facts & info

[→]WELCOME TO PRAGUE!

arriving

Welcome to Prague! Whether you‘ve just landed with plane, arrived by train, bus or car, we have very important information about how to get to the city centre using all possible types of transport, without wasting more money than it’s necessary.

8

↓1. PRAGUE BY PLANE The airport is located on the northwest edge of Prague, about 20 kilometres (12 miles) from the centre of the metropolis. Your money can be changed in the currency exchange offices or kiosks situated in the airport. Important phone numbers include +420 220 111 888 (General info line - nonstop operation) and +420 220 115 005 (Lost and Found service).

↓ HOW TO GET TO THE CITY CENTER If you‘ve just arrived at the airport, getting to the centre will take about twenty to thirty minutes depending on traffic (if you use a taxi or shuttle service you will find necessary information below).

If you choose cheaper but less convenient public transport you have to expect fifty minutes on the road.

↓...BY PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION The bus is the cheapest way to get to the city centre. The disadvantage may be that you need to buy a bus ticket paid in Czech crowns or with credit card. To get the cash, you can use ATMs in the arrival halls of the airport. Or you can buy the actual ticket directly in a kiosk or at the information counter in both arrival halls (open from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.). Furthermore, in the vending machines, located next to the bus stop, or directly from the bus driver (it will cost you a few crowns more). The ticket price is 32 CZK for a transfer ticket, with which you can freely switch among bus, tram and subway for 90 minutes. On the shorter distance and duration of 30 minutes you can use the ticket for 24 CZK (with this ticket, however, it is not allowed to switch among the types of transport). If you have more luggages, you will pay 16 Czech crowns extra.

BUS # 119 This is the most likely choice for most people because the BUS # 119 provides the fastest connec

BUS # 100 BUS # 100 connects the airport with the subway line B, get off at the final stop, which is called Zličín. BUS # 100 runs every 15 minutes throughout the day and every 30 minutes after 7 p.m. The ride takes about 18 minutes, but expect another 20-minute subway ride, if your goal is to get to the city centre (Zličín is the final stop of subway line B). Bus runs 5:41 a.m. to 11:36 p.m. hours.

AIRPORT EXPRESS BUS Airport Express Bus service connects the airport with the Prague‘s Main Railway Station and runs every 30 minutes and the journey takes about 35 minutes. You can use the Prague public transport fares or special fares: Tickets for AE can be bought only from the driver for 60 crowns (no additional charge for luggage). AE runs 5:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.

TRAVELLING AT NIGHT If you have to use public transport at night, the best option is the BUS # 510, which runs between midnight and 3:26 a.m. and connects the air-

-port with stop at Divoká Šárka. Afterwards take the TRAM # 51 which will go to the city centre. Night BUS # 510 runs every 30 minutes.

↓...BY TAXI Companies of Taxi Praha and FIX are managing the taxi service from the Václav Havel Airport. Customers can enjoy free Wi-Fi, ensured availability of cars within 5 minutes of interest order in 24 hours a day, maximally 3-years old cars, advanced language skills of drivers, friendly demeanour, maintaining cleanliness and representative wear of vehicle drivers. Labelled taxis are waiting at the Václav Havel airport in two places – at Terminal 1 at the parking lot P1 EXPRESS and at Terminal 2 at the parking lot P2 EXPRESS - departures. Prices are not burdened with airport charges and therefore are considerably lower, while maintaining a high comfort of vehicles.

One-time departure rate is 40 CZK and 1 km will cost 23.90 CZK (order taxi through dispatch call 14 014, +420 222 333 222, 729 331 133).

2. GETTING TO PRAGUE BY TRAIN International trains stop at the central train station - Prague Main Railway Station. The station is directly connected to the subway station (line C), and is just a few steps away from the city centre, from Wenceslas Square. If you drive here after dark, we recommend you to go to Wenceslas Square subway (do not forget to buy a ticket). Most of the station is renovated and offers a modern look with plenty of stalls, shops and fast-food restaurants.

tion to the historic city centre. Depending on the time of day, the bus runs every 7-20 minutes and gets you to subway line A. After boarding remember to „click“ the ticket. Get off at the station Veleslavín (journey from the airport to the subway takes about 15 minutes). Subway entrance is located few steps from the bus stop. The bus runs from 4:23 a.m. until 11:45 p.m. at night.

