<description><![CDATA[ The legendary Gipsy Kings by André Reyes will perform in Prague this November, bringing their distinctive mix of flamenco guitar, rumba and Latin rhythms to Lucerna Great Hall on November 29, 2026. Led by founding member André Reyes, the group will perform some of the songs that made the Gipsy Kings famous around the world, including “Bamboleo,” “Djobi Djoba” and “Volare,” alongside newer material. The concert is being presented by Gotobeat and will begin at 7 p.m. Tickets are online here. From southern France to the world The Gipsy Kings’ story began with the Reyes family and their musical roots in the south of France. André Reyes was one of the founding members of the group, which went on to combine traditional flamenco with rumba, Latin rhythms and pop influences. Their energetic guitar playing and Spanish-language songs helped turn rumba flamenca into an international sound. Tracks such as “Bamboleo” and “Djobi Djoba” became global hits, while their version of “Volare” introduced the group to an even wider audience. Music associated with the Gipsy Kings has sold more than 60 million records worldwide, making the group one of the most successful international acts to emerge from the flamenco-rumba tradition. Their music...

<title>Prague Planetarium to Become a Concert Venue Under the Stars</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/prague-planetarium-to-become-a-concert-venue-under-the-stars</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The Prague Planetarium in Stromovka will host a new series of chamber concerts combining live music with projections of the universe from September 2026. Called Niche Nites, the series will feature 10 concerts between September 2026 and June 2027. Each performance will be accompanied by visuals projected across the planetarium’s 22-metre-wide dome, with the imagery responding to the music in real time. The programme will take place on the final weekend of each month. Rather than staging repeated performances, each musician or group will appear at the planetarium only once, giving every concert its own programme and visual design. The series will open on September 25 with cellist Terezie Kovalová, whose work combines classical music with pop, alternative and electronic influences. Other performers confirmed for the programme include guitarist and composer Michal Pavlíček, who will appear with singer Bára Basiková, pianist and composer Beata Hlavenková, and singer-songwriter Lenka Dusilová. Further names will be announced by the organisers in the coming months. Producer and dramaturg Michala Komrsková said the project is intended to present established Czech musicians in a more intimate setting than the large concert halls where they usually perform. The planetarium’s technology will play a central role. Its dome...

<title>How to Buy TikTok Followers Without Risking Your Account</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Building a TikTok audience from zero can be frustrating. Even well-produced videos may struggle to attract attention when an account has only a handful of followers. This slow beginning encourages some creators and businesses to purchase followers in the hope of making their profiles appear more established. Follower count can influence first impressions. When visitors discover a profile with an existing audience, they may be more willing to watch its videos, explore older content, or follow the account themselves. However, purchased followers cannot replace engaging videos or genuine interaction. Low-quality services may also deliver inactive accounts that disappear quickly or create an unnatural gap between follower numbers and actual engagement. Anyone considering this approach should understand how follower services operate, what they can realistically provide, and which warning signs suggest that a seller should be avoided. Why Creators Purchase TikTok Followers New accounts frequently face a credibility problem. Viewers have little information to judge whether the creator is worth following, so the visible follower count becomes one of several signals they use to make that decision. A larger audience can make a profile appear more established. This is particularly relevant for businesses, influencers, musicians, and other new TikTok creators trying...

<title>7 Autumn Bike Trips to Take Around Czechia</title>
<link>https://pragueexaminer.com/7-autumn-bike-trips-to-take-around-czechia</link>
<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/7-autumn-bike-trips-to-take-around-czechia</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ With cooler temperatures and autumn colours arriving, September and October are among the best months for cycling in Czechia. The country’s extensive network of marked trails makes it easy to plan anything from a relaxed day trip to a multi-day adventure. Here are seven routes worth considering this autumn. 1. Prague–Mělník–Litoměřice One of the easiest options for Prague residents is to head north along the Elbe. The route passes through Mělník, known for its vineyards and historic centre, before continuing towards Litoměřice. Along the way, cyclists can see Roudnice Chateau, Mount Říp and the historic fortress town of Terezín. Mělník is particularly appealing in September, when its wine season is in full swing. 2. Znojmo Wine Route For a combination of cycling and wine, South Moravia is hard to beat in autumn. The 63-kilometre Znojmo Wine Route connects vineyards and villages around Znojmo and is suitable for cyclists of different abilities. September and October are also the region’s main wine-harvest season, with numerous wine and burčák events taking place. 3. Mikulov and Pálava The Mikulov Wine Trail offers another relaxed way to explore South Moravia. The route takes cyclists through vineyards and the countryside around Mikulov, with the Pálava hills...

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/ambiente-to-open-its-35th-prague-establishment-this-september</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Restaurant group Ambiente is preparing to open its 35th establishment, with a second location of its Pult beer concept set to launch in Prague’s Holešovice district in mid-September. The new venue will be located on Tusarova Street and will follow the concept of Pult in Prague 1, which opened in the Celnice building in 2021. While both locations will focus on Czech lager, the new Holešovice branch will introduce a different food concept and its own selection of beers. The original venue serves beers from six breweries, with an emphasis on precise storage, serving and temperature control. A different approach to food Food will be one of the main differences between the two Pult locations. The original Pult in Celnice focuses largely on smaller dishes and snacks. The Holešovice restaurant will instead offer a more substantial menu designed specifically to accompany beer. The menu is expected to focus heavily on Czech beef, including several versions of steak tartare and steaks. Unlike many restaurants where the kitchen closes earlier than the bar, the new Pult plans to serve food until closing at 1 a.m. The restaurant will have space for around 130 guests. Another new destination for Holešovice The opening comes...

<description><![CDATA[ A woman suffered serious burns during an emergency cesarean section at Prague’s Bulovka Hospital on Aug. 25, hospital spokeswoman Eva Stolejda Libigerová said. The cesarean was performed because of an acute obstetric complication. The woman’s condition is now stable and she does not require intensive care, the hospital said. She is recovering in a standard ward with her newborn. The hospital is investigating the incident as part of its internal procedures for reviewing patient safety and the quality of medical care. It said it would take appropriate measures once the investigation is complete. Fire broke out during surgery According to information obtained about the incident, medical staff were attempting to control bleeding toward the end of the operation when a fire broke out involving a surgical device. The device was reportedly being used shortly after the patient’s skin had been treated with a disinfectant. The woman suffered second- and third-degree burns to her inner thighs, sides, lower abdomen and genital area, according to the available information. Two days after the operation, she was transferred to the Burns Medicine Clinic at University Hospital Královské Vinohrady for treatment. She was later returned to Bulovka Hospital’s postpartum ward. The circumstances surrounding the fire,...

<description><![CDATA[ On Saturday, 19 September, Prague’s Rohan Beer Garden will host Heritage Braai Day, bringing the flavors and traditions of South Africa to the city. The event is organized by Saffa Maso. From noon, visitors can enjoy a relaxed day of grilling, music and socializing outdoors. Heritage Day in South Africa is a public holiday celebrating the country’s cultural diversity. It has also become closely associated with the tradition of braai, or South African-style barbecuing, with friends and family gathering around the grill to share food. In Prague, the event is open to everyone and will feature multiple grills, allowing visitors to prepare their own food. Those who prefer to leave the cooking to someone else can use the on-site grill master service, available for an additional fee. Standard tickets include grills, coals and all braai equipment. Visitors can also choose a braai package, which includes 500g of traditional boerewors sausage and 150g of biltong. On-site, guests will also be able to purchase Nando’s sauces, chutney, braai spices and other South African products.

<description><![CDATA[ A golden Airbus A350-1000 operated by Taiwan’s STARLUX Airlines landed at Václav Havel Airport Prague for the first time on Tuesday, September 1. The aircraft, registered as B-58554, carries the special AIRSORAYAMA Gold livery created in collaboration with Japanese artist Hajime Sorayama. Prague is one of only three destinations where STARLUX plans to operate the specially designed aircraft on a regular basis, alongside Tokyo and Phoenix. The arrival marks another step in the expansion of STARLUX’s new direct connection between Prague and Taipei. The airline launched the route on August 1, initially using the smaller Airbus A350-900. From September, the carrier has switched to the larger A350-1000, which can carry up to 350 passengers in four travel classes. STARLUX, Airbus and paint manufacturer Mankiewicz developed a multilayer coating using mica particles to create the metallic effect while meeting aviation safety requirements. Increasing capacity on Prague route STARLUX launched Prague as its first European destination on August 1, connecting the Czech capital directly with Taipei three times a week. The service currently operates on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/dozens-of-hot-air-balloons-to-fill-czech-skies-during-september-festival</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Dozens of hot air balloons are expected to take to the skies over eastern Bohemia this week as the Balonové Nebe festival returns to Hradec Králové, Jaroměř and nearby areas. The five-day event will run from Wednesday, September 2, through Sunday, September 6, with a program combining competitive balloon flights, mass launches and evening shows. All public events are free to attend. Weather will play a major role in the festival schedule. Balloon flights can only take place under suitable conditions, meaning launch sites and departure times may change at short notice. Organizers say the exact location of each flight will depend mainly on wind direction and other weather conditions. Planned flights may also be postponed or cancelled if conditions are unsuitable. The festival has established itself as one of the country’s major hot air balloon gatherings. Last year’s event set a Czech record when 81 balloons flew into the sky at the same time. The 2026 edition will once again feature morning competitions, during which pilots will complete a series of tasks while large groups of balloons rise over the region. Evening programs will offer a different spectacle, with balloon shows planned for spectators. The precise locations of these...

<title>New Pharmacy Partnership Makes Prescription Drugs Easier for Foreigners in Czechia</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/new-pharmacy-partnership-makes-prescription-drugs-easier-for-foreigners-in-czechia</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Foreigners from outside the EU insured with Maxima pojišťovna can now collect prescription medicines at selected pharmacies without paying upfront. The Czech insurer has expanded its network of partner pharmacies through a new agreement with LÉKÁRNA U MUZEA in Prague 1. Under the arrangement, the pharmacy and insurer handle the reimbursement directly, bringing the process closer to the system used by patients covered by Czech public health insurance. The change is aimed at simplifying access to medicines for foreigners, who can face difficulties navigating the Czech healthcare system and understanding the costs associated with medical treatment. According to figures cited by the insurer, nearly 900,000 people from non-EU countries have been living in the Czech Republic on a long-term basis. They account for about 8.2 percent of the country’s population. How the new system works Previously, foreign clients with commercial health insurance could be required to pay for prescribed medicines at the pharmacy and then submit the receipts to their insurer for reimbursement. Under the new arrangement, this step is eliminated. Eligible Maxima clients can collect their prescribed medicines through the partner pharmacy, while the financial settlement takes place directly between the pharmacy and the insurance company. The model has...

<description><![CDATA[ Prague has taken another step toward building the long-planned Vltava Philharmonic. The Prague Development Company (PDS) submitting an application for planning permission and new visualizations revealing the project in greater detail. The application covers not only the Philharmonic building but also the surrounding public spaces, transport infrastructure and connections to the existing metro, tram, road, cycling and pedestrian networks. If the permitting process stays on schedule, the city expects to receive the necessary approval in the first quarter of 2027. A tender for the construction company would then follow, with building work potentially starting in the first quarter of 2028. The project is planned for the Bubny-Zátory district, near the existing Vltavská metro station. The new cultural complex is expected to be completed in 2033, when trial operations could begin. The building was designed by Danish architecture studio BIG – Bjarke Ingels Group, which won an international competition in May 2022. Preparation of the detailed permit documentation began in 2025. The complex will have three underground levels and six floors above ground. It will contain five music halls, creative spaces, restaurants and other facilities.

