilities. Czech Foreign Minister Petr Macinka said on Tuesday that Prague is holding talks with Israeli defense companies over the acquisition of several air defense systems. He made the remarks during a press conference with Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar in Tel Aviv. Macinka confirmed that the Czech government is examining several options to modernize its air defense capabilities, including Israel’s Spyder system and the Arrow missile defense system. He did not provide details on the potential value of the purchases or a possible timeline for any agreement. “Regarding the Spyder, yes, we are discussing air defense systems with Israel because these systems are technologically among the most advanced,” Macinka said. The talks come as European countries increase investment in air defense systems amid growing security concerns. Israeli systems have attracted attention due to their capabilities in intercepting missiles, drones, and other aerial threats. The discussions also reflect continued defense cooperation between the Czech Republic and Israel. Prague has previously purchased Israeli military technology, including the SPYDER short-range air defense system from Israeli defense...

<description><![CDATA[ Police are investigating a shooting that left a woman dead and a man seriously injured on Herbenova Street in Prague 10. Investigators say the incident appears to have been a murder followed by an attempted suicide. Emergency services were called to the scene after reports of gunfire. Several police units were sent to the area while officers secured the location and began investigating the circumstances of the incident. “When officers arrived, they found one person dead with a gunshot wound and another injured person nearby. We are currently looking for the perpetrator,” Prague police said in a statement published on social media platform X. According to preliminary findings, detectives believe the incident involved a former couple. The woman, born in 1975, was killed, while the man, born in 1971, is believed to have attempted to take his own life after the attack. Police later confirmed that there was no longer any danger to the public. Paramedics also responded to Herbenova Street, sending multiple emergency crews, including doctors and an emergency supervisor. “Two patients with serious injuries were under our care.

<title>Czech Parliament Approves Return of Electronic Sales Records Starting Next Year</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/czech-parliament-approves-return-of-electronic-sales-records-starting-next-year</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The Czech Chamber of Deputies has approved the return of electronic sales records (EET), a system that will once again require businesses to register certain payments. However, the new version will differ from the original system introduced in 2016. One of the main changes is that businesses will no longer be required to automatically print receipts for customers. Smaller self-employed entrepreneurs will also be able to use a free state-provided application to record sales through a smartphone. Finance Minister Alena Schillerová said the restored system could bring additional revenue of at least CZK 14.4 billion per year. The government argues that EET will create equal conditions for businesses and prevent companies that follow the rules from being disadvantaged. Unlike the previous version, the renewed EET system will focus only on certain types of payments. It will apply to direct transactions such as cash payments, card payments made at a physical location, and QR code payments. Online payments made through e-shops will not be included in the system. Smaller businesses will have exemptions The legislation also introduces several exemptions from mandatory sales registration. Among those excluded will be self-employed people with annual turnover of up to CZK 1 million who use...

<title>Expat Next Door: Lorenzo Di Bisceglie From Italy</title>

<description><![CDATA[ For many expats, learning Czech is one of the biggest challenges of settling in Prague. While English can be enough to navigate everyday life, understanding the local language often becomes the key to connecting with the city and its people. Few people know this journey better than Lorenzo Di Bisceglie, the owner of Language Atelier, a language school in Prague’s Old Town that focuses on personalised courses taught by native speakers. His connection to Prague, however, began long before he took over the school. “The reason why I ended up in Prague is that at the university in Italy I took Bohemian Studies as my main subject – Czech language and literature,” he says.  “That’s usually where I start when people ask about my story, and people are always surprised. It looks like Bohemian Studies are not so popular.” Over seventeen years in Prague, he has seen the city and its international community change. “When I arrived in Prague, the town was still predominantly Czech,” he recalls. “In all these years the expat community grew exponentially.” Before taking over Language Atelier, Lorenzo spent years teaching languages as a freelancer. Becoming a business owner was never part of the original plan....

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/prague-apartment-prices-near-metro-stations-the-2026-ranking</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ This article has been written by Finaram.cz, a Czech platform specializing in mortgages, home financing, and real estate advice. For many people buying property in Prague, one question comes up early in the search process: How much extra are you paying to live near a metro station? The answer is often: quite a lot. According to Valuo’s Metro Index 2026, apartment prices around Prague metro stations vary dramatically depending on location. The most expensive stations exceed CZK 250,000 per m², while the most affordable remain close to CZK 110,000 per m². How the Data Was Calculated This comparison focuses on apartments in personal ownership with a size of 65–95 m², either renovated or newly built, located within one kilometer of a Prague metro station. The analyzed period covers October to January 2026. Using the same criteria across all metro locations makes it possible to compare neighborhoods on a more like-for-like basis and identify where buyers are paying the highest — and lowest — prices for metro access. Which Metro Line Is the Most Expensive? Valuo’s data shows significant differences between Prague’s metro lines. Average apartment prices along each route stand at: Line A: CZK 171,200/m² Line B: CZK 144,400/m² Line C:...

<description><![CDATA[ The Prague Exhibition Grounds will host the fifth edition of the NeverMore 68 festival on August 21, marking the anniversary of the 1968 Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia. This year’s event will focus on one of the occupation’s most lasting consequences: the forced departure of hundreds of thousands of people who left the country in search of freedom. Held under the theme “Stories of Those Who Were Missing Here”, the festival will highlight the lives of both well-known figures and ordinary citizens who emigrated after the Soviet-led invasion. Their absence had a profound impact on Czechoslovak families, culture, science, education and public life. NeverMore 68 has become one of the Czech Republic’s largest events dedicated to remembering the events of 1968 and their consequences. The festival combines historical reflection with discussions about democracy, freedom and the importance of preserving collective memory. Festival will explore the impact of emigration after 1968 The one-day programme will include discussions with historians, journalists and witnesses of the period, exhibitions, documentary screenings and a special broadcast by Czech Radio Radiožurnál.

<title>New Park to Open in Prague’s Karlov as Part of New Green Promenade</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/new-park-to-open-in-pragues-karlov-as-part-of-new-green-promenade</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A new public park is being created in Prague’s Karlov, transforming an overlooked passageway into a green space for walking, relaxation and views of the city. The Karlovská předmostí park will officially open on July 23 and will become part of a planned pedestrian promenade connecting Karlov, Albertov and Větrov. The area between Horská Street and the New Town walls currently serves mainly as a route for people passing through, but the redevelopment aims to turn it into a place where visitors can stop and spend time. The project includes new greenery, walking paths, benches and seating areas built along the historic walls. A new public artwork, titled Zpřítomnění (Making Present), will also become part of the park after being selected through an architectural competition. The bronze sculpture, created by Jan Darks and David Velík, recalls the former children’s hospital in Karlov, which was demolished in 1971 to make way for the construction of the Nusle Bridge. The renovation has included repairs to the existing walls, replacement of staircases and cleaning nearby structures from graffiti. The park’s paths have received new surfaces made from hammered and chipped paving, while the original street furniture has been replaced with new benches and...

<description><![CDATA[ There are places in Prague where it is easy to forget you are still in the middle of a busy city. The garden of Restaurant Červený Jelen, right in the centre, is once again one of them. In the evening light, it offers a calm summer setting with music, the smell of food from the grill, well-made drinks, and an atmosphere that feels closer to a relaxed seaside bar than a capital city courtyard. Jelení léto continues throughout the summer until 2 September, offering an after-work escape for anyone who wants to slow down for a while, meet friends, or spend an easy summer evening in a different rhythm than the rest of the city. The events take place every Wednesday from 6 pm, with selected Sunday editions also included in the programme. The special Sunday evenings are scheduled for 19 July and 23 August, both starting at 4 pm. Each week has its own programme and mood. Music is part of the concept throughout the season, with DJs and occasional live sets in cooperation with Hitrádio City. Alongside the music, the programme is built around themed evenings focused on drinks. The line-up includes Bacardi (19 July), Peach Spritz evenings...

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/czech-republic-to-witness-its-biggest-solar-eclipse-until-2075</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The Czech Republic is set to experience its most impressive solar eclipse in decades on August 12, when the Moon will pass between the Earth and the Sun. Astronomers say it will be the country’s most significant partial solar eclipse until 2075, making it the standout astronomical event of 2026. While Czech observers will see most of the Sun obscured, those traveling to parts of Spain, Iceland and Greenland will witness the eclipse in its total phase. Researchers note that it will also be the closest total solar eclipse to the Czech Republic until 2081, making it a rare opportunity for both amateur and professional skywatchers. The path of totality will cross Greenland, Iceland, northern Russia, the Atlantic Ocean, Spain, and a small part of northwestern Portugal. Across much of Europe, including the Czech Republic, the event will appear as a partial eclipse. When to watch in the Czech Republic The eclipse will unfold during the evening as the Sun approaches the horizon. The phenomenon is expected to begin shortly after 7:19 p.m. CEST, reaching its maximum around 8:11 p.m. In southern and western Bohemia, the Moon will cover more than 86 percent of the Sun’s visible surface. Astronomers say...