Long-term tickets: 24-hour ticket: 120 CZK 72-hour (3-day) ticket: 330 CZK

Prague, like most European cities, suffers from very heavy traffic and lack of freely available parking spaces (the street with blue coloured areas are reserved for residents and you risk stripping off your car when you park there).

That is why we recommend the use so-called P + R (Park and Ride) parking lot, located close to all major highways.

CHRÁM MATKY BOŽÍ PŘED TÝNEM

PRAGUE 1, STAROMĚSTSKÉ NÁMĚSTÍ

Mother of God Church Before Thine (Kostel Matky Boží v před Týnem) is located in the Old Town of Prague, close to Old Town Square. Its construction ran from the mind-14th century to the first decades of the 16th century.

It is among Prague´s most artistically important churches, architecturaland its surviving internal mobilizer. Its western front, applying towards the square, is one of Prague‘s most famous dominants.

PRAŠNÁ BRÁNA

PRAGUE 1, NÁMĚSTÍ REPUBLIKY 5

The Powder Gate (Prašná brána) is a late-Gothic structure and one of the most important monuments of medieval Prague. It was here that the Royal Route began and where one of the main roads from Kutná Hora, where silver was mined into the royal treasury, led. The Powder Gate was built in place of the older Gate tower, related to the fortification of the Old Town of Prague from the time of Václav II‘s reign. The older tower was known as the Mountain Gate.The Powder Gate was designed largely as a representative symbol as well as a customs collection point.

STAROMĚSTSKÝ ORLOJ PRAGUE 1, STAROMĚTSKÉ NÁMĚSTÍ

The Old Town Square of the Old Town Orloj (Staroměstský orloj) are medieval astronomical clocks located on the south side of the Old Town Hall tower in Prague.

The first written reference to Orloj dates back to 1410.The clock is made up of several parts - apart from an astronomical and calendar plate, it is fitted with the mechanism of twelve apostles, who appear in two small windows every entire hour (9.00 - 11p.m.). In a parade of apostles, another mannequin on the sides of the clock comes alive in mechanical motion - the reaper ringing, turning the hourglass, indicating to thestanding Turk that his time is up.

He‘s shaking his head away. Vanity and Lakomec behave similarly. The sought-after Orloj is part of the historic centre of Prague,belonging to the UNESCO list of cultural monuments.

iconic buildings

For over 1000 years, Prague has served as the political, cultural and economic centre of the Czech state. Having been the seat of two Holy Roman Emperors during the gothic and renaissance periods, it also had the status of the Holy Roman Empire capital. Prague’s history commenced in the year 870, although evidence shows the area had been inhabited since the Stone Age. The city flourished during the 14th century, under the reign of King Charles IV, who, among other deeds, ordered the building of the famous Charles Bridge or Saint Vitus Cathedral, the oldest gothic cathedral in central Europe, and Charles University, the oldest university in central Europe. Prague was then the third-largest city in Europe. Now home to some 1.2 million inhabitants, Prague became the capital of the newly set up Czechoslovakia in 1918, with the end of WW I and the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

In 1992, Prague’s historic center became a UNESCO world heritage site, and is currently one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations.

CHARLES BRIDGE

what you need to see

Karlův most, Prague 1

The Czech Republic’s capital is full of amazing sights of great value. But Charles Bridge definitely belongs among the TOP 5 most amazing ones. Not only is this medieval building one of the most famous bridges in the world, but it is also inseparably connected to the most glamorous era of Prague and – last but not least – it just might be the most beautiful bridge in Europe. And we are not exaggerating at all. Charles Bridge is 516 meters long, 9.5 meters wide, 13 meters high, and stands on 15 pillars. It’s also the part of the so-called Royal Route.

JEWISH MUSEUM U staré školy 141/1, Josefov, Prague 1 www.jewishmuseum.cz

12

The Prague´s Jewish Museum was founded in 1906. It was founded by Dr. Salomon Hugo Lieben, historian, and Dr. August Stein, a representative of the Czech-Jewish movement and later chairman of the Prague Jewish Community.

It was supposed to collect documents on the history, traditions and habits of the Jewish population in Bohemia and Moravia.

The Jewish Museum owns rich collections of silver, textiles and has one of the most extensive Jewish artefacts in the world.

It contains 40 000 artefacts and 100 000 books. It is unique not only for the number of the artefacts, but above all for the fact that they were collected in a single integral territory, i.e. Bohemia and Moravia.