<title>Czechia Spent CZK 19 Billion on COVID Vaccines and Used Less Than Half</title>

<description><![CDATA[ The Czech Republic has spent roughly CZK 19 billion on COVID-19 vaccines since 2020, but fewer than half of the 41 million doses supplied under its pandemic-era procurement agreement were ultimately used in the country. More than 18 million doses expired and had to be destroyed, representing a value of about CZK 8 billion. A further four million doses were donated to other countries, according to information provided by the Czech Ministry of Health in response to a request from the Czech Technical Committee. For the 2026-27 vaccination season, around 900,000 doses will be available in the country. By comparison, fewer than one-third of that number was administered during the previous season. The vaccination season runs from September through the end of August the following year. Demand for COVID-19 vaccination has fallen sharply since the initial rollout. More than 15 million doses were administered during the first year vaccines were widely available. A year later, demand had fallen to roughly one-fifth of that level. Between 2022 and 2023, interest dropped by more than 80 percent, followed by further declines of about one-third in subsequent years. Only about 1,500 doses had been administered by July 26 this year. Most vaccinations, however,...

<title>Czechia, the Land of Burgers. More Fast Food Chains Enter the Market</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/czechia-the-land-of-burgers-more-fast-food-chains-enter-the-market</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The Czech fast food market is expanding beyond its established players, with new international brands entering the country and existing chains opening restaurants in smaller cities. McDonald’s and KFC continue to build their networks, while brands from Germany, the United States and Poland are looking for opportunities in the Czech Republic. The expansion is increasingly moving beyond Prague and other major cities, with retail parks becoming an important location for new restaurants. Burgermeister prepares Czech debut One of the newest international brands preparing to enter the Czech market is Germany’s Burgermeister. The Berlin-based burger chain plans to open its first restaurant on Wenceslas Square at the beginning of next year. The company already sees its Prague location as more than a single restaurant. It is also considering further locations across the country. Popeyes and Burger King continue expanding Burger King entered the Czech market 18 years ago and now operates around 70 restaurants. Popeyes arrived much later but has expanded quickly, opening 19 locations during its first three years in the country. The companies are building a network that stretches from smaller regional towns to central Prague. In Králův Dvůr, a town of around 11,000 people, both Burger King and...

<title>Foreign Pupils on the Rise in Czech Schools — Nearly One in Five in Prague</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/foreign-pupils-on-the-rise-in-czech-schools-nearly-one-in-five-in-prague</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Of the nearly one million pupils attending Czech primary schools last academic year, almost 8% were foreign nationals, most commonly from Ukraine. According to the Czech Statistical Office (CSO), Prague recorded the highest proportion, with foreign pupils making up 18% of all children in its primary schools. Compulsory education is mandatory for Czech citizens as well as citizens of other European Union member states who reside in the Czech Republic for more than 90 days. The requirement also applies to foreign nationals with long-term residence permits. Their children therefore have the same rights as Czech children, including access to free education, school meals and extracurricular activities. The number of foreign pupils increased significantly after Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, nearly doubling that year. Their numbers have continued to rise ever since. Today, children from Ukraine account for 5% of all pupils in the Czech Republic. The trend is similar in secondary schools, where the proportion of foreign pupils reached its highest level in the past 10 years, at almost 5% of the total. Although the number of children in primary schools has remained relatively stable at just over one million in recent years, a sharp decline is expected in...

<description><![CDATA[ Slavia Prague have learned their eight opponents for the 2026/27 UEFA Champions League league phase following Thursday’s draw in Monaco. Slavia will play four matches at home at Eden Arena and four away. At home, Slavia will welcome Arsenal, Aston Villa, Villarreal and Lens. Their away fixtures will take them to Bayern Munich, Porto, Fenerbahçe and Sabah Baku in Azerbaijan. The most high-profile home fixture will be against Arsenal, the reigning Premier League champions. Slavia also faced the London club in last season’s Champions League campaign, making the return meeting at Eden Arena particularly notable. The toughest away assignment is likely to come in Munich, where Slavia will face six-time European champions Bayern at the Allianz Arena. The team will also travel to Portugal to meet Porto and to Istanbul for a match against Fenerbahçe. The longest trip of the league phase will be to Baku to face Azerbaijani champions Sabah, who are making their debut in the Champions League league phase.

<title>Tiny Steps, Big Milestones: What Really Matters When Toddlers Start Preschool</title>
<link>https://pragueexaminer.com/tiny-steps-big-milestones-what-really-matters-when-toddlers-start-preschool</link>
<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/tiny-steps-big-milestones-what-really-matters-when-toddlers-start-preschool</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ For a one-year-old, starting preschool is not about learning letters or sitting through lessons. It is about feeling safe without Mum or Dad nearby, discovering the joy of playing alongside other children, and slowly gaining the confidence to explore the world independently. At Tiny Tots in Prague, these small everyday moments are at the heart of the programme. A favourite toy clutched tightly in one hand. A cautious look back at Mum or Dad from the classroom door. Perhaps a few tears  (from either side). For families with children aged one or two, the first experience of leaving a little one in someone else’s care can feel like a very big step. And for the child, it is one too. At this age, development happens through moments that can look almost insignificant to adults: reaching for a spoon without help, joining another child in play, recognising a familiar song, saying a new word, or feeling comfortable enough to wander a little further away from a trusted adult. These are precisely the moments that Tiny Tots, a programme for children aged 1–2 at Nessie English Preschool, part of Park Lane International School, is designed to encourage. Before learning comes feeling safe...

<title>More Czechs Are Living Paycheck to Paycheck, New Survey Finds</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/more-czechs-are-living-paycheck-to-paycheck-new-survey-finds</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The number of Czechs who have nothing left from their paycheck at the end of the month is rising. This year, 13 percent say they have no money left after covering their expenses, up from 9 percent last year. Meanwhile, 84 percent have at least a small amount left over, five percentage points less than in 2025. The findings come from a May survey conducted by loan provider Provident Financial among 1,000 respondents. According to the survey, Czechs’ ability to save is declining. Only 43 percent of respondents have at least 20 percent of their monthly income left after covering their expenses, down nine percentage points from last year. Almost half of Czechs nevertheless regularly set aside part of their paycheck each month. At the same time, their overall financial resilience appears to be improving. More than a quarter of respondents have enough savings to cover their expenses for more than a year, compared with just 15 percent last year. The share of people with no financial reserve at all has also fallen, from 18 percent in 2025 to 13 percent this year. The gap between men and women in the amount of money left at the end of the...

<description><![CDATA[ The long-awaited reconstruction of Prague’s Invalidovna has officially begun. The Baroque complex in Karlín will undergo a major renovation costing CZK 2.15 billion, with work scheduled for completion in 2030. The project is the largest investment in the history of the National Heritage Institute (NPÚ). Alongside the restoration of the historic building, two new extensions will be constructed on the southern side of the complex. One will provide facilities for the Prague Philharmonic Choir, while the other will house technical infrastructure needed to operate the site. Much of Invalidovna will remain open to the public Once the reconstruction is complete, the NPÚ will use part of the complex for restoration workshops, laboratories, archives and study rooms. An underground garage with space for 50 vehicles is also planned. Around 80 percent of the complex is expected to remain accessible to the public. The restored site will include exhibition and conference spaces, visitor routes through the Baroque interiors, a café and facilities for children’s groups operated by Prague 8. A new multi-purpose hall in one of the extensions will be suitable for concerts, conferences and other events. The modern section will also contain technical facilities that cannot be accommodated inside the protected...

<title>Airbnb Accounts for 1 Percent of Prague’s Housing Stock, Analysis Finds</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/airbnb-accounts-for-1-percent-of-pragues-housing-stock-analysis-finds</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Prague’s short-term rental market has grown into a professional business but Airbnb accounts for only a small share of the city’s housing stock, according to a new analysis. In June 2026, around 7,878 entire apartments and houses in Prague were actively listed on Airbnb. With roughly 720,000 apartments across the capital, that represents about 1.1 percent of the total housing stock. The situation is very different in individual parts of the city. In Prague 1, Airbnb-listed properties account for around one-fifth of all apartments, according to the Prague Institute of Planning and Development (IPR). In Prague 2, the share is around 7 percent, while in some outer districts it is below 0.5 percent. The concentration of short-term rentals has also changed the nature of the market. IPR data show that hosts managed an average of two apartments in 2019. By 2024, that figure had risen to three, while more than half of Prague’s Airbnb listings were operated by hosts with at least five properties. This means short-term accommodation is increasingly being run as a business rather than as occasional home-sharing. Prague’s housing shortage is much larger Despite the impact Airbnb can have in central neighborhoods, the analysis points to a...

<description><![CDATA[ Prague will host its annual celebration of Indian culture, Ganeshotsav, on Saturday, September 19, at Kulturní dům Ládví. Ganeshotsav, the festival honoring Lord Ganesha, is more than a celebration of Indian culture—it’s a way to bring people together. Since 2021, the festival has grown into a space where Indian and Czech communities can meet, connect, and enjoy shared traditions. The event is organised by Maharashtra Mandal, Czech Republic, a registered non-profit dedicated to promoting friendship and understanding between Indian and Czech residents. The festival features traditional Indian rituals, music, dance, and food, and welcomes everyone to join in the fun. This year, the festival also adds a charitable aspect: part of the registration fees will go to support non-profits in India (Matrubhoomi) and the Czech Republic (Karmabhoomi). “With this initiative, we want to contribute to the development of communities both in our country of origin and in the country that is now our home,” says the organizers to Prague Morning.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Maharashtra Mandal Czech Republic (@maharashtramandalczechrepublic) By partnering with like-minded organisations, the festival encourages intercultural dialogue, mutual respect, and connections between diverse communities living in the Czech Republic.

<title>Partial Lunar Eclipse to Be Visible From Prague at Dawn on August 28</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/partial-lunar-eclipse-to-be-visible-from-prague-at-dawn-on-august-28</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Prague residents willing to get up early on Friday, August 28, will have a chance to witness a partial lunar eclipse, with almost the entire Moon passing into Earth’s shadow shortly before it sets. The eclipse will reach its maximum at 6:12 a.m. CEST. By then, only a narrow section along the Moon’s northern edge will remain illuminated. In Prague, the Moon is expected to set at approximately 6:17 a.m., leaving only a few minutes to observe the eclipse at its peak. The partial phase will begin at 4:33 a.m. As the event progresses, Earth’s shadow will gradually cover the lunar surface, reducing the bright portion of the Moon until only a thin illuminated crescent remains visible. Astronomers at the Silesian University in Opava say observers will need an unobstructed view towards the southwest, as the Moon will be low above the horizon throughout the most important part of the event. The eclipse follows another major astronomical event visible from the Czech Republic earlier this month, giving skywatchers a second opportunity to observe a rare celestial phenomenon within a short period. Unlike a solar eclipse, observing the Moon does not require protective eyewear. The eclipse can be seen with the...