<title>Prague Has Plenty of Asian Restaurants. Han.sik Does Things Differently</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/prague-has-plenty-of-asian-restaurants-hansik-does-things-differently</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Prague’s Asian dining scene has expanded quickly in recent years. Korean food in particular has moved from niche to mainstream, helped by the popularity of fermented dishes like kimchi and a growing appetite for meals that are more interactive than passive. Han.sik is located inside the Masaryčka building, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, is one of the newer openings pushing that shift further. The restaurant sits on the first floor, away from the busiest walkways. It is not immediately obvious on a first visit, and many people hesitate before finding the entrance. Once inside, the atmosphere changes completely. The space, designed by NEUHÄUSL HUNAL, is built around wood, open surfaces and restraint. There is an open kitchen and a sushi counter, but nothing feels decorative for its own sake. The focus remains on the tables and the food. Han.sik is, above all, a Korean barbecue restaurant. Each table has a built-in grill with integrated ventilation, removing the need for overhead chimneys. The room feels open and uncluttered, with attention kept firmly on the dining experience. The meal begins with the meat selection: Black Angus beef, Iberico pork and A5 wagyu sit among the highlights. Guests cook everything themselves at the...

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/pragues-kotva-to-reopen-in-2028-with-three-italian-brands</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Prague’s Kotva department store will reopen in 2028 after an extensive redevelopment, with Italian luxury fashion, dining and hospitality brands among its first confirmed tenants. Owner Generali Real Estate announced that fashion house Dolce &amp; Gabbana, hospitality group Cipriani, and Italian food retailer Eataly will all open locations inside the renovated complex. The company also said luxury menswear brand Kiton, based in Naples, is expected to join the project at a later stage. The redevelopment aims to transform Kotva into a high-end retail and public destination while preserving one of Prague’s best-known modernist buildings. According to Generali Real Estate, the renewed complex will combine international brands with spaces focused on design, gastronomy and contemporary urban life. Kotva has been closed for a major renovation that is expected to be completed in 2028. Once finished, the building is intended to serve not only as a shopping destination but also as a place for dining, leisure and public events. Kotva first opened in 1975 and was designed by architects Věra and Vladimír Machonin. Its distinctive hexagonal structure has made it one of the country’s most recognizable examples of Czechoslovak Brutalist architecture. The building received cultural monument status in 2019, recognizing its architectural...

<title>Czech Government Considers Making Kindergarten Compulsory from Age Four</title>
<link>https://pragueexaminer.com/czech-government-considers-making-kindergarten-compulsory-from-age-four</link>
<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/czech-government-considers-making-kindergarten-compulsory-from-age-four</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The Czech government is considering extending compulsory preschool education from one year to two, meaning children could be required to attend kindergarten from the age of four. Education Minister Robert Plaga (ANO) said the proposal aims to provide earlier support for children who may need additional help before starting primary school. “Schools need more psychologists, special educators and other experts who can support both children and teachers. This support must begin as early as possible, already in kindergarten,” Plaga said in a video published on Facebook. He added that early intervention can improve children’s chances of success later in life. Currently, preschool education is compulsory in Czechia only for children who turn five before the start of the school year. The minister argues that earlier attendance could help children from disadvantaged backgrounds or those facing difficult situations at home. “A child’s more challenging behavior is not always caused by a lack of interest in education. In some cases, children are dealing with difficult circumstances and need support before their problems become more serious,” Plaga said. He added that helping children develop their abilities or overcome difficult periods represents a long-term investment in society. Lack of kindergarten places remains a challenge...

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/new-ranking-puts-prague-among-the-top-10-city-for-expats</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ For many people considering a move abroad, feeling welcome can be just as important as career opportunities or quality of life. While some countries are popular tourist destinations, not all make it easy for newcomers to settle, find work, build friendships and navigate everyday life. That’s the thinking behind a new study from international insurance provider William Russell, which has ranked the world’s most welcoming countries and cities for expats in 2026. Experts crunched six factors, including real expat experiences, migrant population size, foreign-born employment rates, local attitudes towards immigrants, and safety and visa openness, to work out where newcomers can happily build a life. The world’s most welcoming country? Iceland, scoring 8.94 out of 10. The land of fire and ice has the highest foreign-born employment rate in the study, with a whopping 84.2 percent of international residents in work – meaning expats aren’t just tolerated, they’re properly woven into the economy. Luxembourg took second place (more than half its residents were born abroad, the highest share in the world), while New Zealand rounded out the podium. The rest of the top 10 is mostly a parade of wealthy nations like Australia, Switzerland and Ireland, with one glorious outlier:...

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/danish-discount-chain-to-open-first-czech-stores-in-prague</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The Danish retail chain Normal will officially enter the Czech market next month, opening its first two stores in Prague and bringing its distinctive shopping concept to local customers. The retailer has confirmed that its Czech debut will begin on August 12 at Atrium Flora, followed by a second store opening on August 14 at Galerie Butovice. The company says Prague will serve as the starting point for its expansion into the country. Unlike traditional discount retailers, Normal does not rely on temporary sales, promotional campaigns, or loyalty schemes. Instead, the chain focuses on offering internationally recognized brands at stable, competitive prices throughout the year. “We are very happy to begin our expansion into the Czech market with the opening of two stores in Prague,” said CEO Jakob Frölich Maarbjerg. “We believe Czech customers will appreciate our concept, which combines well-known brands, consistently low prices, and a broad product selection.” One of the company’s defining features is the design of its stores. Rather than using conventional aisles, customers follow a maze-like route that leads them through the entire assortment before reaching the checkout. The layout is intended to encourage shoppers to discover products they might otherwise overlook. Normal’s range includes...

<description><![CDATA[ Just a short walk from Prague’s Main Railway Station, a café is quietly redefining the idea of sitting down for coffee. The Healthy Longevity Café sits in a carefully designed space filled with greenery, natural light and minimalist furniture. Yet it is more than a café. It is directly connected to a preventive diagnostics centre on the first floor, creating a concept that combines hospitality with science-based prevention and wellness. Alongside coffee and food, the menu includes drinks blended with ingredients such as MCT oil, ghee, chaga and cinnamon, as well as nutritionally balanced lunches developed with longevity-focused principles in mind. Visitors can also head upstairs for preventive diagnostic assessments, lifestyle evaluations and personalised programmes based on detailed biological data. The project is part of the Longevitytech.Fund ecosystem, which invests in companies focused on extending healthy human lifespan. In Prague, the café and diagnostics centre serve as a practical testing ground for these ideas, making advanced preventive diagnostics more accessible in an everyday setting.     View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Healthy Longevity Café Prague (@healthylongevity.cafe) The preventive diagnostics centre is located on the first floor.

<description><![CDATA[ Prague will celebrate the 669th anniversary of the laying of the foundation stone of Charles Bridge on Wednesday and Thursday with a series of historical events, lectures, and free museum activities. The main celebrations will take place on Thursday, July 9, beginning before sunrise. At 5:00 a.m., a ceremonial procession portraying Holy Roman Emperor and Czech King Charles IV, accompanied by his wife Anna of Świdnica, Bohemian knights, medieval squires, drummers, musicians, and soldiers, will depart from the Lesser Town Bridge Towers and make its way across Charles Bridge. The procession will arrive at Křižovnické Square, where, at exactly 5:31 a.m., Charles IV will symbolically strike the bridge’s foundation stone. The ceremony recreates the precise moment when construction officially began on July 9, 1357, following the famous numerical sequence 1-3-5-7-9-7-5-3-1, believed at the time to bring prosperity and good fortune. After the reenactment, Křižovnické Square will host a historical and cultural program featuring medieval dances by Regii Caroli regis, traditional music performed by Řemdih, and appearances by the royal drummers and standard-bearers of the Fedrfechtýř group. The day’s program will conclude with a 7:00 a.m. Mass at the Church of St. Francis of Assisi, led by Grand Master Josef Šedivý....

<description><![CDATA[ The annual Night of Castles and Chateaux takes place on August 22. The program includes night tours, tours with lanterns and candles, theatrical performances, concerts, shows and other amusements. Highlights include torchlight displays in Prague’s Baroque gardens, 1930s swing and fashion in Brno’s villas, and a hunting-season atmosphere at Hluboká Chateau. Visitors can also join candlelit tours in Buchlovice, discover a secret passage at Bezděz, or listen to French chansons in Častolovice. You can try contemporary fare in the castle kitchens, have a look in places where visitors usually never get to see, or you can walk around the château with a flashlight and hear stories that sent chills down the spine during previous generations. The following Prague landmarks participate in this event every year: the Senate of the Czech Republic, the Gardens below Prague Castle, Invalidovna, and Chvalský Castle. The Night of Castles and Chateaux is an annual celebration organized by the National Heritage Institute starting in 2010. Its goal is to showcase these sites in a new light, at an unusual time of day, and with a special program. Unlike Museum Nights, it is not a requirement that the events be free for visitors; on the contrary, it...