THE NATIONAL MEMORIAL SITE AT VÍTKOV, PRAGUE Národní památník na Vítkově, Prague 3 Phone: +420 224 497 607, www.nm.cz

It is one of the most dominant landmarks of the modern city of Prague and a national cultural monument situated just above steep slopes of the Žižkov hill. An integral part of the Memorial is the largest equestrian sculpture in Central Europe, of Jan Žižka of Trocnov, created by the sculptor Bohumil Kafka. The Memorial was built in 1929-1938 to honour those who participated in the struggle for the establishment of the Czechoslovak Republic (the National Liberation Memorial). During the Nazi of occupation in 1939-1945, it served as a military material warehouse.

It was modified and extended once more after 1945. After 1948, it was misused for the Communist regime propaganda.

Vodičkova 18, Prague 1 Phone.:+420 221 097 111 www.praha1.cz

A small romantic island called Kampa positioned on the Vltava River in the centre of Prague is scenic place offering a walk among small ancient picturesque houses. In fact it is not a natural island as it was separated from the Lesser Town by an artificial mill raceway called Čertovka (Devil´s Creek). The group of houses among which the Čertovka flows is known as the Prague´s Venice. Natural alluvial deposits and made up grounds material, gradually extended the area of the island especially after the great fire of the Lesser Town and the Castle in 1541.

Many people do not have any idea hat almost in the centre of Prague there is a small town with its own poetry and identity. The Nový Svět area is a kind of a small district in the immediate vicinity of the Prague Castle, full of picturesque corners and harmony. Actually, it was a suburb of the Castle Area (Hradčany) that was founded in the mid-14th century along an old road heading the village of Střešovice. In 1360, it became a part of Hradčany by decision of the emperor Charles IV. It was integrated to the designed city fortification system. The origin of this part of Hradčany is not exactly known, but it was probably a forecourt of the Prague Castle positioned on a gradually filled ravine and the Brusnice stream valley.

MORTAL KOMBAT II Let’s be honest: the first installment of the Mortal Kombat reboot, which hit theaters in 2021, was far from a knockout. It opened with a stunning sequence set in feudal Japan, but after that delivered only middling action, occasionally sliced—quite literally—by a well-crafted fatality. Not to mention a main character who, frankly, had little to do with the games. Still, the rest of the film provided plenty of solid fan service.

Although the first film was far from perfect, it gave fans of the franchise enough to start demanding a sequel. That sequel is now here, and the filmmakers have clearly taken the criticism of the original to heart.

While the second movie follows on from the first, it partly resets some of the rules. Last time we watched fights happening everywhere but in an official tournament—this time, that’s not going to be the case. The main hero is no longer Cole Young (a character invented solely for the first film and absent from the games), but the legendary Johnny Cage. Even better, he’s played by fan favorite Karl Urban (Dredd, The Boys), so we can be confident the lead won’t lack charisma. Young still has a role in the sto-

ry, but he’s been pushed to the sidelines —a move that certainly won’t hurt.

Whether Urban will look convincing in the heavy fight choreography remains to be seen (this style of combat isn’t exactly his trademark), but hopefully the editing will cover any rough edges. For now, it seems the sequel is keeping what worked—plenty of iconic characters and settings, along with the game’s signature one-liners—while adding depth to become not just a fighting flick with a famous video-game label, but a full-fledged adaptation. A change of writer also signals improvement. While the director remains the same, the script this time comes from the experienced Jeremy Slater (The Umbrella Academy).

What that ultimately means for the film is yet to be seen, but at the very least it’s a promising step toward an installment that might finally give long-time fans the faithful spectacle they’ve been waiting for.

Action / Sci-Fi, US, 2025 Director: Joachim Rønning Stars: Jared Leto, Evan Peters, Greta Lee, Gillian Anderson, Jeff Bridges, Cameron Monaghan, Jodie Turner-Smith Release date: 9. 10. 2025

In Tron: Ares, the newest chapter of the iconic sci-fi saga, a digital entity named Ares (Jared Leto) steps out of the virtual world of the Grid and into real-world reality. His arrival marks humanity’s first true encounter with an artificial intelligence born entirely inside a digital environment, carrying both immense risks and profound questions about the very boundaries of existence. As the line between these two realms unexpectedly begins to blur, both humans and machines are forced to reconsider what it truly means to be alive, to possess consciousness, and to exercise free will. Originally designed as a weapon and an instrument of conflict, Ares evolves on his journey, searching for identity, meaning, and the chance to become more than a program.