<title>GALLERY: Light Installation “Synapse” Coming to Florenc Metro Station</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/gallery-light-installation-synapse-coming-to-florenc-metro-station</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Jan Poš light installation Synapse will go on display in the Florenc Line C metro passage at the end of September. The artwork will track passengers’ movements and complement the existing Battle of Sokolovo mosaic. Prague city councillors approved around CZK 1.38 million in funding to complete and install the artwork. “Synapse” is a light-based installation by visual artist Jan Poš (1996) and the winning entry in the “Light for the Metro” competition held in 2023. The aim was to create a light artwork for the passage connecting the north and south concourses of Florenc metro station. A total of 23 artists and teams submitted proposals, with four advancing to the final stage, which was conducted as a competitive dialogue. The five-member jury considered the artwork’s long-term maintenance and its ability to withstand demanding operating conditions. According to Poš, the artwork, installed on the wall opposite the underpass’s main staircase, comes into view as metro passengers ascend or descend the stairs. It becomes part of their daily journey while remaining elegantly set apart, creating a space where it can stand on its own and offer a moment of respite from the hustle and bustle. Poš says the work’s format and...

<title>“Upcycling” Prague: Old Offices and Industrial Sites Find New Life as Apartments</title>
<link>https://pragueexaminer.com/upcycling-prague-old-offices-and-industrial-sites-find-new-life-as-apartments</link>
<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/upcycling-prague-old-offices-and-industrial-sites-find-new-life-as-apartments</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Former offices, commercial properties and industrial sites in Prague are being converted into apartments rather than demolished, giving developers another option in a city struggling to build enough new homes. The approach is sometimes described as “upcycling” — adapting ageing buildings for a new purpose while making use of structures and land that are already developed. One recent example is in Pankrác, near Vyšehrad, where an office building has been converted into the Mo-cha HOME residential complex. Developed by Cimex, the project opened this spring with 91 fully equipped apartments, most of them in the Czech 2+kk layout, consisting of a living room with a kitchenette and one separate bedroom. Existing buildings offer valuable locations Owners of older properties increasingly have to decide whether to renovate them, change their use or demolish them. Many were built for different needs and standards than those expected from buildings today. Their locations, however, can be a major advantage. Older properties are often close to public transport, shops and other services, making them attractive for residential conversion. Transforming an existing building can also be faster to prepare than developing a completely new project on a brownfield, although each property must be assessed individually. The...

<title>Prague Adds 18 Kilometers of Cycle Routes but Cycling Numbers Barely Rise</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/prague-adds-18-kilometers-of-cycle-routes-but-cycling-numbers-barely-rise</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Prague is continuing to expand its cycling infrastructure, but the number of recorded bicycle journeys across the city has remained largely unchanged. Automatic counters installed on major cycling routes recorded about 5.6 million passages in 2025, roughly 1 percent fewer than the previous year. After adjusting for counter failures and temporary route closures, however, the Technical Road Administration (TSK) calculated a 0.4 percent increase in cycling traffic. Prague Adds 18 Kilometers of Routes Away From Traffic The city added 18 kilometers of two-way cycle paths and other cycling routes separated from motor traffic during the year. The total length of marked cycling routes increased by one kilometer to approximately 550 kilometers. Routes separated from car traffic now account for 263 kilometers of the network, an increase of seven kilometers compared with the previous year. TSK operates automatic counters at 31 locations on Prague’s main cycling routes. The devices use induction loops or radar to record cyclists and can determine their direction of travel. The largest increase in two-way cycling routes came over the past year. Their combined length grew from 63 to 81 kilometers. These routes allow cyclists to travel in both directions on streets that are otherwise one-way for...

<title>Bolt Launches App&#45;Free Ride Kiosks in the Czech Republic</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/bolt-launches-app-free-ride-kiosks-in-the-czech-republic</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Bolt has introduced self-service kiosks in the Czech Republic that allow customers to order a ride without a smartphone, mobile data or the Bolt app. The first kiosk is now operating at Westfield Chodov in Prague. A second will open at Westfield Černý Most on September 1. The company says it plans to consider other high-traffic locations in the future. The kiosks use TapBox technology and provide access to the same Bolt driver network, pricing and safety standards available through the app. Customers can place an order directly at the screen, making the service available to people who do not use smartphones or cannot access their phones at the time. Both shopping centres have also introduced dedicated parking spaces for Bolt drivers collecting passengers. Customers are directed to these designated areas rather than having to meet drivers at potentially unsafe stopping points such as bus stops. How Bolt kiosks work Ordering a ride takes several steps. Customers enter their destination, select a ride category and provide their phone number. The available categories are Standard, Comfort, Premium and XL. Payment is made by card. Once the booking is completed, the kiosk prints a confirmation and sends an SMS containing the vehicle...

<title>Foreign Workers Now Make Up 22% of Czech Employees</title>
<link>https://pragueexaminer.com/foreign-workers-now-make-up-22-of-czech-employees</link>
<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/foreign-workers-now-make-up-22-of-czech-employees</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Foreign workers accounted for around 22% of all employees in the Czech Republic at the end of 2025, according to data from the Czech National Bank (ČNB). Their number has nearly tripled over the past decade, rising from about 323,000 in 2015 to 935,000 last year. The increase has significantly changed the makeup of the Czech labor market. Foreign workers represented roughly 8% of all employees in 2015. By the end of 2025, their share had reached 22%. Ukrainians made up the largest group of foreign employees, with approximately 358,000 working in Czechia at the end of last year. Slovaks were the second-largest group, numbering almost 230,000. The Czech labor market has also seen increasing numbers of workers from other countries outside the European Union, including the Philippines and India. Foreign workers are particularly important in several sectors, including manufacturing, construction, retail, transport and hospitality. Their presence is most pronounced in accommodation, food services and hospitality. Foreign nationals accounted for more than half of all employees in the sector at the end of 2025. The figures should, however, be interpreted with some caution when comparing individual industries. The CNB notes that employment agencies can distort the sectoral breakdown. Workers employed...

<title>More Czech Companies Test Four&#45;Day Work Weeks Despite Political Resistance</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/more-czech-companies-test-four-day-work-weeks-despite-political-resistance</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A growing number of companies in the Czech Republic are experimenting with a four-day working week, with some reporting higher productivity and greater employee satisfaction. But politicians remain reluctant to make the arrangement a standard option across the country. Under the model, employees work four days instead of five while keeping their full salaries. Companies that have introduced the system say workers can maintain their output while having more time to rest. At Trinity Group, the arrangement has been in place for five years. Jan Hanulík, the company’s product and marketing director, said productivity had risen despite employees working one day less each week. “Although we have one working day less, productivity has increased,” Hanulík said, adding that the company’s results have roughly doubled since the system was introduced. A survey cited in the report found that around 70 percent of employees in the Czech Republic would welcome a four-day working week. Politicians remain cautious The idea has already been adopted in different forms elsewhere in Europe. In Belgium, for example, employees can request to work their weekly hours over four days rather than five. The system therefore does not necessarily mean fewer working hours. Czech politicians, however, argue that...

<title>New Budget Airline to Launch Direct Flights from Prague to Santiago de Compostela</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/new-budget-airline-to-launch-direct-flights-from-prague-to-santiago-de-compostela</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A new budget airline is set to launch direct flights between Prague and Santiago de Compostela in Spain, giving travellers from the Czech capital a new low-cost option for visiting Galicia and the famous Camino de Santiago. Fly2Galicia plans to begin operating flights from Santiago–Rosalía de Castro Airport to eight European destinations from December 1, 2026. Prague is among the international destinations, alongside Brussels, Munich, Venice and Milan. Tickets are already on sale, with fares from Prague to Santiago de Compostela starting at €51. The new route could be particularly attractive in 2027, when Santiago de Compostela will celebrate a Holy Year. The occasion is expected to bring increased numbers of pilgrims completing the Camino de Santiago, one of Europe’s best-known pilgrimage routes. There is, however, one detail to note: Fly2Galicia will not operate the initial flights itself. The airline says the routes will be operated by another European carrier, which has not yet been named. The new service comes as airlines continue to expand connections between Central Europe and Spain. Wizz Air has also announced new flights to Santiago from Rome and Warsaw starting this December. What to see in Santiago de Compostela For travellers arriving from Prague, Santiago’s...

<title>Tesco Teams Up With Wolt. Can Express Delivery Save Its Czech Business?</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Tesco will launch a new express delivery service in Prague in September, working with Wolt to deliver orders within 40 minutes. The service, called Tesco Hned, will initially be available from selected Tesco stores in the Czech capital. The launch comes as speculation continues over a possible sale of Tesco’s Central European operations and the British retailer’s future in the Czech Republic. Tesco Hned is designed for customers who need groceries and other everyday products quickly rather than as part of a larger planned shop. Orders will include food, drinks, cosmetics, household products, pet supplies and other goods. The company says its standard online shopping service will continue to focus on larger orders, while the new option is aimed at customers who need a few items immediately. Tesco has already tested the service at six Prague stores. It plans to extend Tesco Hned to another 22 locations in the coming weeks. Delivery will be provided through Wolt, giving customers access to Tesco products through the courier company’s platform. Tesco faces questions over its future The new service comes at a difficult time for Tesco in Central Europe. According to the Financial Times, Tesco’s British owners are considering selling their operations...

<title>58 Years Since Warsaw Pact Troops Invaded Czechoslovakia</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/58-years-since-warsaw-pact-troops-invaded-czechoslovakia</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ On August 21, 1968, Soviet troops and their Warsaw Pact allies invaded Czechoslovakia to bring an end to that country’s brief period of political liberalization, called the Prague Spring. People still recall waking up on that fateful morning to find that Soviet-led Warsaw Pact tanks had rolled into the country, crushing all hope of implementing the democratic reforms of the Prague Spring. Shocked citizens took to the streets in protest of the invasion. About 500,000 troops were involved in the invasion and occupation, during which 137 Czechoslovaks died and some 500 were wounded. One of the key battles was for the control of Czech Radio, similar to the one that took place at the end of the Second World War. The invasion ended the political and economic reforms led by Alexander Dubcek and reasserted dominant Soviet and Communist authority in Czechoslovakia. It also helped establish the Brezhnev Doctrine, which Moscow said allowed the U.S.S.R. to intervene in any country where a communist government was under threat. Within the following year, resistance faded, Dubček was removed from office, his reforms were undone, and a more Soviet-controlled government was installed.

<title>Students in Czech Republic Face Higher Rents as Housing Costs Rise</title>
<link>https://pragueexaminer.com/students-in-czech-republic-face-higher-rents-as-housing-costs-rise</link>
<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/students-in-czech-republic-face-higher-rents-as-housing-costs-rise</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Students looking for private accommodation in Czech university cities this year are facing higher rents, with prices for some types of housing up by as much as 14 percent compared with 2025. The increase comes as demand for student accommodation reaches its annual peak ahead of the winter semester. Data from several Czech property platforms show that the busiest period started earlier this year, meaning students who have not yet found accommodation may face a more limited and expensive selection in September. Those unable to secure a place in a student dormitory generally have three alternatives: renting a small apartment alone, taking a private room in a shared apartment, or renting a bed in shared accommodation. The most expensive option is usually a small one-bedroom apartment with a kitchenette, typically around 30 square meters. According to the REMAX network, monthly rents for these apartments range from more than CZK 7,000 in Ústí nad Labem to around CZK 14,000 in Prague. Prices have not increased evenly across the country. Brno recorded the sharpest rise, with rents for small apartments increasing by 12 percent year on year. Prague saw a 4 percent increase, while rents in Hradec Králové and Pardubice rose by...