<description><![CDATA[ Tesco is considering selling its operations in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary, according to a report by the Financial Times. The British supermarket group is reportedly holding discussions with bankers about a possible sale of its Central European business as it looks to sharpen its focus on the UK market. Tesco declined to comment on the report, saying it does not respond to market speculation. A sale would affect a business employing around 22,000 people across the three countries. More than 10,000 employees work in the Czech Republic alone, making Tesco one of the country’s largest private-sector employers. Tesco entered the Hungarian market in 1995 before expanding into the Czech Republic and Slovakia the following year. Since then, it has built one of the region’s largest retail networks. According to its latest annual report, the company operates 561 stores across the three countries. Despite its size, the Central European business contributes only a small share of Tesco’s overall earnings. The company’s European division generated £4.5 billion (around CZK 128 billion) in revenue during the last financial year, while adjusted operating profit reached £115 million. By comparison, Tesco’s total group sales stood at £66.6 billion, with adjusted operating profit of...

<description><![CDATA[ Linda Nosková produced another impressive performance at Wimbledon on Wednesday, defeating Belgium’s Elise Mertens 6-3, 7-5 to reach the first Grand Slam semifinal of her career. The 21-year-old’s victory means Czechia will have two women in the Wimbledon semifinals, with Karolína Muchová also securing her place in the final four. It marks the first time since the 2019 Australian Open that two Czech women have reached the semifinals of the same Grand Slam. At Wimbledon, the last Czech duo to achieve the feat was Petra Kvitová and Lucie Šafářová in 2014. Nosková arrived in London in excellent form after winning the Berlin Open and has now claimed 10 victories in her last 11 matches. Her previous best Grand Slam result came at the 2024 Australian Open, where she reached the quarterfinals. With this latest win, she also became the eighth Czech woman to reach the Wimbledon semifinals since 2000. Against the experienced Mertens, Nosková built her success around a powerful serve and aggressive returning. She struck 30 winners compared with Mertens’ 18 and fired seven aces during the one-hour, 49-minute contest.

<title>Czech Government to Raise Defence Spending by CZK 36 Billion Next Year</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/czech-government-to-raise-defence-spending-by-czk-36-billion-next-year</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The Czech government plans to increase defense spending by 36 billion CZK next year, allowing the Czech Republic to meet its NATO commitment of spending 2% of GDP on defence for the first time. Prime Minister Andrej Babiš announced the plan before departing for the NATO summit in Ankara, where allied leaders are expected to discuss military spending, the war in Ukraine and the future direction of the alliance. The Ministry of Defense received 154.79 billion CZK in this year’s state budget, equivalent to roughly 1.8 percent of GDP. An additional 30 billion CZK is expected to support defense-related projects through other parts of the state budget, but the government has acknowledged this will still fall short of NATO’s methodology for reaching the alliance’s spending benchmark. Earlier this year, Defense Minister Jaromír Zůna said NATO estimates Czech defense spending at 1.78 percent of GDP in 2026. His ministry has proposed increasing the budget to around 190 billion CZK next year to meet the alliance’s target. Speaking before the summit, Babiš described the gathering in Ankara as one of the most important NATO meetings in recent years. He said the Czech delegation would attend as the country’s new coalition government, emphasizing...

<title>Prague Plans 8,000 Municipal Apartments to Ease Housing Crisis</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/prague-plans-8000-municipal-apartments-to-ease-housing-crisis</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Prague is preparing a major expansion of its municipal housing stock, with plans for up to 8,000 new city-owned apartments over the coming years. While construction remains limited today, the city says dozens of projects are moving through the planning process as it seeks to increase the supply of affordable rental housing. The programme is being coordinated by the Prague Development Company (PDS), a city-owned organisation established in 2020 to prepare residential developments on municipal land. According to its latest annual report, PDS has been entrusted with around 90 hectares of land, where more than two dozen projects are planned. The apartments are intended primarily for people who struggle to find affordable housing, including seniors, people with disabilities, single parents and workers in key public services such as healthcare, education, the police and the fire brigade. Despite these ambitions, only a small number of municipal apartments are currently being built. Data from Prague’s Institute of Planning and Development (IPR) shows that since 2019, around 50 to 60 municipal apartments have been completed each year, almost all of them developed by individual city districts. Among the latest projects are a building with 29 municipal apartments in Modřany, developed by Prague 12,...

<title>Prague Metro Line D Could Bring Direct Connections to Central Bohemia</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/prague-metro-line-d-could-bring-direct-connections-to-central-bohemia</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The planned Depo Písnice station on Prague’s new Metro Line D could become a key transport hub connecting the capital with several towns in the Central Bohemian Region. The terminal station is expected to stand close to Prague’s southern border and could allow passengers to travel from the city centre almost directly to surrounding areas. According to current plans, the station entrance will be built near the border of Prague. The first trains on this section of Line D are expected to operate around 2032. Depo Písnice is designed as more than just a metro terminus. The project includes a P+R parking facility with space for 409 cars, a bus terminal and a transfer point for passengers from nearby towns such as Dolní Břežany, Vrané nad Vltavou, Jílové, Jesenice and Benešov. The Prague Public Transit Company estimates that around 5,500 passengers could use the station every day. The new metro line is also expected to reduce pressure on existing transport hubs, especially Kačerov and Budějovická stations, which currently handle large numbers of passengers travelling from southern Prague and surrounding municipalities. Plans for the area around Depo Písnice include the development of a new public space with a square, housing and...

<title>Prague Won’t Raise Public Transport Fares, Even as Costs Grow</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/prague-wont-raise-public-transport-fares-even-as-costs-grow</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The Prague City Council has approved a new transport strategy that will shape the city’s public transport system from 2026 to 2030. The plan focuses on improving capacity, reliability and service quality across the Prague Integrated Transport (PID) network, which also connects to the Central Bohemian Region. Despite rising operational costs, the city has again ruled out any increase in public transport fares. This position remains unchanged even as the financial gap in the system continues to grow. Prague remains among the cheapest Czech cities According to the plan, Prague still has one of the lowest public transport costs among major Czech cities. With an annual pass, the daily cost of travel is roughly 10 CZK. Annual ticket prices in selected cities: Prague – 3,650 CZK Brno – 4,750 CZK Ostrava – 4,400 CZK Plzeň – 4,656 CZK Liberec – 3,990 CZK Growing gap between costs and revenues Behind the political decision to keep fares unchanged is a widening financial gap. In 2019, Prague set a goal for fare revenue to cover roughly a quarter of the operating costs of the PID system. That target is no longer being met. Last year, fare income reached a record 5.41 billion CZK,...

<description><![CDATA[ A new open-air event inspired by Barcelona’s street culture is coming to Prague. Groovy Market Fest will take place on 1 August 2026 in Riegrovy sady, turning the park into a one-day urban market focused on food, design and music. The concept is built around a simple idea: slow down the pace of the city and create a space where people can spend time outdoors without a fixed programme or pressure to move between stages. The organisers describe it as a mix of market, social space and informal cultural gathering. The festival is divided into three main areas. Food Garden will bring street food concepts prepared on site, with an emphasis on simple recipes and fresh ingredients. Palm Street will focus on bakery products, small food producers and craft brands working with local and regional ingredients. The Design Zone will present independent designers, fashion labels and small creative studios with a focus on original production. Music will run throughout the day with DJs and a curated programme designed to support the atmosphere rather than dominate it. A signature drink prepared on site will also be part of the experience. According to co-founder Marek Novák, the goal is not to replicate...

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/prague-could-near-two-million-residents-by-2050-forecasts-suggest</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Prague continues to grow steadily, with official data showing that the capital has already passed 1.4 million residents. According to the Czech Statistical Office (ČSÚ), the population of Prague stood at 1,405,551 at the end of March 2026. This figure includes 686,987 men and 718,564 women, meaning women accounted for 51.1 percent of the population. During the first three months of 2026, the city recorded a decline of 1,533 residents. At the end of 2025, the total stood slightly higher at 1,407,084. Different institutions, however, present a more complex picture of how many people actually live in the capital. The Institute for Planning and Development of the City of Prague (IPR) has previously estimated that the real number of residents, based on mobile data and long-term movement patterns, ranges between 1.1 and 1.4 million people. The difference stems largely from residence registration rules. The 2021 census counted 1,301,432 people with usual residence in Prague and 1,261,304 with permanent residence. IPR estimates that around 12 percent of people living in the city are not officially registered there, while a similar number are registered in Prague but live elsewhere. According to Matouš Hutník from IPR, this group includes mainly younger, single residents...