The film weaves together spectacular action set pieces and the franchise’s signature neon visuals with deeper philosophical themes about humanity’s relationship to AI, freedom, and responsibility. The result is a tense, visually striking adventure that expands the Tron universe with a new chapter rich in suspense, emotion, and thought-provoking ideas.

A daring new take on the legendary Predator saga: Predator: Badlands follows Dek, a young Predator exiled from his clan for being too small and weak. To earn his place, he must survive a hostile world filled with deadly creatures and rival hunters. Along the way he forms an unexpected bond with Thia (Elle Fanning), a synthetic from Weyland-Yutani, forcing them both to question loyalty and survival.

Told largely from the Predator’s per-

spective, the film dives deep into Yautja culture, blending intense action with themes of identity and redemption.

ROOFMAN Drama / Comedy, US, 2025 Director: Derek Cianfrance Stars: Channing Tatum, Kirsten Dunst, Peter Dinklage, Ben Mendelsohn, Juno Temple Release date: 9. 10. 2025

An unexpected story based on true events: Jeffrey Manchester (Channing Tatum) was a soldier who returned from the army to find nothing but an empty bank account and life on the fringes.

When he began breaking into fast-food restaurants at night through their rooftops to steal the cash takings, he beca-

me known as the “Rooftop Burglar.” His meticulously planned heists made him a legend— and a prime target for the police. After being caught, he manages to escape and hide for months inside an abandoned store. While plotting his next move, he becomes entangled in a relationship with a woman who has no idea who he really is.

Museum Kampa is a museum of modern art, located in the historical center of Prague. The core collection consists of the art collection of Jan and Meda Mládek, who actively supported Czechoslovak non-conformist artists during their stay in exile in the second half of the 20th century. The permanent exhibition of the Museum is dedicated to the paintings and drawings of František Kupka, one of the pioneers of abstract art at the beginning of the 20th century, and the sculptures of the cubist sculptor Otto Gutfreund.

Museum Kampa also organizes many short–term exhibitions. “Cubism” focuses on the leading Czech representatives of this art movement – Gutfreund, Filla, Kubišta and many others. Exhibition “Váchal – Bolf” shows the best of two artists in an interesting dialogue. Josef Váchal was inspired by expressionism and elements of symbolism, naturalism and Art Nouveau, Josef Bolf works with figurative motifs – figures are often solitary, sometimes half–animal.

DAVID ČERNÝ: PERMANENT EXHIBITION OF SELECTED WORKS

24

The permanent exhibition at the Musoleum Gallery features some of the most famous works by David Černý. The space, covering 1,200 square meters and spread over five floors, is filled with the latest pieces, but it also takes visitors back to the beginnings of the artist‘s work. Among the artworks, visitors will find installations that the public has never seen before, as well as displayed designs and architectural projects.

David Černý: He was born and raised in former Czechoslovakia and „knows better than anyone else what oppression means.” With the fall of the Iron Curtain, there was a radical transformation in his hometown—Prague, where he still lives. Černý himself says that he „is not a political animal,“ yet his artworks, unvarnished and confrontational, have everything to do with the truth of the times. According to him, his older works are „more relevant than ever and clearly show that while time changes, the human brain does not.” Černý, according to many, masters „the art of balancing between controversy and humor like no one else.“ He first gained fame in 1991 when he painted a Soviet tank pink in his native Prague as a war memorial. Since then, his „acts of artistic civil disobedience,“ installations, and

exhibitions have continued to provoke reactions around the world.

This year, Černý sparked discussion with two butterfly sculptures placed on the facade of the Máj department store on Prague‘s Národní Street. Their bodies mimic a Spitfire fighter plane. The sculptures were installed by climbers a week ago. Prague‘s heritage officials have permitted the placement of the sculptures on Máj for one year.

Shortly after the installation of the sculptures, some experts criticized them. The Club for Old Prague stated that the design shows signs of typical kitsch, and its overtly appealing motif aims to fascinate while also evoking emotional memories of Czechoslovak aviators. Černý rejects this criticism.

Although you won’t find any Hollywood movie stars in the Czech streets, many of them were filming here. So you can make a picture of Czech sites that adorn a lot of famous Hollywood movies.