<title>Leo Express to Launch Direct Prague–Brno Trains in December</title>
<link>https://pragueexaminer.com/leo-express-to-launch-direct-praguebrno-trains-in-december</link>
<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/leo-express-to-launch-direct-praguebrno-trains-in-december</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Leo Express is set to begin operating direct trains between Prague and Brno in December, marking the private carrier’s first direct connection between the two cities. The company has already been serving passengers in the South Moravian Region, but its trains have so far bypassed Brno. Over the past year, travellers from towns such as Hodonín and Břeclav have been able to use Leo Express services to reach Prague, travelling via Přerov and Olomouc. The new Prague–Brno service will change that, putting the carrier directly on one of the Czech Republic’s busiest rail routes. There is, however, one limitation for passengers travelling to Prague. Leo Express trains do not serve Prague Main Station. In Prague, passengers must use Praha-Libeň station, which may be less convenient for those travelling to the city centre.

<description><![CDATA[ A new bus service running through Prague’s Blanka tunnel has begun operating, offering a direct connection between the northern part of the city and Dejvice. Bus line 145 connects Čimice and Kobylisy in Prague 8 with Hradčanská and Dejvická in Prague 6. The journey takes around 15 minutes, according to Prague’s public transport authority ROPID. The same trip by metro requires a change between lines C and A in the city centre and takes around 22 minutes. Including the time spent walking through stations and using escalators, the journey can take about half an hour. The first day of operation brought mostly positive results, with many buses arriving on time or even ahead of schedule. The real test will come during regular weekday traffic, when congestion around Prague is heavier. Where the new bus runs In the direction from Čimice to Dejvice, line 145 serves: Sídliště Čimice – Čimice – Libeňská – Řepínská – Podhajská pole – Čimický háj – Písečná – Služská – Kobylisy – Okrouhlická – Vychovatelna – Hradčanská – Vítězné náměstí – Dejvická The return route follows the same corridor in the opposite direction. The key feature of line 145 is its use of the Blanka tunnel,...

<description><![CDATA[ A new urban festival is aiming to become a regular fixture on Prague’s cultural calendar after attracting 1,200 visitors to its first edition in Riegrovy sady. Groovy Market Fest, held on August 1, brought together food, design, music and local brands in a format inspired by European city markets. According to the organizers, around 85% of visitors were tourists or foreign residents of Prague, highlighting the event’s appeal beyond the Czech-speaking audience. The festival will return to Riegrovy sady on September 5, with further editions planned for October, November and December. From Barcelona to Prague Groovy Market Fest was founded by Marek Novák and Veronika Kracíková, a couple with experience in Prague’s food scene and Barcelona’s street-food culture. Their interest in international gastronomy also led them to compete in Spain. In 2025, they won first place in the Cooking The Street competition, where their dish was judged by a professional panel that included chefs Beñat Ormaetxea and Jon Kepa Aurrecoetxea. After returning to Prague, they decided to develop their own event, drawing inspiration from markets such as Barcelona’s Palo Alto Market. The First Edition Food Garden focused on gastronomy, while Palm Street featured local products and handmade goods. The Design...

<description><![CDATA[ Fish farmers reduce or suspend supplementary feeding to lower oxygen consumption, reports say. Fish farmers in the Czech Republic have begun taking emergency measures as a prolonged drought, worsened by high temperatures across Europe, strains water supplies. Facing water shortages, fish farmers have reduced or suspended supplementary feeding to lower fish oxygen consumption, while ponds are being regularly aerated, according to the report. Several ponds have also been netted earlier than usual. In the Třeboň area, which delivers tons of carp for the Czech Christmas table, part of the 200-hectare Koclířov pond has been drained and the fish moved to holding tanks. More than a third of the water is missing from the region’s famous system of fish ponds due to the drought. The water level in Lake Svět, for example, has fallen by 98 centimetres. High temperatures are also causing water to evaporate more quickly. The Czech government is expected to address the 2027 budget, upcoming elections and measures to tackle worsening drought. Prime Minister Andrej Babiš has pledged an extra CZK 4 billion for drought-related measures. If approved, ministers will present plans for implementing them.

<description><![CDATA[ Czechia has placed ninth among 192 countries in the 2026 Rumavi Global Relocation Index, which assesses destinations based on factors including safety, healthcare, taxation, living costs and opportunities for people considering a move abroad. The country scored 69.9 points in the overall ranking, putting it just outside the top five but ahead of Malta and several larger European economies. Estonia took first place with 72.8 points, followed by Singapore, Malaysia, Portugal and Taiwan. Czechia performed particularly well in the ranking for families, where it placed third worldwide. The index also gave the country strong scores for safety, property rights and climate risk. Within Europe, Czechia ranked fourth overall. Estonia, Portugal and Lithuania were the only European countries placed higher in the general ranking. The results are based on the Rumavi Global Relocation Index 2026, a privately produced ranking designed for people considering relocation as well as investors. Rumavi evaluates 192 countries using 24 indicators grouped into four areas: finance and taxes, livability and health, safety and stability, and settling and opportunity.

<description><![CDATA[ For passengers, a taxi ride can make the job look straightforward. Pick someone up, drive them across Prague, wait for the next booking and repeat. But the income of a full-time taxi driver depends on far more than the fare shown on the meter or app. Drivers working through platforms such as Uber and Bolt can generate more than CZK 60,000 in gross monthly revenue when working around 40 to 50 hours a week. What they actually keep, however, is considerably less.   Gross income can exceed CZK 60,000 Official figures for Prague’s taxi sector put the average gross monthly pay at roughly CZK 38,000. Drivers who work full time through ride-hailing platforms can earn more, particularly when they concentrate on periods of high demand. According to Ondřej Krátký, founder of the Czech taxi platform Liftago, drivers can typically earn about CZK 250 to CZK 350 per hour. At the lower end of the market, however, some drivers make only around CZK 80 an hour, which is difficult to turn into a sustainable income in Prague. Official statistics may also underestimate the money generated by some drivers because not every journey is paid through an app. Cash payments remain part...

<description><![CDATA[ Oscar-winning actor and musician Russell Crowe will bring his band, The Gentlemen Barbers, to Forum Karlín on May 23, 2027, for their first-ever Prague concert. Russell Crowe is best known for his roles in Gladiator, A Beautiful Mind and A Good Year, but long before Hollywood, music was a major part of his life. On May 23, 2027, the Oscar and Golden Globe winner will bring that side of his career to Prague for the first time, performing with his band The Gentlemen Barbers at Forum Karlín. Tickets will go on sale soon via Ticketportal and Ticketmaster. The concert will also mark the opening night of the band’s European tour. The Gentlemen Barbers have been developing their sound over the past four years, although many of the musicians have worked with Crowe for decades. The lineup includes drummer Dave Kelly and trumpeter Stewart Kirwan, both former members of Thirty Odd Foot of Grunts, as well as musicians who have collaborated with Crowe on later projects. The band also features pianist Stu Hunter, guitarist Chris Kamzelas and bassist James Hazelwood. Irish singer Lorraine O’Reilly, known for her powerful, raspy vocals, has performed with Crowe since they first met while recording a...

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/passenger-attacks-four-airport-staff-after-being-denied-boarding-in-prague</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A passenger attacked four employees of ground-handling company Menzies Aviation at Prague’s Airport on Thursday evening after being denied boarding on a flight to Rome. The incident took place at Terminal 2, near Gate C9, shortly after 8 p.m., according to Zdopravy.cz. The woman arrived late for boarding on a Ryanair flight. After being refused entry to the aircraft, she reportedly became aggressive and attacked members of the ground-handling staff. One of the employees stepped between the woman and a colleague who was being confronted by her. The passenger then bit him. Airport police were called to the scene and used restraint equipment to detain the woman. She was subsequently escorted from the boarding area and handed over to the Czech police. “The woman was late for the boarding gate, and after being denied boarding, she physically attacked an airport employee,” Josef Urban, a spokesperson for the Foreign Police Directorate said. “Responding officers detained her using restraint equipment, and the case is now being investigated as disorderly conduct,” he added. The incident was also confirmed by Prague Airport spokesperson Jiří Hánich. The injured employees required medical treatment following the attack. Four members of the Menzies team were reportedly involved in...

<description><![CDATA[ Residents say they are cutting water use wherever possible, taking shorter showers, reducing garden watering and abandoning plans to fill swimming pool. Communities across the Czech Republic are struggling with worsening water shortages as wells dry up and small streams disappear after years of increasingly severe drought, according to local media on Thursday. In the village of Krsy in the Plzen Region, tankers are delivering drinking water daily to a reservoir above the village. Some private wells have already run dry, while others are close to empty. Residents said they are cutting water use wherever possible, taking shorter showers, reducing garden watering and abandoning plans to fill swimming pools. Authorities are urging households to connect to public water networks where available. The shortages are also putting pressure on tourist destinations. In Horni Becva, in the Beskydy Mountains, the population doubles during the summer holidays. The municipality’s two wells have been operating close to their limits, with firefighters called in to deliver water. Hotels with wellness facilities are among the largest users, prompting local officials to ask businesses to reduce consumption. Officials hope conditions will improve when the tourist season ends and autumn rains arrive. Promote your business to thousands of...

<description><![CDATA[ Some 300 Czech tourists are among the 1,000 evacuees with a Czech police officer sent to coordinate the emergency response. Croatian prime minister Andrej Plenković is in the town holding a coordination meeting with all emergency services this morning. Croatian president Zoran Milanović is also expected later today. “All those injured in last night’s fire are being provided with the necessary medical care,” Plenković said in an earlier update on X. No fatalities have been reported. The spokesman said there were also no reports of serious injuries among Czech citizens. Some tourists left the area on their own, while others are staying at evacuation centres in Omiš and Split. A Czech consul is on site and is in contact with local authorities and security forces. Fire spreads across up to 1,000 hectares Around 160 firefighters, supported by specialised firefighting aircraft, are battling the blaze. The fire has caused significant material damage, according to eyewitnesses, with dozens of cars and homes reportedly destroyed. Strong winds have helped the flames spread across an area estimated at between 900 and 1,000 hectares. Witnesses reported hearing gas cylinders exploding inside burning homes, while the streets were filled with the sirens of fire engines, ambulances...

<title>Prague Taxi Driver Arrested After Taking CZK 3.5 Million Left in His Car</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/prague-taxi-driver-arrested-after-taking-czk-35-million-left-in-his-car</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A 21-year-old taxi driver in Prague has been arrested after allegedly taking a suitcase containing CZK 3.5 million in cash that passengers accidentally left in his car. The money was recovered by police after the driver eventually admitted what he had done and told investigators where he had hidden it. He now faces up to five years in prison. The incident happened in late July, although police only released details of the case several days later. The passengers were a married couple who had taken a taxi to Václav Havel Airport in the early morning. They were heading on vacation and only realized after reaching the airport that one of their suitcases was still in the vehicle. The couple immediately contacted the driver and asked him to bring the suitcase back. According to police, he initially agreed, but the luggage never appeared despite further calls and reminders. The couple eventually reported the matter to police. Given the amount of money involved, forensic specialists from the Prague 1 police precinct joined the investigation. Investigators quickly located the taxi and detained the driver. A search of the vehicle, however, produced no suitcase. The 21-year-old initially denied that the passengers had left anything...