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/scabies-infections-surge-in-prague-during-first-half-of-the-year</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Prague has recorded a sharp rise in scabies infections this year, with public health officials urging residents to recognize the symptoms early. According to the Prague Public Health Authority, 459 people were diagnosed with scabies during the first six months of the year. That compares with 300 cases during the same period last year, marking a notable increase in infections across the Czech capital. Despite the higher numbers, health officials stress that Prague continues to have one of the country’s lowest infection rates relative to its population. One of the biggest misconceptions surrounding scabies is that it is linked to poor personal hygiene. Doctors say this is false. The condition has affected people around the world for centuries and periodically becomes more widespread, regardless of living standards or social background. “The current increase reflects the high mobility of modern society rather than individual hygiene,” said Dr. Martina Marešová, head of the anti-epidemic department at the Prague Public Health Authority, in an official statement. Can You Catch Scabies on Public Transport? As case numbers rise, many Prague residents have questioned whether trams, buses and the metro pose a risk. According to health experts, the likelihood of becoming infected during a typical...

<description><![CDATA[ Prague audiences can watch an open-air production of William Shakespeare’s The Tempest on Štvanice Island on July 17 and 18, presented by the theatre company Mad and Merry Men. Directed by Gordon L. Schmitz, the production offers a new interpretation of Shakespeare’s final play. In this version, Shakespeare himself appears as a character, stepping into the story as he writes it and briefly taking on the roles of several characters throughout the performance. Get your ticket here. The company has previously staged productions including Baron Münchhausen Between the Stars, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, A Clockwork Orange, and Murder on the Orient Express. Set on a remote island ruled by the magician Prospero, The Tempest follows a story of revenge, forgiveness and reconciliation. The production combines Shakespeare’s original text with live music and an ensemble cast, using the island setting as a natural backdrop for the performance. The costume and set designers behind Baron Münchhausen Between the Stars have also worked on The Tempest. Live music inspired by medieval traditions will accompany the performance.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by The Mad And Merry Men; Theatre Company Prague (@themadandmerrymen) The event is designed as an...

<title>Prague Enters Global Top Ten for Congress Tourism Market</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Prague has entered the top tier of global congress tourism destinations, ranking sixth worldwide in the latest ICCA index. The city attracted more than 850,000 participants last year, confirming its position among the most active hubs for international meetings and conferences. According to the International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA), only Lisbon, Barcelona and Vienna are ahead of Prague. The Czech capital hosted roughly five thousand conferences over the past year, with the majority of delegates arriving from Europe and the United States. Interest from Asia has also been growing. The strength of Prague in this segment is linked to its hotel capacity and infrastructure. Many hotels in the city combine accommodation with conference facilities, which supports large-scale events. Industry representatives also point to safety as an increasingly important factor for organisers when selecting destinations. “Prague has a relatively good network of hotels, most of which have congress facilities. Prague also deserves this by being a safe destination. This is an increasingly strong motivating factor for visitors to come,” said Václav Stárek, president of the Association of Hotels and Restaurants. Congress tourism in Prague is coordinated by the Prague Convention Bureau. Its director Roman Muška says business events help stabilise...

<title>More Than Cocktails: The Story Behind the Iconic Tretter’s Prague</title>

<description><![CDATA[ For many expats in Prague, Tretter’s is far more than a cocktail bar. Over the years, the brand has grown into a collection of venues known for their atmosphere, elegance, and long-standing place in the city’s social life. Behind the brand is Michael Tretter, one of the most recognized names in Czech hospitality. During a recent conversation, he shared the story behind Tretter’s, its philosophy, and some lesser-known details that help explain its enduring popularity. “Our goal was to create places that leave a lasting impression,” Tretter says. “We wanted our venues to feel as though they had existed for decades—even when they were brand new.” That idea of timelessness has guided the company from the beginning. From interior design and music to lighting and service, every detail is carefully considered to create a sense of character and history. One of the most remarkable parts of the Tretter’s story is the American Bar inside Prague’s Municipal House. Hidden beneath the building’s marble staircase, the venue first opened in 1912 and is considered one of the oldest cocktail bars in Europe. Its original features have largely survived, including artwork by painter Mikoláš Aleš and historical design elements linked to the era...

<title>Cult Berlin Fast Food Chain Burgermeister to Open in Prague</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/cult-berlin-fast-food-chain-burgermeister-to-open-in-prague</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Following its success across Germany and Poland, the Berlin-based burger chain plans to enter the Czech market, with its first location expected to open in Prague either later this autumn or in early 2027. The story of Burgermeister is often described as a textbook Berlin success story. What began as a small stand in a disused public toilet booth under the U-Bahn tracks at Schlesisches Tor has grown into a franchise widely regarded as serving some of the city’s best burgers. Today, the company operates more than 30 locations and continues to expand. After growing across Berlin and Germany, Burgermeister recently entered Poland, opening in Szczecin and later in Łódź, with additional Polish cities planned. The next step is the Czech Republic, where the first Prague branch is expected as part of the company’s broader European expansion. The company’s long-term plan envisions up to 20 locations across the country.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Burgermeister (@burgermeister.official) Beyond Poland and Czechia, Burgermeister is also eyeing further international expansion, including the UK, Spain, and Scandinavia. Despite this growth, the concept remains unchanged, with production continuing centrally and no adjustments made to local preferences. “Every burger should...

<title>Cheers to Prague: Two Venues Named Among Europe’s 50 Best Bars</title>
<link>https://pragueexaminer.com/cheers-to-prague-two-venues-named-among-europes-50-best-bars</link>
<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/cheers-to-prague-two-venues-named-among-europes-50-best-bars</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The Czech cocktail scene has earned international recognition after Forbína and Alma were both included in the inaugural Europe’s 50 Best Bars ranking. The prestigious list places Forbína at No. 38 and Alma at No. 25, making them the only Czech venues to appear among the continent’s top 50 bars. The first-ever Europe-focused edition of the World’s 50 Best Bars ranking was unveiled during a ceremony in Amsterdam on June 30. The list was compiled by more than 300 bartenders, bar owners, journalists, and hospitality experts, who evaluated venues based on cocktail quality, creativity, service, atmosphere, and the overall guest experience. Forbína, located opposite Prague’s National Theatre, achieved the recognition less than two years after opening its doors. The bar’s concept blends cocktails with theatrical storytelling, drawing inspiration from famous playwrights, classic stage productions, and the world of theatre itself. Each drink comes with a story that bartenders share with guests, creating an experience that goes beyond the cocktail. Located on V Jirchářích Street, Alma has built an international reputation under bar manager Pavel Sochor, whose team regularly hosts guest shifts featuring some of the world’s leading bartenders. The venue has become known not only for its cocktail menu but...

<title>More Than 120000 German Job Cuts Put Pressure on Czech Industrial Sector</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Germany’s industrial slowdown is beginning to affect Czech factories, exposing how closely the two economies remain linked through supply chains, particularly in automotive and machinery production. According to consultancy EY, more than 120,000 jobs were cut in German industry in 2025, almost twice as many as a year earlier. The decline reflects weaker output, falling revenues and reduced confidence among German companies. EY analyst Jan Brorkhilker said German industry is facing a deep downturn, with companies adjusting production and staffing in response to weaker demand. Business associations in Germany, as reported by Reuters, expect further pressure on the labour market in 2026 as the economic slowdown continues. German manufacturers are dealing with several overlapping problems. Energy costs remain high after the European energy crisis, global demand has weakened, and companies face rising regulatory and transformation costs linked to decarbonisation and digitalisation. These factors are now feeding into hiring decisions. Surveys among German industry groups show that most companies expect further workforce reductions next year, while only a small share plan to expand. Radek Špikar from the Czech Confederation of Industry and Transport said the situation in Germany is a concern for Czech exporters. “We hope Germany will find a new...

<description><![CDATA[ The Czech retail market welcomed 16 new international brands in the first half of 2026, according to a report by Cushman &amp; Wakefield. Fourteen of the brands opened their first Czech locations in Prague, while one launched in Ostrava and another in Pardubice. The food and beverage sector remained the strongest driver of expansion, accounting for seven new brands. One of the most high-profile openings was BOSS Café, which launched on Prague’s Na Příkopě Street next to the BOSS flagship store. The café concept currently exists in only a handful of cities worldwide, including London and Bangkok. Other newcomers included Slovak café Choco Boss, Ukrainian supermarket Best Market, Canadian confectionery Choco Choo, Italian sports nutrition retailer Volchem, German restaurant Home of Dumplings, and YO! Sushi, which opened its first Czech branch in Prague after its parent company entered the market last year with Sushi Circle. Fashion was the second most active category, with four new brands entering the market. Romanian accessories label Alisa Enco opened at the Mandarin Oriental Prague, while American fashion brand Kenneth Cole chose Westfield Chodov for its first Czech store. German menswear brand Digel debuted at Fashion Arena Prague Outlet, and Italian luxury label Ermanno Scervino...