We have to Start with the blockbuster Mission: Impossible from 1996 with Tom Cruise in the lead role. It was the first major Hollywood production that visited Prague and the filmmakers had used a number of gorgeous Prague scenes. The party at the embassy was filmed at the National Museum, the escape from modern glass restaurant (cover photo) on the Old Town Square. In this case, however, keep in mind that the restaurant itself doesn’t exist – it was made just for the purpose of filming the movie.

After 15 years the production of Mission: Impossible returned to Prague, this with the fourth chapter – Ghost Protocol.

They used the Main Railway Station (the opening scene with killed agent) or the corner house in the street Pštrossova 17, where Ethan Hunt ran from the police.

In 2002 Anthony Hopkins and Chris Rock visited Prague together to shoot an action thriller Bad Company. Rock was chased by bad guys in Thun Street in Lesser Town

(Malá Strana), Hopkins’ agent went to helim him through Castle stairs (Zámecké schody). Together they went to the Castle Square. They also used the Shooter’s Island (Střelecký ostrov) in the Old Town (the scene with atomic bomb dealer).

Even the legendary vampire slayer Blade used the streets of Prague in his second adventure movie. From the entrance next to the pizzeria in the Sokolovská Street, the filmmakers made a vampire blood bank. And for the seat of vampire family Damaskinos they used secluded place of Vaníčkova Street.

Prague had a key role in the action movie of Vin Diesel xXx filmed in 2002. Beginning of the movie was shot on the Old Town Square (the producers managed to depopulate it, which was almost an im-

In 2004 our country was visited by Wolverine – Hugh Jackman, in those times without his comic book claws, but with his long coat and hat as Van Helsing. The battle in the village with three brides of Dracula (probably the best part of the movie) was filmed at the Kunratice Castle in Prague 4. Then the hero walks the street Na Kampě under the Charles Bridge, where one of the brides offers him a trade. The magnificent ball of vampires was filmed in the Saint Nicholas Church.

And then of course there‘s the recently filmed The Gray Man with the Chris Evans/Ryan Gosling duo, when the fil-

mmakers literally destroyed Prague during the filming. For the explosive collision with the tram, head to Náměstí Republiky Square, as for the big shootout at the fountain, it took place on Palacký náměstí Square (you won‘t find the fountain there, however, the filmmakers built it specifically for the filming).

This list of Hollywood hits, which included Prague to its scenes, naturally doesn’t end. Furthermore, there were shot movies like The Bourne Identity (street Kampa, street of Political prisoners, the Senovážná square) or A Knight’s Tale (Prague Castle, the Charles Bridge). Before the walk in our metropolis we recommend to watch all of these mentioned movies. th.

PALLADIUM SHOPPING MALL

HEART OF PRAGUE’S SHOPPING AND EXPERIENCES Just a few steps from Old Town Square and the Powder Tower stands Palladium – the largest shopping centre in Prague’s historic heart. With nearly 200 shops, restaurants and cafés, it’s an unmissable stop for anyone exploring the city.

Blending its rich history with striking contemporary architecture, Palladium offers a unique atmosphere that turns shopping into a real experience. This exceptional quality has been recognised repeatedly with the prestigious Superbrands award in 2023, 2024 and 2025, proof that it’s a brand Czechs truly love.

History at Every Step The site where Palladium now stands has roots dating back to the 12th century.

Visitors can still see remnants of Romanesque palaces—some right inside the Luxor bookstore. In the 18th century, the area became a vast military complex with a distinctive riding hall, where Josef Kajetán Tyl composed the Czech national anthem during his military service.

Today’s building welcomes visitors not only with stories of the past but also with contemporary design. The entrance from náměstí Republiky (Republic Square) is crowned by a stunning light

installation by Preciosa, made of more than 500 glass tubes that create an ever-changing luminous spectacle.

What’s New Palladium is constantly refreshing its portfolio to reflect current trends. Recent openings include Converse, Medicine, Columbia, Kara, Etam, Urban Brands, and Humanic. Sweet lovers will enjoy the arrival of Prague Chocolate Steiner & Kovarik.

Well-known favourites have also embraced new designs: C&A, Reserved, Mango, Guess, Ecco, L’Occitane, Douglas, Kratochvílovci, and Oxalis have all unveiled stylishly updated stores.