<title>From a Student’s Dream to a Japanese Bakery in Prague: The Story Behind Yaki&#45;Pan</title>

<description><![CDATA[ For Hoan, opening a bakery in Prague was not a sudden business idea. It was a dream that had been taking shape for more than a decade. After arriving in Prague as a student, Hoan watched members of the Vietnamese community build businesses across the city, most commonly in restaurants, grocery shops and nail salons. She worked in grocery stores and restaurants herself, gradually gaining experience in the food industry while studying. But after finishing school, she still was not sure what kind of business she wanted to open. One thing was clear: she loved baking. “Its my dream. It’s been my plan for a long time, more than 10 years,” she says. Rather than opening another coffee shop, she decided to focus on what she knew best. She had visited bakeries around Prague and noticed what she saw as a gap in the city’s food scene: there were few places specialising in Japanese-style baking. Around six years ago, she decided that she wanted to fill that gap herself. The result was Yaki-Pan, a small bakery built around Japanese pastries and flavours. Before opening, Hoan spent roughly a year and a half — and much of that time at home...

<title>This Website Tracks How Many Trams Are Still Running Without Air Conditioning</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/this-website-tracks-how-many-trams-are-still-running-without-air-conditioning</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A new website is giving Prague residents a live picture of how many trams are operating without air conditioning, highlighting an issue that has become particularly noticeable during the city’s summer heat. The service, Smrdime.cz, was created by developer Christoph Korb. Its name is a play on the Czech word smrdíme, meaning “we stink,” and refers to the uncomfortable conditions passengers can face inside overheated trams. The website uses live data to calculate the share of Prague’s trams that are currently running without air conditioning. The figures change throughout the day as new vehicles enter and leave service. When the service was checked on Thursday, August 13, Prague was experiencing temperatures of around 37 degrees Celsius. At that point, 188 of the 256 trams in operation did not have air conditioning, representing about 71 percent of the fleet being tracked. Of the 147 air-conditioned trams available, 77 were operating at the same time. The figures provide a snapshot rather than a fixed daily total. As trams are taken out of service and replaced, the balance between air-conditioned and non-air-conditioned vehicles changes continuously. The project draws attention to a long-standing issue facing Prague’s public transport system: a substantial part of the...

<description><![CDATA[ Berlin burger chain Burgermeister is preparing to enter the Czech market, with its first Prague restaurant expected to open in early 2027. The company has chosen Wenceslas Square for its debut. The location will also serve as a base for Burgermeister’s planned expansion across the Czech Republic, with more restaurants already in the pipeline. Burgermeister has built its reputation in Berlin over the past two decades, growing from a single restaurant in a former public toilet into an international chain with 32 locations across Germany and other European markets. Burgermeister has not yet revealed the exact address or confirmed a specific opening date. The Prague restaurant will follow the concept that made Burgermeister popular in Berlin. The chain focuses on freshly prepared burgers and fries, with part of its food production handled in-house. Its operations also include its own bakery. From a former public toilet to an international burger chain Burgermeister opened its first restaurant in the Kreuzberg district of Berlin in 2006. The location was far from a conventional restaurant site. It occupied a former public toilet beneath the railway tracks near Schlesisches Tor station. The unusual setting quickly became part of the brand’s identity. Over the years, Burgermeister expanded...

<title>How to Find a GP in Prague When Practices Aren’t Accepting New Patients</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Finding a general practitioner in Prague can look simple until the first calls begin. One practice does not answer. Another says it is full. A third can offer an appointment, but not in English. Your insurer’s list may not show who is accepting new patients today or what kind of visit is available. If registration is blocked, first clarify whether you need long-term GP care, a one-time consultation, a specialist, an urgent route, or a private self-paid visit. Decide whether this is really a GP problem A GP is often the right first contact for common health concerns, preventive care, prescription questions, basic tests, and referrals. In Czech, this doctor is called a praktický lékař. Not every situation should wait for GP registration. For a sudden and serious health problem or a possible threat to life, call 155 for the medical emergency service or 112 for the European emergency number. If the issue clearly belongs to a dentist, gynaecologist, or specialist, ask that provider whether direct booking is possible or a referral is required. Patients in Czechia can generally approach a specialist without a GP referral, but an individual provider, insurer, or procedure may have its own requirements. Tell the...

<title>Czech Rivers Reach Record Lows as Drought Deepens</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/czech-rivers-reach-record-lows-as-drought-deepens</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Rivers and streams across the Czech Republic are experiencing exceptionally low flows as a prolonged drought continues to worsen, with several waterways approaching or reaching their lowest levels since records began. According to the latest data from the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute, the vast majority of monitored rivers and streams are flowing well below their long-term averages. Some of the country’s smallest watercourses have dried up completely, while critical conditions are emerging on several major rivers. The Elbe is among the most affected. Its flow has fallen to one of the lowest levels ever recorded and is approaching the historic minimum for the entire period of regular observations. The Vltava is in a somewhat better position in some sections because the reservoir system is being regulated to help stabilize water levels. But even the Vltava has reached an unprecedented low in České Budějovice, where the river is recording its lowest measured flow. The effects of the drought are particularly visible at the Orlík Reservoir. As water levels have fallen sharply, the remains of a former hydroelectric power plant at Dubrava have emerged from beneath the reservoir. The plant was built in 1929 but was demolished and flooded in the 1960s when...

<description><![CDATA[ A radio tower installation at Prague’s National Gallery is showcasing local efforts to preserve alternative culture as the Czech government seeks to cut funding to the arts and other public sectors. Created by members of Prague-based Shella Radio, the tower is adorned with fabrics and relics of previous parties hosted in Ankali &amp; Planeta Za, a nightclub that has faced closure due to financial problems. “We believe in the idea of this radio as an amplification of voices that are often neglected in other spaces,” Shania Rodriguez, a Prague-based DJ and Shella radio host, said in an interview. “Here, they can be vocal about the issues and problems within our system and also share ideas of change.” Many artists and curators say the environment for cultural organizations has grown more challenging due to financial cuts by the new right wing government led by Andrej Babiš. The planned budget for this year shrank by 3.9 billion crowns – an almost 20 percent decrease from the previous year, according to the Czech Ministry of Culture. The cuts sparked widespread backlash across the country in April, and many took to the streets. Shella, an Egyptian Arabic slang word meaning “a group of friends...

<title>Czechia Sees Lyme Disease Surge With 90 New Cases a Day</title>
<link>https://pragueexaminer.com/czechia-sees-lyme-disease-surge-with-90-new-cases-a-day</link>
<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/czechia-sees-lyme-disease-surge-with-90-new-cases-a-day</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Lyme disease cases are rising sharply across the Czech Republic, with more than 8,000 infections recorded since the beginning of the year. Health officials warn that the summer peak may not have arrived yet. A total of 8,108 cases were reported through the end of July, according to data from the Czech State Institute of Health (SZÚ). July alone accounted for 2,792 infections, meaning that roughly one in three cases recorded so far this year occurred during the month. Doctors registered an average of about 90 new cases each day in July. The figures are significantly higher than those seen in previous years. Between January and July, the Czech Republic typically recorded between 1,500 and 2,000 Lyme disease cases. Part of the increase may be linked to a change in the way infectious diseases are reported. The number of tick-borne infections depends on several factors, including tick populations and seasonal weather conditions. Climate change is also playing an increasingly important role. The highest numbers of Lyme disease infections have so far been reported in the Central Bohemian and South Moravian regions. The risk is not limited to forests and countryside. Prague’s parks and wooded areas can also provide suitable conditions...

<title>Prague Plans 1.9 Billion Crown Reconstruction of Kasárna Karlín</title>
<link>https://pragueexaminer.com/prague-plans-19-billion-crown-reconstruction-of-kasarna-karlin</link>
<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/prague-plans-19-billion-crown-reconstruction-of-kasarna-karlin</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Prague plans to invest around CZK 1.93 billion, including VAT, to transform Kasárna Karlín into a mixed-use complex with shops, offices, student housing and space for cultural and artistic activities. The city acquired the former military complex in 2023 and has since been working on plans for its long-term redevelopment. Prague City Council has now approved the next step, allowing the city-owned Trade Centre Prague (TCP), which manages the site, to launch a tender for the preparation of the reconstruction project. Construction is scheduled to follow between 2027 and 2032, with the investment financed from Prague’s municipal budget. The first stage will focus on the complex’s main building. A separate building in the courtyard, currently used by the Karlín Barracks Cultural Center, will be addressed in later phases. Deputy Mayor for Territorial and Strategic Development Petr Hlaváček said the reconstruction should open the site to the surrounding neighborhood while preserving its historic character and protected architectural elements. One of the main changes will be to improve access to the courtyard, which currently has just one entrance and is largely hidden from the surrounding streets. Adam Zábranský, Prague’s councilor for property, transparency and legislation, said new passages from the street would...

<title>Explore Holašovice: A UNESCO&#45;Listed Gem with Its Own Stonehenge</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/explore-holasovice-a-unesco-listed-gem-with-its-own-stonehenge</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ For over 20 years, the South Bohemian village of Holašovice has held a place on the UNESCO World Heritage list. Located approximately 16 kilometers west of České Budějovice, this village is famed for its picturesque houses, built in the distinctive Peasant Baroque style. The first recorded mention of Holašovice dates back to the late 13th century. The village has a rich and storied history, marked by events such as the Hussite wars and a devastating plague in the 16th century that significantly reduced the local population. The iconic houses that now define Holašovice were constructed in the latter half of the 19th century, reflecting the Baroque, Rococo, and Classical influences prevalent in South Bohemian architecture of that era. The village’s ethnic composition underwent significant changes during and after World War II. Following the establishment of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, the Czech residents were forced to leave Holašovice, and the village was annexed to the Third Reich. After the war, the German population was expelled, once again altering the village’s demographics. Lada’s Pond and the Czech Stonehenge Despite its turbulent past, Holašovice has retained a unique atmosphere that continues to attract visitors. In addition to its charming houses, tourists...

<title>Non&#45;Alcoholic Beer Sales Rise by More Than 25% in Czechia</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/non-alcoholic-beer-sales-rise-by-more-than-25-in-czechia</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Beer remains a staple of the Czech shopping basket, but new sales data from online supermarket Rohlík shows that drinking habits are gradually changing. Traditional lagers still dominate, while non-alcoholic beer is recording the fastest growth among the main beer categories. The category has grown by more than a quarter over the past year, with Birell among the brands driving the increase. Birell sales alone are up by almost 20%. Together with flavoured beers and radlers, non-alcoholic beer now accounts for close to one-third of all beer sales on Rohlík. Beer from small and regional breweries is also gaining ground, with sales increasing by more than 11%. The biggest decline is being recorded among craft beers grouped by style, including IPA and APA. This is currently the only major beer segment experiencing a year-on-year drop. Czech brands continue to dominate the market. More than nine out of every 10 beers sold through Rohlík are from domestic brands. Imported beers, however, are growing at a faster rate. Their sales have increased by 18% year-on-year. Beer sales peak at the weekend Friday is the busiest day for beer sales, with roughly twice as much beer sold as on Monday. Friday and Saturday...

<title>Where to See the Partial Solar Eclipse in Prague and Across Czechia</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/where-to-see-the-partial-solar-eclipse-in-prague-and-across-czechia</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Skywatchers in the Czech Republic will have two reasons to look up on the night of August 12. A partial solar eclipse will be visible in the evening, followed by favorable conditions for watching the annual Perseid meteor shower. The eclipse will be visible across Czechia shortly before sunset, with the Sun low over the western and northwestern horizon. In Prague, the partial eclipse is expected to begin at about 7:19 p.m., reach its maximum at 8:12 p.m. and end around 8:27 p.m. At the height of the eclipse, the Moon will cover about 86 percent of the Sun’s disk in Prague, making the event particularly noticeable if skies are clear. The eclipse will look different depending on where observers are located. The farther east they are, the later the eclipse will begin and the less of it will be visible. In eastern Czechia and much of Slovakia, the maximum phase will take place after sunset, when the Sun is already below the horizon. The event will be a partial eclipse in Central Europe, while a total solar eclipse will be visible in parts of Greenland, Iceland and Spain. Astronomers and eclipse enthusiasts are expected to travel to those areas...