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/italy-becomes-top-destination-from-prague-airport-as-traffic-increases</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Prague’s Václav Havel Airport handled 1,579,301 passengers in May, marking a 5.22 percent increase compared with the same month last year. From the beginning of the year until the end of May, total passenger numbers reached 6,526,218, representing a 7.54 percent year-on-year increase. One of the most notable changes in May was in country rankings. Italy became the most popular destination, narrowly surpassing the United Kingdom. A total of 177,925 passengers flew to Italy, compared with 177,764 to the UK, a difference of just 161 travellers. Spain followed with 155,388 passengers, then France with 106,849. Turkey, Germany and the Netherlands also remained among the most frequently chosen destinations. London remains the busiest city route Despite the country-level shift, London stayed the single most popular destination overall, with 115,178 passengers travelling from Prague. Paris followed with 73,576 passengers, while Istanbul recorded 63,394 travellers. Other major city routes included Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Milan, Copenhagen, Rome and Barcelona, confirming the strong concentration of demand in major European hubs. Outlook for the year In 2024, Václav Havel Airport handled more than 17.75 million passengers, approaching the pre-pandemic record of 17.8 million set in 2019. For this year, the airport aims to reach 18.9 million passengers,...

<title>Hidden in a Forest, This Is Prague’s Oldest Observation Tower</title>
<link>https://pragueexaminer.com/hidden-in-a-forest-this-is-pragues-oldest-observation-tower</link>
<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/hidden-in-a-forest-this-is-pragues-oldest-observation-tower</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ For many visitors, Petřín Hill is the obvious destination for panoramic views over Prague. Yet the city’s oldest observation tower stands in a completely different location. Hidden among the trees of Cibulka Forest Park in Prague’s Košíře district, this little-known landmark offers a quiet alternative to the capital’s busiest tourist attractions—and visiting it costs nothing. Built in 1820, the stone tower predates the famous Petřín Lookout Tower by decades. It formed part of a romantic English-style landscape park commissioned by Leopold Thun-Hohenstein, the Bishop of Passau, as part of the Cibulka estate. Designed as a place for leisure rather than spectacle, the park reflected the 19th-century fashion for picturesque gardens filled with architectural features and hidden corners. Unlike Petřín’s towering structure, the Cibulka observation tower rises only 13 meters above the ground. Its modest height means the viewing platform sits just above the surrounding treetops rather than soaring above the city skyline. Visitors climb a narrow spiral staircase before reaching views over Košíře, Motol, and parts of western Prague. Despite lying only a short walk from the busy Plzeňská Street, the forest park feels surprisingly peaceful. The absence of crowds makes it easy to enjoy the surroundings, whether for a...

<title>Smog Alert Issued for Prague as Ozone Pollution Reaches Dangerous Levels</title>
<link>https://pragueexaminer.com/smog-alert-issued-for-prague-as-ozone-pollution-reaches-dangerous-levels</link>
<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/smog-alert-issued-for-prague-as-ozone-pollution-reaches-dangerous-levels</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A smog alert was issued for Prague and the Central Bohemian Region after ozone levels exceeded safe limits. The warning, issued by the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute (ČHMÚ), remains in effect until further notice. It comes as the country continues to experience exceptionally hot weather, which has created ideal conditions for ozone formation. According to meteorologists, the alert was declared after monitoring stations recorded hourly average ozone concentrations above the information threshold of 180 micrograms per cubic meter. Forecasters expect similar levels to continue at some measuring stations, meaning the health warning is likely to remain in place. Ground-level ozone is not emitted directly into the atmosphere. Instead, it forms when pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons react under strong sunlight. Heatwaves often accelerate this process, leading to higher concentrations, particularly during the afternoon. Health officials advise people to avoid intense physical activity outdoors while ozone levels remain elevated. The recommendation is especially important for children, older adults, and people living with chronic respiratory illnesses, who are more vulnerable to air pollution. Exposure to high levels of ozone can irritate the lungs and mucous membranes. Common symptoms include coughing, burning eyes or nose, headaches, and a feeling of pressure in...

<title>Extreme Heat and Holiday Schedule Slow Down Prague Public Transport System</title>
<link>https://pragueexaminer.com/extreme-heat-and-holiday-schedule-slow-down-prague-public-transport-system</link>
<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/extreme-heat-and-holiday-schedule-slow-down-prague-public-transport-system</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Public transport in Prague is moving more slowly as high temperatures and a seasonal timetable combine to affect operations across the network. The Prague Integrated Transport system introduced widespread tram speed reductions over the weekend in response to record heat. The measures affect the entire city network. According to transport authorities, extreme temperatures cause overhead lines to expand and sag, which limits safe operating speeds. In some underpasses, trams are restricted to around 10 km/h. Across the wider network, the general limit has been reduced to 40 km/h as a precaution linked to track tension and safety conditions. Prague Public Transport Company spokesperson Daniel Šabík confirmed that the measures continue across the network. He said the reduced speed applies citywide, with even lower limits in underpasses and at selected crossings. Transport operators have also pointed to passenger comfort during hot weather, recommending metro travel where possible. In a public message, Prague Integrated Transport noted that underground lines remain less affected by heat, as they are shielded from temperature-related technical issues affecting surface transport. Alongside the heat-related restrictions, a summer timetable has been introduced. This results in longer intervals between services across trams, buses and metro lines. The seasonal schedule typically...

<description><![CDATA[ The Czech Republic already fulfils nearly all economic conditions required to adopt the euro, according to a new Convergence Report published by the European Commission. The report suggests that the remaining obstacles are no longer economic, but political and institutional. The report evaluates EU member states outside the euro area on their readiness to join the single currency. After Bulgaria joined the eurozone this year, 21 EU countries now use the euro. Denmark remains outside due to an opt-out agreement. The assessment therefore focuses on five countries: the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Romania and Sweden. The Czech Republic stands out among them. The Commission concludes that it meets three of the four main economic convergence criteria, placing it among the most prepared countries alongside Sweden. Inflation, debt and interest rates within limits Inflation has returned below the reference threshold after several years above target. In May, the annual average fell to 1.9%, below the benchmark level of 2.7%. The Commission expects it to remain within the required range through 2027. Public finances also comply with Maastricht rules. The general government deficit stood at 2.1% of GDP in 2025, while public debt reached 44.3% of GDP. Both figures remain below the...

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/metro-d-moves-ahead-with-design-contest-for-pisnice-and-pankrac</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Prague’s Metro D project is entering another phase, with the city’s transport authority preparing to launch architectural and artistic competitions for two future stations. The Prague Public Transit Company (DPP) expects to announce the competitions in September, according to Deputy Mayor Jaromír Beránek, who oversees transport. One competition will focus on the complete interior design of the future Písnice station, while another will commission a major artwork for the Pankrác station. Officials held an introductory meeting for both competitions this week. The winning proposals are expected to be selected before the end of the year. For Písnice, DPP plans to organize an open competition that could attract architects and designers from abroad. The goal is to create the station’s overall interior appearance. In contrast, the competition for Pankrác will be more limited, with five invited artists competing to design a single artistic feature for the station. The city has already used similar competitions to shape several Metro D stations. Designs have previously been selected for Libuš, Pankrác D, Olbrachtova, Nádraží Krč, Nemocnice Krč, and Nové Dvory. After the Písnice competition is completed, DPP also plans to select designs for Náměstí Míru, Depo Písnice, and Náměstí Bratří Synků. Before work begins...

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/canadian-singer-garou-returns-to-prague-for-one-night-concert</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Canadian singer Garou will perform in Prague on 2 October 2026 at the Prague Congress Centre as part of his European “Best of” tour. The show marks his return to the city after a sold-out concert in 2023 and will feature a full big band arrangement combining his most popular songs with newer material. Garou remains one of the most recognisable voices in French-language music over the past two decades. Known for his rough, expressive tone and strong stage presence, he first reached international fame at the end of the 1990s and has maintained a loyal audience across Europe and Canada. Tickets are available via Ticketportal.cz Born Pierre Garand in Sherbrooke, Quebec, he grew up in Canada and studied music from an early age. Before his breakthrough, he performed in bars and small venues, building his reputation through live shows. His career changed in 1997 when he was cast by lyricist Luc Plamondon as Quasimodo in the musical Notre-Dame de Paris. The role brought him instant international attention and led directly to his solo career. His debut album Seul, released in 2000, became one of the most successful French-language records of its time. It was followed by a series of...