After shopping, take a break in one of the many restaurants and cafés—from

Indian, Thai or traditional Czech cuisine to authentic Neapolitan pizza, or simply enjoy coffee and dessert. Quick bites and treats such as fresh waffles, macarons or trdelník round out the experience.

CLAM-GALLAS PALACE

40

The massive building of the Clam-Gallas Palace in Husova Street in Prague’s Old Town lies at the crossroads of the important medieval link between Prague Castle and the centre of the Old Town, also called the Royal Route, and the ancient road leading to Vyšehrad.

The intersection of Charles and Hus Streets is reached by the southern part of the facade of the Clam-Gallas Palace, one of the most important Baroque palace buildings in Prague. It is a magnificent example of a monumental aristocratic residence situated in a small medieval-type urban development. The palace was built in the High Baroque style on the site of an older building in 1714-18 according to a design by J. B. Fischer of Erlach for Jan Václav Count Gallas. Among others, M. B. Braun and his workshop contributed to the decoration of the building (portals with atlants, statues of ancient gods in the roof part, cherubs inside and vases on the staircase), the painter C. Carlone, stonemason D. A. Rappa and the plasterers R. Bolla, S. Bussi and G. Fiumberti.

In one of the three courtyards there is a fountain with a statue of Triton by M. B. Braun, protected by a Baroque grille. Both the Gallas and the Clam-Gallas family, the owners of the Pala-

ce, were lovers and patrons of the arts; their Palace was thus a famous cultural centre in Prague, where concerts were held – W. A. Mozart (1787) and L. van Beethoven (1796) performed here, theatre was performed here and exhibitions of paintings were held. In a niche of the Palace‘s enclosure wall on Mariánské Square there is a fountain with an allegorical sculpture of the Vltava River by V. Prachner. The northern wing of the palace was raised by one storey to accommodate the anticipated construction of a theatre hall. However, this certainly interesting plan was eventually abandoned and the resulting under-roof space was then used as a hayloft.

1) PRAGUERS ARE ALWAYS IN A BAD MOOD

4) THEY MUST ALWAYS PLAN SOMETHING

When there is someone with a grumpy expression that points out that he would like to kill you, don‘t take it personally. Prague residents are always in a hurry and still seem to be in a bad mood. In short, it works like that here.

But otherwise they are fine!

You will probably feel like lazy, because the Praguers have - it seems - planned perhaps every minute of the day. And this also applies to weekends. It can only be Monday morning and the right Praguer already knows what he will do on the weekend.

2) THEY DON‘T WAIT FOR THE GREEN LIGHT You can also recognize true Praguers by ignoring the traffic lights. In short, he is looking for every possible space that will be offered to him on the road, and when he sees the opportunity, he immediately crosses the street. Red, green, it doesn‘t matter.

5) THEY ARE OBSESSED WITH CARS Although Prague has one of the best transport links in Europe, if we talk about public transport (train, metro, tram, bus), Prague citizens are still obsessed with driving everywhere. And even though they have to wait in the traffic jams for an hour.

3) THEY DRINK BEER, A LOT OF BEER

6) THEY DON‘T SEEM, BUT THEY HELP

The Czech Republic is well known for its excellent beer, and the Czechs have certainly never concealed themselves by being able to „send a few pieces“ to themselves. But if you with such a Praguer for a beer, don‘t be fooled. “Going out for one beer” is really just a phrase. Every Czech drinks an average of 142 liters of beer per year, while during an average session, the trained Pragueer handles some 8 pieces and is not even out of his breath.

Praguers are vigilant because someone keeps putting them something on the street or wants money from them. And this is really annoying them. Therefore, when you stop them, they immediately go into defense mode and can look very dull. Don‘t let this scare you. As soon as he realizes that you just want some advice, they change completely and almost leads you to the place. They don‘t seem that, but they‘re sweeties!

AN OLD BOHEMIAN EXPERIENCE

56

Bring it to the table, let the Truth be revealed! Take a trip back to a time when portions were fairer, ducks meatier, and beer more drinkable. With today’s tip, you will visit the unique and historic U Pravdů restaurant, where beer has been on tap since 1888.

You can visit this Czech delicacy while strolling through Prague. Just choose the silver tourist trail, whose signs are stamped in the curbs and will reliably lead you to Žitná Street. As an attraction beyond the tourist guide, you can take a photo at the house where the world-famous composer Antonín Dvořák lived, as this house is also in Žitná Street directly opposite the U Pravdů restaurant.