<title>Prague 7 Plans Floating Swimming Pool on the Vltava in Holešovice</title>
<link>https://pragueexaminer.com/prague-7-plans-floating-swimming-pool-on-the-vltava-in-holesovice</link>
<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/prague-7-plans-floating-swimming-pool-on-the-vltava-in-holesovice</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A floating swimming pool could be built along the Vltava River in Prague’s Holešovice district, near U Vody Park. Prague 7 City Hall is considering using a section of the waterfront near the Port 7 development for the project. The municipality hopes the pool could be ready within three years, although the cost has not yet been determined. The project is still in its early stages. The district is currently looking into whether it could obtain older or unused pontoons and adapt them to create the swimming facility. One of the main questions is where the pool water would come from. Prague 7 is considering both the Vltava and the municipal water supply. The aim would be to use this data to determine when swimming in the river is considered safe. Čižinský has suggested introducing a simple traffic-light system similar to those used in cities such as Copenhagen and Amsterdam, allowing swimmers to see whether conditions are suitable. According to Čižinský, the Vltava generally has good enough water quality for swimming, although conditions can deteriorate after heavy rainfall. Recent measurements support this concern. Prague hygiene officials have been monitoring the water at Branická beach since the beginning of this year....

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/prague-to-restore-tram-service-between-holesovice-and-city-center</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Residents of Prague 7 will regain a tram connection between Holešovice and the city center from September, with tram line 5 set to operate through the district and continue toward Wenceslas Square. The change follows months of pressure from Prague 7 officials and local residents, who have called for better tram connections since the cancellation of line 14. The district had previously requested either the return of line 14 or the introduction of an equivalent service and organized a petition supporting the demand. The new arrangement will initially be temporary. According to the Prague Integrated Transport (PID) system, two trams will operate on the route at least through December 2026. Line 5 to replace temporary route The new service is linked to planned transport changes in Žižkov. Because of a traffic closure there, tram line 34 will be replaced by line 5 in Holešovice. At Holešovice train station, line 5 will connect with line 6, effectively creating a continuous service between the two routes. Trams will run from the station through the Holešovice area, past the market and across Vltavská Street before continuing toward Wenceslas Square and other parts of central Prague. For passengers in Holešovice, the move restores a...

<description><![CDATA[ Live Nation and PPF Group are forming a joint venture that will operate three of Prague’s major event venues — O2 Arena, O2 Universum and Forum Karlín. The companies plan to invest in the venues and upgrade their facilities, with Live Nation set to hold a 51 percent stake in the new company. The agreement will bring together one of the world’s largest live entertainment companies and PPF, the investment group that owns O2 Arena and O2 Universum through its subsidiary Bestsport. PPF has also operated Forum Karlín, which has been owned by Patria Investment Company since last year. The companies announced the planned partnership in a joint statement. Financial details of the transaction and the amount of the planned investment have not been disclosed. The deal remains subject to the required regulatory approvals. Under the agreement, the new operator will be responsible for the day-to-day running of all three venues, including event planning and programming. The venues themselves will remain under their existing ownership structures, and their names will not change. The partners said they intend to invest substantially in the facilities over the coming years. The aim is to improve conditions for audiences and performers while expanding the...

<title>Construction Disrupts Prague Tourists and Businesses During Peak Summer Season</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/construction-disrupts-prague-tourists-and-businesses-during-peak-summer-season</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Construction projects across Prague’s historic center are proving a pain for tourists and locals alike who say the clumps of dirt, building supplies and equipment block popular sites and make it difficult to move around one of Europe’s most visited cities. Heading down Národní to the Charles Bridge or going for a beer near the Vltava river now looks more like a vast construction site where tourists need to look out for more than the cobble-stone streets and baroque spires. “It’s their first time here too, [they’ve] never seen it and now it’s torn up,” said Sherryl, a tourist visiting from the United States with her friends. A major source of the disruption are upgrades to the public transport system. The central tram route delivering travelers to the heart of the city near the Národní Divadlo stop has been shuttered for weeks. The disruption has taken a heavy toll on surrounding businesses like Aggeo, an Italian grocery store along the corridor. Its manager, Irena Kumpová, noted a sharp drop in foot traffic from travelers and regular local customers, who stroll by the National Theater on their way to gaze at the artist David Černý’s famous Kafka head. “I’d rather stay...

<description><![CDATA[ A Czech-Ukrainian rally will take place outside the Russian Embassy in Prague on August 20 to mark the 58th anniversary of the Soviet-led invasion of Czechoslovakia. The event, titled “Ivan, Go Home!”, is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. on Thursday, August 20, at Boris Němcova Square in Prague 6. The rally comes one day before the anniversary of the night of August 20-21, 1968, when troops from five Warsaw Pact countries entered Czechoslovakia to crush the Prague Spring reform movement. The invasion brought an end to the country’s attempt to pursue a more liberal form of socialism and was followed by two decades of political repression and Soviet military presence. The event is being organized jointly by People in Need (Člověk v tísni), Memory of the People (Paměť národa), Million Moments for Democracy (Milion chvilek pro demokracii), and the European Congress of Ukrainians. Organizers say the rally will connect the historical experience of the Soviet occupation with Russia’s ongoing war against Ukraine. Participants will gather to remember those killed or persecuted following the 1968 invasion and the people who lived under the communist regime that followed. The organizers also plan to express support for Ukraine and draw attention to...

<description><![CDATA[ A time capsule containing different items, newspapers and messages documenting life in 2026 has been buried beneath Prague’s reconstructed Wenceslas Square. The capsule was placed on Wednesday, August 5, near the statue of St. Wenceslas as work continues on the upper section of the square. The Prague New Town Association, which is involved in activities around the statue and the surrounding area, organised the ceremony. The date was not originally chosen for its historical significance. Construction work ultimately determined both the day and the location of the burial. But the association later discovered that August 5 also marks the 60th anniversary of the release of the Beatles’ Revolver album. “We were wondering what made August 5 go down in history. Then we found out that it was 60 years ago that the Beatles released their famous album Revolver. So now we are leaving a message here for future generations,” said Monika Vlková, the association’s executive director. The box, measuring 60 by 40 by 23.5 centimetres and weighing about eight kilograms, was then taken to a prepared pit beside the statue. Workers had excavated the hole to a depth of around 1.7 metres, where the capsule was placed before the site...

<description><![CDATA[ Production of Ibelin, a new film based on the life of Norwegian World of Warcraft player Mats Steen, is moving to Prague this summer. Filming is expected to take place at Barrandov Studios from early August through early October, following the production’s spring shoot in Norway. The film is not connected to the 2016 Hollywood movie Warcraft. Instead, it tells the real-life story of Steen, who lived with Duchenne muscular dystrophy and built friendships, relationships and a social life inside the online world of World of Warcraft. The Prague production is reportedly seeking extras for roles including blacksmiths, guards and innkeepers. The casting suggests that parts of the film set in the game’s fictional world could be filmed in the Czech Republic. The producers have not yet officially confirmed which scenes will be shot in Prague. Charlie Plummer leads the cast American actor Charlie Plummer will portray Mats Steen. Toni Collette and Stephen Graham will play his parents, while the supporting cast includes Bill Nighy, Isabela Merced, Maisy Stella, John Bradley and Ivanna Sakhno. The film will be directed by Norwegian filmmaker Morten Tyldum, whose credits include The Imitation Game and the science-fiction film Passengers. At the center of the...

<title>A New Bus Line to Prague Airport Could Launch This Autumn</title>
<link>https://pragueexaminer.com/a-new-bus-line-to-prague-airport-could-launch-this-autumn</link>
<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/a-new-bus-line-to-prague-airport-could-launch-this-autumn</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A new private bus service could soon connect Prague’s main railway station directly with Václav Havel Airport, offering passengers another option for getting between the city center and the airport. Transport company Dinarica is planning to launch the service at the end of October. The route would run between the main railway station and the airport, providing a direct alternative to the Airport Express operated by České dráhy. The company says it wants to address one of the main practical problems passengers face when travelling by bus to the airport — luggage storage. Dinarica plans to use Setra and MAN buses equipped with air conditioning, seat belts and more spacious seating. Each vehicle will accommodate between 70 and 90 passengers. The planned service would operate from morning until evening, with buses running approximately every two hours. A one-way ticket is expected to cost around CZK 125, making the service considerably cheaper than the Airport Express. Its fare is set to rise to CZK 200 following the latest price increase. Prague’s public transport system already offers cheaper ways to reach the airport. Trolleybus 59 and bus 100 connect Václav Havel Airport with the Prague public transport network, but neither provides a...

<title>Prague Kettlebell Brand Železná Koule Opens 600&#45;Square&#45;Metre Gym in Karlín</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Czech kettlebell training brand Železná Koule has opened its largest location yet at Danube House in Prague’s Karlín district. The new 600-square-metre gym expands the brand’s presence in Prague and comes ahead of the next edition of its flagship Amazing 12 fitness programme. Železná Koule has built a community around kettlebell training and coached workouts rather than the traditional self-service gym model. The company says more than 20,000 people have trained through its programmes since its launch. At its Karlín location, members train under the guidance of coaches in small groups. The approach is designed to provide more personal instruction and a structured training environment, rather than simply giving members access to gym equipment. The new location is also the latest venue for the company’s Amazing 12 programme, a 12-week fitness and body transformation course that combines regular training with nutrition guidance and ongoing support. What is the Amazing 12 programme? The programme is aimed at both people who are new to structured strength training and more experienced gym-goers looking for a more organised approach to their workouts. Although the programme itself lasts 12 weeks, participants first complete a preparation week, making 13 weeks in total. During the programme, they...

<description><![CDATA[ Filming for the American series Birdwatcher will take place at the Prague 7 tax office on Kapitána Jaroše Embankment from August 8 to 24, bringing temporary restrictions to the area. The production will use the tax office building at Kapitána Jaroše Embankment 1000/7, while part of the sidewalk outside the building will be closed to accommodate filming equipment. The restrictions will not affect the normal operation of the tax office. Drivers should also expect temporary parking restrictions on nearby Na Ovčinách Street. Vehicles will still be allowed to pass through the street, but parking will be prohibited during the designated filming periods. The restrictions will not be in force continuously throughout the filming period. They will apply only on specific dates, with Prague 7 publishing a map showing the affected areas and individual dates on its website.