<title>Prague Has 756 Cars for Every 1,000 Residents and the Number Is Still Rising</title>

<description><![CDATA[ With roughly one million on-street parking spaces serving a city of 1.4 million people, streets in many neighborhoods increasingly resemble open-air parking lots. Experts say the problem is not driven by a single factor but by a combination of population growth, suburban expansion, changing lifestyles and decades of planning decisions. The Czech capital now has 756 registered passenger cars for every 1,000 residents. Thirty years ago, there were around 300 fewer vehicles per 1,000 inhabitants. While the number of registered cars briefly declined after reaching a peak in 2021, it has been climbing again ever since. Hundreds of Thousands Enter Prague Every Day Although Prague officially has around 1.4 million residents, its transport network serves far more people than that. According to anonymized and aggregated mobility data provided by O2 Dataclair, about 460,000 additional people travel into Prague on a typical busy weekday. In practical terms, the city’s daytime population grows by roughly one-third every working day. The data includes all forms of transport, but the additional demand also places heavy pressure on Prague’s road network. Planning Rules Encourage More Driving The city still applies minimum parking requirements for new developments. Residential projects generally must provide at least one parking...

Meteorologists say that a tropical night is recorded when the temperature does not fall below 20 degrees Celsius. On Saturday night, this threshold was reached at roughly one fifth of all measuring stations across the country. According to data from the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute (ČHMÚ), the phenomenon was observed nationwide, affecting lowland areas, higher elevations and even some mountainous locations, as well as major cities. In Prague, the warmest conditions were recorded in the city centre. At the Praha-Klementinum station, the temperature stayed above 23.7 degrees Celsius throughout the night, the ČHMÚ reported on Facebook. While the current conditions are notable, the highest recorded nighttime temperature in Czech history dates back to 8 August 2013 in Bystřice pod Hostýnem, where 27.2 degrees Celsius was measured. Forecasts suggest that warm nights will continue. On Sunday night, temperatures are expected to remain between 18 and 23 degrees Celsius, with little cooling after sunset. Meteorologists also warn that Monday could bring the highest concentration of tropical nights, as a partly cloudy sky associated...

<title>Prague Set for a Busy Summer With 1.6 Million Visitors Expected</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/prague-set-for-a-busy-summer-with-16-million-visitors-expected</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Prague is preparing for another busy summer, with around 1.6 million visitors expected to arrive during July and August, according to estimates from Prague City Tourism (PCT). The figure represents an increase of roughly five percent compared with the same period last year, when approximately 1.5 million people visited the Czech capital. The latest outlook suggests that the city’s tourism sector will continue its steady recovery, supported by strong demand from both domestic and international travelers. The forecast is supported by figures from STR, the international hotel market data provider. During the first five months of the year, Prague hotels recorded an average occupancy rate of 71.6 percent, up 5.3 percent from a year earlier. Hotel prices have also continued to climb. The average room rate reached €120.55 per night, an annual increase of 7.7 percent. According to Prague City Tourism, the Czech capital is currently seeing faster growth in hotel performance than neighboring Vienna. Luxury accommodation has experienced even stronger demand. Occupancy in Prague’s high-end hotels increased by around seven percent year-on-year, while the average nightly room rate rose by €11, reaching €209. City officials view the trend as evidence that Prague is increasingly attracting higher-spending visitors. In recent...

<description><![CDATA[ Starting this winter, travelers flying from Prague will have two more direct destinations to choose from as Smartwings adds regular services to Bergen in Norway and Venice in Italy. The airline announced that the new connections will become part of its 2026/2027 winter schedule, with flights to Venice beginning on October 22 and the Bergen route launching on October 26. Passengers heading to Venice will be able to fly four times a week, with departures scheduled on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays. The route is expected to appeal to both weekend travelers and tourists visiting one of Italy’s most popular cities. A few days later, Smartwings will introduce direct flights to Bergen, Norway’s second-largest city and one of the main gateways to the country’s famous fjords. The route will operate twice a week, on Mondays and Fridays, providing Czech travelers with a direct link to western Norway without the need for connecting flights. According to Michal Váňa, Sales Director at Smartwings, expanding the airline’s regular network remains a long-term priority. “We continue to strengthen Prague’s air connections with attractive European destinations. Bergen and Venice rank among the most popular tourist locations, and we believe these direct flights will be welcomed...

<title>Expats Next Door: The Two Brothers Behind Bamico</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/expats-next-door-the-two-brothers-behind-bamico</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A taste of Vietnamese childhood and family tradition finds a new home in Prague. For the brothers behind Bamico, opening a Vietnamese sandwich shop was never simply about food. It was about identity and bringing a piece of home to the city they love. “We are two brothers, and the idea for Bamico was born out of pure exhaustion and nostalgia,” they explain. Growing up in the Czech Republic, they watched their parents dedicate their lives to entrepreneurship, often sacrificing family time in pursuit of building a better future. “We watched our parents work 16-hour days with almost no weekends,” they explain. “Bamico was born out of respect for their work ethic, but also from a desire to build something of our own.” Years later, after spending time abroad, the brothers found themselves experiencing a different kind of challenge. “When we lived abroad, we experienced a deep sense of isolation and homesickness,” they recall. Missing the flavors and atmosphere of their childhood, they began searching for a way to reconnect with their roots. The result was Bamico. At the center of Bamico’s concept is bánh mì, Vietnam’s iconic sandwich and one of the country’s most beloved street foods. For the...

<description><![CDATA[ Illusion Art Museum Prague (IAM Prague) hosted a vernissage on Wednesday, June 24, unveiling new works by South African artist Jonty Hurwitz, Berlin-based kinetic artist Florian Goerlitz, and Slovak digital artist Andrej Boleslavský. The new additions expand the museum’s collection of contemporary illusion, kinetic, and interactive art. Hurwitz presents two mirror anamorphoses, Echo and Rejuvenation in Bronze, inviting viewers to experience how form, reflection, and perspective can transform what we see. Goerlitz presents Infinity, a kinetic work that brings movement and mechanical precision into the museum’s growing collection of contemporary illusion art. Boleslavský contributes the digital artwork Liquid Mirror, which explores the relationship between image, movement, and perception through a responsive digital surface, where many moments coexist, sliding against one another.   Since 2018, IAM Prague has become one of the city’s most distinctive interactive art attractions, combining visual illusion, Czech history, playful storytelling, and participatory installations. The museum recently received the Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice Award for the fifth consecutive year, reflecting consistently strong visitor feedback. The new works mark another step in the museum’s broader ambition: to operate not only as a visitor attraction, but as an active cultural venue that supports artists, hosts events, and creates new reasons...

<title>World Cup is Over: Czechia Eliminated After 3–0 Loss to Mexico</title>

<description><![CDATA[ The Czech Republic have been eliminated from the FIFA World Cup after losing 3–0 to hosts Mexico in their final Group A match in Mexico City. The Czechs finished bottom of the group with one point from three matches, having previously lost to South Korea and drawn with South Africa. Miroslav Koubek’s side started brightly and looked the more dangerous team for much of the opening half hour, with Denis Višinský and Michal Sadílek both going close. However, Mexico grew into the game before the break and took full control after halftime. Mateo Chávez opened the scoring in the 60th minute following a rapid counterattack, before Julián Quiñones doubled the lead six minutes later after a defensive mistake. Álvaro Fidalgo added a third in stoppage time to seal Mexico’s third consecutive group-stage victory. The result sends Mexico into the knockout rounds with a perfect record, while Czechia’s tournament ends at the group stage after a disappointing campaign that produced only a single point and no wins. A two-decade wait that ended too soon The Czech Republic hadn’t appeared at a World Cup since 2006, their first as an independent nation following the 1993 split of Czechoslovakia. That 2006 campaign in...

<title>Holiday Costs Rise: Croatia No Longer the Cheap Seaside Option for Czechs</title>
<link>https://pragueexaminer.com/holiday-costs-rise-croatia-no-longer-the-cheap-seaside-option-for-czechs</link>
<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/holiday-costs-rise-croatia-no-longer-the-cheap-seaside-option-for-czechs</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Cheap last-minute packages to the seaside are still available for Czech travellers, but the range of options is narrowing quickly. As temperatures in Czechia climb above 30 degrees Celsius, many people are deciding whether to wait for last-minute offers or secure their summer trip early. Current market data shows that discounted deals have not disappeared, but they are increasingly limited in scope and availability. Travellers who are open to changing destinations or departure dates can still reach Mediterranean beaches at relatively low cost. Those who insist on a particular resort, hotel standard or exact timing are facing a much smaller selection and higher prices. In the final weeks of June, some of the cheapest week-long packages to Bulgaria, Turkey or Greek islands can still be found at around 9,000 to 11,000 CZK per person. However, travel operators say these offers are no longer typical and are becoming exceptions rather than the rule. More common are all-inclusive stays in well-rated hotels, which during peak season are priced between 18,000 and 26,000 CZK per person. In many cases, the difference between budget offers and standard packages now exceeds 10,000 CZK per traveller. The pressure on household budgets is also shifting travel behaviour....

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/prague-public-transport-switches-to-holiday-schedule-this-weekend</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Prague’s public transport network will move to its annual summer schedule this Saturday, bringing longer waiting times on metro, tram and bus services. The seasonal timetable will remain in place until August 28, after which regular service frequencies will return across the city. Metro services will continue running throughout the summer but with reduced frequency during weekday rush hours. Passengers on Line A will see trains arriving 60 to 75 seconds less often than during the regular schedule. On Line B, intervals will increase by 40 to 60 seconds, while Line C services will be spaced 20 to 35 seconds further apart, depending on the time of day. At midday, trains on all three metro lines will operate every five minutes. Weekend services will generally run at intervals of seven and a half minutes. Tram passengers will also notice changes. Most routes will operate every ten minutes during weekday peak periods and every 12 minutes around midday. The city’s busiest tram corridors, including lines 9, 17 and 22, will continue running at roughly twice that frequency. Bus services will follow adjusted summer schedules as well, with longer intervals on weekdays and selected weekend routes. School bus services will be suspended...

<title>New Prague Tram 52T Earns Global Design Prize</title>
<link>https://pragueexaminer.com/new-prague-tram-52t-earns-global-design-prize</link>
<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/new-prague-tram-52t-earns-global-design-prize</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The new Prague tram Škoda 52T has received the Red Dot Award for product design, an international distinction that highlights strong industrial and user-focused design in global manufacturing. The jury evaluated the vehicle’s visual design, functionality and passenger comfort. Škoda Group developed the tram through its internal design team, creating a model tailored specifically for Prague’s public transport system. The aim was to combine a modern visual identity with the practical demands of daily city operation. Particular attention was given to the interior layout, passenger visibility and the distinctive front section of the vehicle, which defines its overall appearance in urban traffic. The design was developed with a focus on usability in dense city conditions. According to the company, the balance between engineering solutions and passenger experience played a key role in the award decision. Tomáš Chludil, head of industrial design at Škoda Group, said the project aimed to merge comfort, safety and visual clarity in a single transport solution, while maintaining a clear identity for the vehicle within the city network. The tram measures nearly 32 metres in length and offers 70 seats. It can carry more than 240 passengers and features a fully low-floor design for easier boarding....

<title>From Local Café to Miss Universe 2026: The Story of Hues Kafe in Prague</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Less than a year after opening its doors in Prague, Hues Kafe achieved a milestone few young independent cafés can claim. The café was selected as an official catering partner for Miss Universe 2026 in Prague, successfully serving approximately 300 guests, including around 200 adults and 100 children. For founder Sameer Shaikh, the moment felt surreal. “When we received the opportunity, we had only two days to prepare. It was a huge responsibility, but also a proud moment for our entire team.” Located in the heart of Prague, Hues Kafe has quickly built a reputation for its colorful presentation, specialty coffee, and unique Indian-European brunch concept. Unlike many cafés that rely on pre-prepared food, dishes at Hues Kafe are made fresh to order, combining flavors from different cultures while maintaining a focus on lighter, oil-free cooking. One of the café’s distinguishing features is its coffee program. Sameer personally sources and develops unique blends, including combinations of Indian, Brazilian, and Colombian beans. His goal is not only to serve quality coffee but also to introduce more people to Indian coffee, which remains relatively unknown compared to many Latin American varieties. The café itself was built entirely through personal savings accumulated during...

<title>West&#45;Level Prices, Czech&#45;Level Pay. The Gap Is Becoming Harder to Ignore</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Housing and food prices in the Czech Republic are nearing Western European levels, while salaries continue to lag. New data published by Eurostat highlight a growing imbalance in the Czech economy. While average price levels remain below those in much of Western Europe, some of the most important expenses facing households have nearly caught up with richer countries. Overall, prices in the Czech Republic stand at 89.4 percent of the European Union average. That remains lower than Germany, where prices reach 108.3 percent of the EU average, and Austria at 113 percent. However, the broader figure masks substantial differences between sectors that directly affect everyday life. Housing is the clearest example. The cost of housing, energy, and related household services in the Czech Republic has reached 107.1 percent of the EU average. Germany records 113.9 percent and Austria 113.4 percent, leaving only a relatively small gap between Czech households and those in Western Europe. The contrast with neighboring countries to the east is striking. Housing-related costs amount to just 52.2 percent of the EU average in Poland and 80.4 percent in Slovakia. This means Czech residents now face housing expenses that are far closer to German levels than to those...

<description><![CDATA[ The latest escalation between the two political opponents has ended up in the country’s constitutional court, which is expected to take up the matter on Wednesday. Czech President Petr Pavel on Tuesday said that he had filed a lawsuit against the government, challenging Prime Minister Andrej Babiš’s decision to not include him in the government delegation attending the NATO summit in Ankara in July. The competency suit, which was lodged with Czechia’s Constitutional Court, asks for clarity on who has the authority to decide whether the head of state may attend the NATO summit. The court is due to take up the matter during its plenary session on Wednesday. In a statement, Pavel argued Babiš was trying to “exclude” him from the summit, and thus “limiting the role granted to him by the Constitution.” The president pointed out that his predecessors had attended all previous NATO summits, and that he had been present at every one of the alliance’s gatherings since he took office in 2023. After months of contention over who would represent Prague in Ankara, Babiš on Monday announced the head of state could not join the official delegation because “this summit will be different from previous ones.”...

<description><![CDATA[ The Czech Republic has taken a major step toward joining Europe’s growing artificial intelligence infrastructure network after the government approved support for a bid to host a European AI Gigafactory. At its meeting on Monday, the cabinet authorized the Ministry of Industry and Trade to sign a joint procurement agreement with the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking, opening the door for Czech partners to compete for one of the EU’s flagship AI projects. The planned AI Gigafactories are intended to provide Europe with powerful computing infrastructure capable of developing, training and operating advanced artificial intelligence models. The facilities would serve as large-scale AI data centers, helping reduce Europe’s dependence on technology and computing resources from outside the continent. Under the proposed model, construction of the Czech facility would be financed by private investors. The state would not directly fund the project but would commit to using part of the computing capacity if the Czech bid is selected. According to the government, this would give public institutions and domestic organizations access to advanced computing resources under favorable financial conditions. Officials argue that hosting an AI Gigafactory could bring benefits beyond technology development. The project could attract substantial private investment, create opportunities for research...

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/lidl-launches-summer-terrace-at-pragues-stromovka-park</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Lidl Czech Republic has launched a seasonal outdoor terrace at the Prague Exhibition Grounds in Stromovka, introducing a new concept that combines food, drinks and community events in one location. The temporary venue is situated next to the park’s public grilling area, allowing visitors to purchase ingredients on-site and prepare them at nearby grill stations. The terrace offers a selection of Lidl’s private-label products commonly found in its stores. Visitors can buy snacks, ice cream and barbecue ingredients directly at the venue. Draft Argus beer and non-alcoholic radlers are also available. Customers using the Lidl Plus mobile application can access discounted prices. A small draft beer costs 15 CZK through the app, while a half-liter beer is available for 25 CZK. Lidl said the beer-serving area is clearly marked as restricted to adults, with staff checking identification documents when necessary. A dedicated Bellarom Café section has also been created within the terrace. The café serves espresso, cappuccino, iced coffee and other coffee drinks. Lidl Plus users can take advantage of lower prices on selected beverages. The menu also includes lemonades, iced tea, prosecco and additional refreshments. The company plans to host a range of activities throughout the summer. The program...

<title>From Wenceslas Square to Žižkov: Prague’s Biggest Urban Projects Take Shape</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Across the city, major projects are underway or in the pipeline that promise to make the Czech capital a better place to live. Tram to Wenceslas Square Where else is better to start than Wenceslas Square. It’s laid out by Charles IV in the 14th century, witness to countless historical events, and today a hub of tourism and commerce with some 1,600 companies and hundreds of shops, hotels, and restaurants. Right now, it looks like a construction zone. The reason: a new tram line that will transform both the square and public transport across the city. Along with the tracks, the public space will be restored with new greenery, benches, and a retention tank already built underground to capture rainwater for the newly planted trees. Metro exits will also be redesigned, and the upper part of the square will connect with the lower part, which was already reconstructed in 2023 with new paving, benches, and a fountain designed by Jakub Cigler’s studio. The new line aims to relieve pressure on the congested city center and offer a redundant route when disruptions hit I. P. Pavlova or Ječná Street. It will also provide a missing link to Vinohrady. The New Savarin...

<title>Meet Douglas Kaufman – The Mind Behind Prague’s Board Game Café</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/meet-douglas-kaufman-the-mind-behind-pragues-board-game-cafe</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ With two locations now running in Prague, including its newer space in Palmovka, Bohemia Boards &amp; Brews is entering a new phase focused less on expansion and more on building its role as a social hub. This summer, the board game café is placing renewed focus on both venues and the role they play in the city’s social life. We spoke with founder Douglas Kaufman about how the concept has evolved and why it still resonates today. Bohemia Boards &amp; Brews combines a café, bar, and a library of hundreds of board games, built around the idea of a shared “third place” — somewhere outside home and work where people can meet and spend time together. “The concept of the board game café was just catching on in the US and Canada, spearheaded by Snakes &amp; Lattes in Toronto,” Kaufman says. “It offered a place with a cool vibe and friendly atmosphere, serving food and drinks while giving people a space to play games.” Before this model existed in Prague, he recalls, options were limited and often improvised. “If you wanted to play games and didn’t want to go to someone’s house, you either went to a pub with your...