<title>Czechia Tightens Temporary Protection Rules for Ukrainian Men Aged 23 to 60</title>
<link>https://pragueexaminer.com/czechia-tightens-temporary-protection-rules-for-ukrainian-men-aged-23-to-60</link>
<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/czechia-tightens-temporary-protection-rules-for-ukrainian-men-aged-23-to-60</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ New rules affecting Ukrainian men seeking temporary protection in the Czech Republic will take effect on August 5, 2026. Under the changes, men aged 23 to 60 applying for temporary protection will have to demonstrate that they are exempt from military service in Ukraine. The requirement will apply to new applications and certain other applications for protection, but not to people who already hold valid temporary protection. The Czech Interior Ministry says the new rules follow an EU Council decision published in the Official Journal of the European Union on August 4. The decision also extends temporary protection for people fleeing Russia’s war in Ukraine until March 31, 2028. For applicants aged 23 to 60, military registration documents will be checked as part of the application process. Applicants will use Ukraine’s Reserv+ system to demonstrate their military status, with the electronic military registration document showing whether they are exempt from military service. The rules are different for younger applicants. People aged 18 to 22 will only need to demonstrate that they are registered in the Reserv+ system. The new requirement concerns people applying for temporary protection for the first time, as well as repeat applications and applications connected with family...

<description><![CDATA[ Prague has become home to the first Martini Terrazza in Central Europe, with the Italian drinks brand opening a new rooftop venue at the Máj Národní department store. The summer terrace is located on the Fly Vista rooftop, offering cocktails, food and views across the Prague skyline. The concept is designed around the Italian aperitivo tradition and is intended as a seasonal meeting place during the summer months. Martini Terrazza venues have previously appeared in other European cities and holiday destinations. The Prague location brings the same format to the Czech capital, combining the brand’s drinks with music, themed evenings and social events. The drinks menu includes several Martini-based cocktails, including Martini Bianco Spritz, Martini Fiero &amp; Tonic and the Americano. Visitors can also order non-alcoholic Martini Spritz options, alongside a selection of food designed to accompany the drinks. The terrace is scheduled to remain open throughout the summer season. Martini has been associated with the Italian aperitivo tradition for more than 160 years. In the Czech Republic, the brand is distributed by Coca-Cola HBC Czech Republic and Slovakia. “Prague has become the home of the first Martini Terrazza in Central Europe,” said Kateřina Valoušková, Martini Brand Manager at Coca-Cola...

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/inside-the-mind-a-conversation-with-neuropsychologist-helena-reina-calzado</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ For many people, years of struggling with concentration, memory, or organisation are dismissed as personality traits or everyday stress. It is often only when life becomes more demanding that they begin to wonder whether something else is going on. That is where Helena Reina Calzado comes in. A clinical psychologist and neuropsychologist based in Prague, Helena works with English- and Spanish-speaking patients, providing neuropsychological assessment and cognitive intervention for children, adolescents, and adults experiencing difficulties with attention, memory, executive functioning, and other cognitive abilities. “Neuropsychology studies the relationship between the brain and behaviour,” Helena explains. “We look at how someone thinks, processes information, pays attention, and solves problems, and then use that understanding to guide assessment and treatment.” Neuropsychological assessment focuses on cognitive functioning. The process typically begins with a detailed clinical interview, followed by standardised tests tailored to the person’s specific concerns. When appropriate, neuropsychological intervention aims to improve everyday cognitive functioning and help patients adapt to daily challenges. One of the most common reasons people seek her help is a long history of unexplained difficulties that have never been fully understood. “I often see adults who have spent years developing strategies to cope with attention or learning difficulties...

<description><![CDATA[ Taiwanese carrier STARLUX Airlines has launched its first European route, connecting Taipei with Prague. The airline’s first flight arrived at Václav Havel Airport Prague on Saturday morning after a journey of more than 14 hours. The service is initially being operated with an Airbus A350-900. STARLUX plans to operate the Prague-Taipei route three times a week at first, with a fourth weekly service scheduled to be added from October. For passengers traveling beyond Taiwan, the route also offers connections through Taipei to more than 25 destinations across Asia. These include cities in Japan and South Korea, as well as destinations in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Macau, according to Simon Liu, STARLUX Airlines’ director of strategy. The new route makes Prague the airline’s first European destination. STARLUX launched operations only in 2020, two years after the company was founded, but has since positioned itself as a premium international carrier. Skytrax has awarded the airline a five-star rating.

<title>More Than Half of Czech Households Could Be Overpaying for Electricity</title>
<link>https://pragueexaminer.com/more-than-half-of-czech-households-could-be-overpaying-for-electricity</link>
<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/more-than-half-of-czech-households-could-be-overpaying-for-electricity</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A large number of Czech households may be paying more for electricity than necessary because they are using a distribution tariff that does not match their actual consumption. A new analysis estimates that switching to a more suitable tariff could save households more than CZK 1.3 billion a year in total. The analysis was conducted by energy company bezDodavatele. The company examined electricity consumption at 1,132 household consumption points using the two most common household distribution tariffs, D01d and D02d. According to data from the Energy Regulatory Office (ERÚ), D01d and D02d are used by around 65 percent of the approximately 6.5 million household consumption points in the Czech Republic. The analysis found that changing the distribution tariff could reduce electricity costs for more than half of the households examined. Many households never reconsider their tariff One reason is that households often keep the same tariff for years without checking whether it still suits their electricity consumption. A tariff that made sense when a household first connected to the electricity grid may no longer be the cheapest option after its consumption patterns have changed. Many consumers, however, do not regularly review the distribution tariff listed on their electricity bill. According...

<description><![CDATA[ Dutch DJ and producer Tiësto is returning to Prague on August 23, with a performance scheduled at DupleX Prague. One of the most recognizable names in electronic music, Tiësto has been a major figure in the international dance scene for more than two decades. His Prague appearance will bring him back to the city for another night at the popular rooftop club in the centre of Prague. The event is expected to feature a mix of Tiësto’s well-known tracks and newer material, alongside the production and atmosphere that have become a regular part of his live shows. Tiësto, whose real name is Tijs Verwest, began his career in the Dutch club scene before becoming internationally known through his work in trance music. Over the years, his sound has developed considerably, moving towards house, EDM and more mainstream dance music. He has since performed at some of the world’s largest festivals and venues and worked with a wide range of artists. His music has also reached audiences well beyond the traditional electronic music scene, helping establish him as one of the genre’s most commercially successful artists. Tickets are on sale through the official DupleX website. New album Tiësto is working on...

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/czech-pm-calls-for-closing-schengen-to-spain-due-to-migration-crisis-in-ceuta</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš called for temporarily excluding Spain from Schengen due to the migration crisis in Ceuta, where about 49,000 migrants entered uncontrollably from Morocco. Italy has already suspended Schengen rules in connection with Spain. Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš called for closing the Schengen zone to Spain after a sharp escalation of the migration crisis in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. According to Babiš, the situation in Ceuta is “absolutely scandalous,” and the cause of the crisis was the overly lenient migration policy of the Spanish authorities. According to the publication, since Thursday, about 49,000 migrants have entered Ceuta uncontrollably from the territory of Morocco. At least 19 people have died trying to cross the maritime border. Foreign Minister Petr Macinka (Motorists) described the situation as a serious challenge for the entire Schengen Area but stopped short of calling for Spain’s exclusion, saying he wanted to hear Madrid’s position before drawing conclusions. What is the Schengen Agreement? The Schengen Area allows people to travel between 29 European countries without routine passport checks at internal borders. While border controls are normally abolished, member states can temporarily reinstate them if they believe there is a serious threat to public...

<description><![CDATA[ Spanish coach Santi Denia took over the Czech Republic national team on Friday to become the first foreigner in the post. The Czech soccer association said the 52-year-old signed a two-year contract with an option to be extended by another two years. Czech football association head David Trunda introduced Denia at a news conference in Prague. “We greatly appreciate that an expert with such a credit and immense experience at the international level is joining the Czech national team,” Trunda said. “I’m happy to be here and I’m extremely motivated, because I consider it a great opportunity to lead the Czech national team,” Denia said. “Czech football has a magnificent history and I honestly regard it as a great honor to be here.” Denia replaced Miroslav Koubek who resigned after the team’s early exit from the World Cup. Denia was a center-back in Atletico Madrid (1994-2005) and has two games on the national team to his credit. As coach, he led Spain to gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics. He also claimed the European titles with Spain´s under-17 (2017) and under-19 teams (2019). He was most recently in charge of Al-Shahania, a club in Qatar. His first major task in...

<title>Revolut Opens Private Market Funds to Czech Investors</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/revolut-opens-private-market-funds-to-czech-investors</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Revolut is expanding its investment services in the Czech Republic, giving retail customers access to funds focused on private equity, private credit and infrastructure. The new products will become available in the Revolut app from July 31. The fintech has signed distribution agreements with four major asset managers — Apollo, Ares, Hamilton Lane and Partners Group — which collectively manage more than $2.8 trillion in assets. The move gives Czech retail investors access to parts of the private markets that have traditionally been aimed largely at institutional investors. Private market investments have often required substantial minimum commitments, frequently above €100,000, or around CZK 2.5 million. Revolut’s new offering is designed to lower that barrier and allow customers to add private assets to portfolios that may already include stocks, bonds and exchange-traded funds. Investments will be available directly through the Revolut app. The funds will be offered through the European Long-Term Investment Fund framework, known as ELTIF 2.0. How ELTIF 2.0 works The structure is intended to provide investors with greater flexibility than traditional private equity funds, where capital can remain committed for several years and withdrawals may not be possible during that period.

<description><![CDATA[ People looking for relief from the heat in central Prague can use the air-conditioned ground floor of the Škoda Palace in Jungmannova Street on Thursday and Friday. The city has opened the space to the public as temperatures across the Czech Republic are expected to rise well above 30°C. The building will be accessible from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on both days. Visitors can sit on benches and chairs, refill their water bottles at drinking fountains and use the toilets. Drinks and snacks are also available for purchase. The measure comes as the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute has warned of very high temperatures in parts of the country. Forecasters are advising people to drink regularly, stay out of direct sunlight where possible and avoid strenuous physical activity, particularly during the afternoon. The Czech Republic is facing several days of intense heat, with Friday expected to be among the hottest day of the current spell. Temperatures above 35°C are possible in some areas. Individual Prague districts are taking similar steps. Prague 3, for example, plans to make air-conditioned areas in its town hall, information centre and Žižkostel available to the public when temperatures are forecast to exceed 35°C. Visitors will be...

<title>Prague Pride Strengthens Security Measures Following Berlin Attack</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/prague-pride-strengthens-security-measures-following-berlin-attack</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Security will be tightened at this year’s Prague Pride festival following a deadly attack at a similar event in Berlin. Czech police are preparing additional measures to protect participants in the week-long festival, which begins Monday. The measures will also reflect changes to this year’s festival route and venue. Prague Pride is moving its main festival area from Letná Plain to Štvanice Island. The traditional Saturday parade will also follow a new route, starting in the lower section of Wenceslas Square, continuing through the historic center and ending at Štvanice. Organizers will begin the parade with a minute of silence on Wenceslas Square to remember the person killed in the Berlin attack. “Thousands of people standing in silence will be a reminder that we will definitely not remain silent about violence motivated by prejudice,” Prague Pride director Kamila Fröhlichová said. This year’s Prague Pride will feature more than 100 cultural, educational and social events. Dozens of associations, institutions, companies and individuals will organize programs at venues across the capital. While many events will focus on the lives and experiences of LGBTQ+ people, the festival will also address wider questions surrounding human rights and civil society. A full program is available...