<title>Hungry for Answers? New Platform Lets Users Vote for Prague’s Best Dishes</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Most restaurant guides try to answer the same question: which restaurant is the best? A new Prague-based project called Voutie is taking a different approach. Instead of ranking restaurants as a whole, it focuses on something much more specific: individual dishes. The idea began with a simple conversation at home. One evening, the founder’s wife was craving sushi and asked a familiar question: where can you get really good sushi in Prague? “It made me realize how often I was asking the same thing myself,” the founder says. Whether it is sushi, pizza, kebab, burgers or lasagne, many people are not necessarily looking for the city’s best restaurant overall. They just want to know where to find the best version of the food they feel like eating that day. The concept is straightforward. Each registered user receives one vote per category and can assign it to the restaurant they believe serves the best version of that particular dish. If they later discover a place they like more, they can move their vote. One of the best things about Voutie is that every place on the platform is there because it is someone’s favourite for a specific dish. The goal is...

<title>Prague Approves Return of Radecký Statue to Malostranské náměstí</title>
<link>https://pragueexaminer.com/prague-approves-return-of-radecky-statue-to-malostranske-namesti</link>
<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/prague-approves-return-of-radecky-statue-to-malostranske-namesti</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A monument removed from Prague’s streets more than a century ago could soon return to one of the city’s most historic squares. Prague city councilors have approved plans to bring back the statue of Austrian field marshal Josef Václav Radecký of Radč to Malostranské náměstí in the Lesser Town. The decision also authorizes the city to ask the Ministry of Culture to release the original sculpture, which is currently housed in the Lapidarium of the National Museum. The monument stood in the square from 1858 until 1919, when the newly established Czechoslovak state removed symbols associated with the Habsburg monarchy. Following its dismantling, the statue was transferred to museum storage, while the pedestal was later removed as well. The return project has been discussed for years, supported by the Radecký Society and officials from Prague 1. City representatives now hope the monument can become part of the long-planned redevelopment of Malostranské náměstí, although a completion date for the reconstruction has not yet been announced. Costs are expected to range between 15 million and 30 million Czech crowns. The final amount will depend largely on whether the Ministry of Culture agrees to provide the original artwork. If not, a replica would...

<title>From Seven Hours to 60 Minutes: New Flights Between Prague and the Tatras</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/from-seven-hours-to-60-minutes-new-flights-between-prague-and-the-tatras</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Travel between Prague and the Tatras region in Slovakia will soon be quicker, as a popular low-cost airline is launching a new route connecting the Czech capital with Poprad in northeastern Slovakia. Until now, the only way to travel between these two destinations was by train or coach. Currently, the only air link between Slovakia and Prague has been from Košice Airport, with daily Ryanair flights. Wizz Air plans to launch the new service in late October, with departures on Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. The flight will take about one hour, making it much faster than the seven-hour train ride or the even longer bus journey. Many people from eastern Slovakia work or study in Prague. Starting in October, they will be able to make the trip for €24.99. With eastern Slovakia now gaining another direct air connection to Prague, people are wondering when a similar route will open between Prague and the Slovak capital. Ryanair recently said they are open to this idea, but need to analyse the data first. The last direct flight between the two capitals operated in 2019. At present, travellers from both Prague and Bratislava can use the flights between the Austrian capital and Prague....

<title>How This School in Prague Rethinks Kindergarten Through Nature and Movement</title>
<link>https://pragueexaminer.com/how-this-school-in-prague-rethinks-kindergarten-through-nature-and-movement</link>
<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/how-this-school-in-prague-rethinks-kindergarten-through-nature-and-movement</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ With its setting on the edge of Klánovický Forest in Prague-East, Unicorn School has developed a private kindergarten environment where early education is closely tied to nature, movement and individual attention. Housed in a family villa with a garden, playground and heated swimming pool, the facility brings together structured preschool learning and a day-to-day rhythm shaped by outdoor experience. The kindergarten and children’s group focus on small learning communities, where children are guided according to their own pace of development rather than a uniform classroom model. Teachers with long-term experience in early childhood education work with an emphasis on stability, trust and close cooperation with parents. A significant part of the programme takes place outside. The proximity of the forest allows for frequent walks, outdoor activities and seasonal learning, which are integrated into the daily schedule rather than treated as occasional excursions. The approach reflects elements of forest kindergarten practice, where direct contact with nature is considered part of the learning process. Inside, Unicorn School combines several educational frameworks. Montessori-inspired principles are used alongside Free Flow Learning and the Good Start Method®. Development is monitored through iSophi® diagnostics, which help adjust activities to individual needs. Early numeracy is introduced through...

<description><![CDATA[ Summer in Prague is traditionally a time for festivals, open-air events, and nightlife venues, all of which attract visitors with special programs. Among them is Roxy, which is kicking off the new season with an expanded lineup of events, new production elements, and confirmed acts for the fall season. The club on Dlouhá Street has been shaping the city’s electronic music scene since 1992, and earlier this year it received the Bass Award for best club in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. This summer, the venue is entering the warmer months with a packed schedule designed for regulars and newcomers alike. Three recurring nights form the backbone of the program. Mainstage Party and Techno Night take over Fridays and Saturdays, while DNB Wednights, held every other Wednesday, bring drum and bass enthusiasts together in the middle of the week. DNB Wednights start at 8 p.m., while the club’s regular Friday and Saturday events begin at 11 p.m. Alongside its regular program, Roxy is preparing a series of themed nights that push the energy even further. Techno [Rave] and Hard Dance editions promise a heavier soundtrack and a different atmosphere for those looking for something beyond the club’s standard format. Music...

<title>EU Plans to Extend Free Roaming to Six More Balkan Countries</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/eu-plans-to-extend-free-roaming-to-six-more-balkan-countries</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Travelers heading to the Western Balkans could eventually use their phones without worrying about extra roaming charges, as the European Union moves forward with plans to expand its roaming zone beyond its current borders. The European Commission is working on a proposal that would bring six Western Balkan countries — Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia — under the same roaming framework currently used across EU member states and participating European countries. If the plan is approved, residents and visitors would be able to make calls, send text messages and use mobile data in those countries under conditions similar to those they already enjoy throughout much of Europe. The process, however, is still at an early stage. While the Commission has expressed support for the expansion, the proposal must first receive approval from EU member states before negotiations can begin. Earlier this year, the Commission asked the Council of the European Union for authorization to open formal talks with the six Western Balkan partners. Once approved, separate agreements would need to be negotiated with each country. According to the Commission, successful negotiations would create the legal framework necessary for the Western Balkans to join the EU...

<title>Coca&#45;Cola Celebrates 55 Years in Czechia with Record Production Levels</title>
<link>https://pragueexaminer.com/coca-cola-celebrates-55-years-in-czechia-with-record-production-levels</link>
<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/coca-cola-celebrates-55-years-in-czechia-with-record-production-levels</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Coca-Cola is marking a major milestone in Czechia this year. The company has been producing its beverages locally for 55 years, growing from a niche product available only to a select few during the communist era into one of the country’s most widely consumed drinks. According to company figures, Coca-Cola’s Czech facilities produced 415.9 million liters of beverages in 2025 alone. When licensed production first began in the country in 1971, annual output stood at around 18.4 million liters. The story of Coca-Cola in Czechia began before local manufacturing existed. Many Czechs first encountered the drink at the end of World War II through American soldiers stationed in Europe. During the communist period, however, access remained limited. Bottles were mainly sold through Tuzex stores, which specialized in foreign goods, or in hotels catering to foreign visitors. A turning point came in 1971, when licensed production using the original Coca-Cola concentrate was launched in Modřice, near Brno. That move established the foundations for what would eventually become one of the company’s key operations in Central Europe. Another important chapter followed after the fall of communism. In 1993, Coca-Cola opened a production facility in Prague’s Kyje district, which has since become the...

<description><![CDATA[  Vyšetřování jedné z nejtragičtějších námořních nehod v Chorvatsku nabírá na obrátkách. Při srážce katamaránu s plachetnicí zemřeli čtyři čeští občané. Další člověk z Česka zůstává v nemocnici ve Splitu. Kapitán plachetnice byl propuštěn z nemocnice a opustil Chorvatsko. To může výrazně zkomplikovat vyšetřování. Úřady budou pravděpodobně potřebovat spolupráci s Českem. Policie také zadržela prvního důstojníka katamaránu, ten však vinu odmítá. Vyšetřovatelé ho však podezírají, že při plavbě neměl zapnutý radar ani výstražný systém, uvedl deník Jutarnji list. ]]></description>