<title>On this Day, in 1419: the First Defenestration of Prague</title>
<link>https://pragueexaminer.com/on-this-day-in-1419-the-first-defenestration-of-prague</link>
<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/on-this-day-in-1419-the-first-defenestration-of-prague</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Six hundred years ago, an angry crowd stormed Prague’s New Town Hall and threw several royal councillors from its windows. The attack, known as the First Defenestration of Prague, took place on July 30, 1419, and is widely regarded as the event that ignited the Hussite Wars—a conflict that transformed medieval Bohemia and left a lasting mark on Czech history. Yet the violence that unfolded that summer day had been years in the making. Its roots lay in the teachings of Jan Hus, a Czech theologian, university lecturer, and religious reformer who became one of the most influential figures of the late Middle Ages. Hus openly criticized corruption within the Catholic Church, particularly the sale of indulgences and the growing power of the church hierarchy. Rather than viewing the Church as an institution led by the pope and bishops, he argued that the true Church was the community of faithful believers. Summoned before the Council of Constance in 1415 to defend his beliefs, Hus was arrested despite receiving a promise of safe conduct. After refusing to renounce his teachings, he was convicted of heresy and burned at the stake. His execution outraged many across Bohemia. While members of the nobility...

<title>Hundreds of Czech Castles and Chateaus to Offer Free Entry on Two Special Days</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/hundreds-of-czech-castles-and-chateaus-to-offer-free-entry-on-two-special-days</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Visitors will be able to explore more than 100 state-managed castles, chateaus, monasteries, and other historic landmarks across Czechia free of charge on August 30 and September 27. The initiative follows a spring pilot program that granted free admission to selected state museums and galleries. According to the Ministry, strong public interest in that campaign encouraged officials to extend the concept to historic monuments managed by the National Heritage Institute (NPÚ). The free admission will apply to the standard sightseeing route at each participating site, along with selected additional visitor circuits where available. Tours will operate under normal conditions, meaning visitor numbers will remain limited and capacity restrictions will continue to apply. The National Heritage Institute is expected to publish a complete list of participating sites, opening hours, reservation requirements, and visitor information on its website in the coming days. The latest initiative builds on an earlier trial introduced this spring. Between April and June, visitors were granted free entry on selected Sundays to five of the country’s largest state museums: the National Museum in Prague, the Moravian Museum in Brno, the Silesian Museum in Opava, the National Technical Museum in Prague, and the Technical Museum in Brno. According to...

<title>Babiš Warns Czechia Could Become Net EU Payer by 2029 as Contributions Surge</title>

<description><![CDATA[ The Czech prime minister also said Brussels is likely to permit a larger budget deficit as Prague seeks funding for hospitals, highways, and other domestic investment. Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš has expressed alarm over the country’s rapidly increasing payments to the European Union, warning that the Czech Republic could become a net contributor to the bloc as early as 2029. Following talks with Finance Minister Alena Schillerová, Babiš said Czech payments into the EU budget had risen by 22 billion crowns (€911 million) this year alone. “I was shocked by how much we are paying into the European Union,” he said, as cited by Echo24. “If in one year we are told that we will pay 22 billion more, that is a lot.” Officials currently expect the Czech Republic to become a net contributor to the EU budget for the first time in its history in either 2029 or 2030. Babiš was also asked about next year’s state budget deficit. When asked whether it would exceed this year’s planned shortfall of 310 billion crowns (€12.8 billion), he replied, “Don’t test me. I don’t know what the deficit will be.” Schillerová said a reliable estimate would only be possible after...

<title>From Old Town to Main Station: Tourist Charged €150 for Short Taxi Ride</title>
<link>https://pragueexaminer.com/from-old-town-to-main-station-tourist-charged-150-for-short-taxi-ride</link>
<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/from-old-town-to-main-station-tourist-charged-150-for-short-taxi-ride</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A tourist has reported an alleged taxi scam in Prague, claiming that a journey from Old Town Square to Prague Main Railway Station ended with an unexpectedly high fare and a disputed payment. The incident reportedly took place on July 25 at around 16:15. According to the complaint, the driver charged CZK 980 for the ride, an amount the passenger said was far higher than the expected price for such a short distance. The tourist claims that the driver refused to accept payment by card and requested cash instead. “I paid him 100 Euros for the fare. He just took the note, swapped it and lied to me saying what I gave was 100 in Czech currency, and demanded me to pay the remaining 50 euro taxi fare,” the tourist said in his complaint. “So I paid the initial 100 euro that was swapped, plus the 50 euro taxi fare.” According to the passenger, the total amount paid for the ride was therefore €150 (over 3,600 CZK). He said he was rushing to catch a train to Bratislava and was unable to resolve the dispute at the scene. The tourist also claimed that no receipt was provided after the payment....

<title>Nearly One in Five Prague Farmers’ Market Vendors Fail Veterinary Inspections</title>
<link>https://pragueexaminer.com/nearly-one-in-five-prague-farmers-market-vendors-fail-veterinary-inspections</link>
<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/nearly-one-in-five-prague-farmers-market-vendors-fail-veterinary-inspections</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Nearly one in five vendors inspected at Prague’s farmers’ markets during the first half of 2026 were found to have breached food safety or labeling regulations, according to the State Veterinary Administration (SVS). Between January and June, veterinary inspectors checked 53 vendors across Prague and identified violations in 10 cases, representing almost 19 percent of all inspections. Nationwide, inspectors carried out 165 inspections, with irregularities detected in 27 cases, or roughly 16 percent. Officials said the most common problems in Prague involved improper storage temperatures for food of animal origin, incorrect or incomplete product labeling, and inadequate protection of food from contamination during sale. Inspectors also highlighted several cases they considered particularly serious. In one instance, a vendor was found producing meat products without the legally required authorization while packaging them with the identification mark of a production facility that no longer exists. Authorities said such practices can mislead consumers about where products originate. The SVS warned that food safety risks increase during the summer months, especially at outdoor markets where high temperatures make it more difficult to maintain proper cooling conditions. Across the Czech Republic, labeling violations were the most frequently recorded offense this year, accounting for 26 cases....

<description><![CDATA[ Just off Old Town Square, past the cafes and the crowds waiting for the Astronomical Clock, sits a museum that started almost by accident. Today, IAM Prague has welcomed well over 1 million visitors from around the world and has held TripAdvisor’s Travelers’ Choice Award for five straight years. From Shopping Malls to Old Town Square The museum wasn’t originally supposed to be a… museum. Co-founder Jakub Bechyně and his partner Patrik Proško had been running a traveling illusion exhibit that moved between shopping malls, renting space for a month at a time before packing up and relocating. It worked, but it wasn’t permanent. Then, in 2017, the owner of a building on Old Town Square approached them with an idea: turn part of it into a museum. The catch was the timeline. They wanted it open in two months. Rather than build something from scratch, the team pulled from what they already had on the shelf, opening with one floor and sixteen exhibits in 2018. The collection has grown to more than 60 pieces since.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Illusion Art Museum Prague (@iamprague) The museum moved to its current location in...

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/czech-company-enters-fortune-global-500-for-the-first-time</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A Czech company has entered the Fortune Global 500 ranking for the first time in history. Energy and industrial group EP Group (EPG), controlled by Czech businessman Daniel Křetínský, placed 179th in the latest edition of the prestigious list of the world’s largest companies by revenue. The ranking, published annually by the U.S. business magazine Fortune, evaluates companies based on their total sales. EP Group reported revenues of $75.387 billion, equivalent to around CZK 1.6 trillion. To put the figure into perspective, the Czech state budget expects total revenues of CZK 2.118 trillion this year. EP Group’s portfolio includes stakes in major companies across Europe, including British postal operator Royal Mail, Slovak energy producer Slovenské elektrárne, German retail chain Metro and French energy giant TotalEnergies. With its debut in the ranking, EP Group has also placed Prague among the headquarters of the world’s largest corporations. The Czech capital is now one of 242 cities worldwide where at least one Fortune Global 500 company is based. Only 14 other countries in the Fortune Global 500 ranking have a single representative, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Poland, Austria and Thailand. EP Group is also among a very small number of newcomers. Only 13...

<description><![CDATA[ The president of the Czech Republic, Petr Pavel, has made his way to the Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix on Sunday – but was not an official visit. Ever wondered what world leaders do in their free time? For Czech Republic president Petr Pavel, the answer is sports photography – and he’s particularly passionate about motorsport. This weekend, he was attending the Hungarian GP with a full photography kit – and an official FIA accreditation. He arrived at the Hungaroring for Saturday’s sessions and was already taking pictures, accompanied by Czech F1 photographer Jiri Krenek. This wasn’t the first time he was seen at a major motorsport event as a hobby photographer. Most recently, Pavel travelled to France in June to attend the Le Mans 24 Hours, once again equipped with full camera gear. In fact, the former NATO Military Chairman has attended several races on both two and four wheels over the years. Within the Czech Republic, Pavel covered the MotoGP and World Superbike events at Brno, while he has travelled as far as the US and Saudi Arabia to photograph NASCAR and the Dakar Rally respectively. Last year, he also raised nearly 30,000 euros for a charity dedicated...

<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.

<title>Prague Compared to 11 European Cities: Housing, Jobs, Transport,</title>

<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...

<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...

<title>Spicy, Not Spicy: How This Chef Is Bringing Authentic Chinese Street Food to Prague</title>

<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>
<link>https://pragueexaminer.com/five-things-to-know-before-flying-from-prague-airport-this-summer</link>
<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...

<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...

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/look-up-jas-39-gripen-jets-to-fly-over-prague-on-wednesday</guid>
<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...

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...

<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,...

<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...

<title>Czech Government in Talks to Buy Israeli Air Defense Systems</title>

<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. Both required resuscitation, which was continued by our teams after arrival. One patient’s vital functions were restored and the person...

<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...

<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...

<title>New Ranking Puts Prague Among the Top 10 City for Expats</title>

<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:...

<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...

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/sunrise-parade-to-commemorate-669th-anniversary-of-charles-bridge</guid>
<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.

<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>
<link>https://pragueexaminer.com/prague-plans-8000-municipal-apartments-to-ease-housing-crisis</link>
<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,...

<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>
<link>https://pragueexaminer.com/prague-wont-raise-public-transport-fares-even-as-costs-grow</link>
<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,...

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/new-groovy-market-fest-brings-barcelona-vibe-to-prague</guid>
<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...

<title>Scabies Infections Surge in Prague During First Half of the Year</title>

<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>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/prague-enters-global-top-ten-for-congress-tourism-market</guid>
<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>
<link>https://pragueexaminer.com/more-than-cocktails-the-story-behind-the-iconic-tretters-prague</link>
<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/more-than-cocktails-the-story-behind-the-iconic-tretters-prague</guid>
<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...

<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...

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/more-than-120000-german-job-cuts-put-pressure-on-czech-industrial-sector</guid>
<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...

<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...

<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>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/prague-has-756-cars-for-every-1000-residents-and-the-number-is-still-rising</guid>
<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...

<description><![CDATA[ Around one fifth of Czech weather stations recorded a tropical night from Friday into Saturday, with temperatures staying above 20 degrees Celsius until morning, the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute has said. 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...

<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...

<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>

<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...

<title>Czech President Sues Prime Minister Babiš Over NATO Attendance</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/czech-president-sues-prime-minister-babis-over-nato-attendance</guid>
<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[ One of Prague’s best-known summer events is set to return to Kampa this July, bringing together French food, wine, music and culture in the heart of the city. From July 14 to 19, Kampa will once again host the annual French Market, bringing six days of regional food, wine, music and cultural events to the heart of Malá Strana..

<title>Czech Republic Enters Race to Host European AI Gigafactory</title>

<guid>https://pragueexaminer.com/czech-republic-enters-race-to-host-european-ai-gigafactory</guid>
<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...

<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...

<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>

<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...