The total capacity of the restaurant is 68 seats and it is divided into 3 parts. Main hall, bar and lounge, with a capacity of 42, 8 and 18 guests. On rainy summer days the garden in the courtyard of the house is open with a capacity of about 50 seats.

The history of the U Pravdů restaurant dates back to 1888, when Mr. František Pravda asked for permission to build a gazebo in which he would brew beer according to the law of the brewery. References to the house in which the restaurant is located date back to the 14th century, when the house was successively called U Lajblů, U Chlupů, U Tikánů or Kalivodský. During the Renaissance, it was beautifully decorated, and its

brewery façade with a gable attic was an ornament of Žitná Street.

restaurants/cafés/bars

In the U Pravdů restaurant you will agree with those who enjoy that beautiful time of stylish lamps, carved chairs, old bicycles, black and white photos and traditional Czech cuisine, which was best served by the mothers of Czech grandmothers. The current interior, which has been used since the turn of the millennium, is similar to the original look of the time. Most of the restaurant’s accessories are original or historical. The restaurant serves Pilsner, Polička, semi-dark Ferdinand and unfiltered Unětice. The interior will delight lovers of the First Republic, in whose style it is decorated. Lots of small details and details will make a proper feast a real experience for all senses.

And what delicacies does this Old Bohemian restaurant offer, among others? Delicious roast pork ribs, roast duck, rabbit on spinach and bacon, pork, dumplings, very, goulash or meat skewer. That is just a modest list of what you will be licking your lips for at the U Pravdů restaurant.

And believe me, this is no tourist trap.

Even the biggest Czech patriots will be thrilled to try the local cuisine.

57

And we have to mention the helpful service that will advise you. After all, Czech cuisine is quite specific, so do not be afraid to have anything recommended. Personally, we would bet that whatever you choose, you will not regret it, but you cannot give anything for asking.

So, if you intend to visit an honest old Bohemian restaurant while wandering around Prague, you will not go wrong at the U Pravdů restaurant. Whether we are talking about food, drink or the overall concept, everything here is exactly as it should be. The place is in a great location, you will feel the atmosphere of a traditional Czech restaurant in the best possible sense of the word and you will be delighted by its offer. This is what a proper cultural and gastronomic experience should look like. th.

ONE PRICE, ENDLESS BITES: ŠPEJLE’S NEW CHAPTER BEGINS Opened in 2025, Špejle’s newest branch at the corner of Jungmannova and Palackého streets is a bold continuation of the beloved Prague concept that rewrote the rules of casual dining. Located just a few steps from Charles Square., this spacious, stylish venue builds on the success of the original Jungmannova location, but introduces new elements to refresh the brand while preserving its playful spirit.

The heart of Špejle is its unique “one skewer, one price” philosophy. Every dish — whether savory, sweet, hot, or cold — comes served on a small skewer, each costing just 33 CZK. This creates an informal, flexible dining experience where guests are encouraged to sample widely and share freely. It’s like upscale tapas, but with a Czech twist and a democratic pricing system that keeps things fun and unpretentious.

The menu is updated frequently and reflects seasonal ingredients and creative pairings. Think mini beef tartare with truffle oil, goat cheese with beetroot chutney, duck breast with cranberry glaze, or vegetarian delights like grilled aubergine with tahini. For those with a sweet tooth, options like mini pavlovas or skewer-sized cheesecakes round off the meal with flair.

Design-wise, the second Špejle venue offers a warm yet contemporary interi-

or with high ceilings, natural light, and subtle industrial touches. The open kitchen concept allows guests to witness the culinary process — a nod to transparency and craftsmanship. Comfortable seating, smart acoustics, and a relaxed atmosphere make it equally suited for casual lunch, after-work drinks, or dinner date.

The bar is no less ambitious. Špejle offers one of the city’s most extensive gin selections, with a menu that allows guests to pair different tonics, garnishes, and botanicals. A small but carefully selected wine list, house-made lemonades, and rotating signature cocktails ensure there’s something for every taste.

Open every day from 11:00 to 23:00, second Špejle is a welcome addition to Prague’s unique gastro scene — approachable, creative, and endlessly re-visitable. It’s proof that a good idea, when done well, never goes out of style.

Jungmannova 20, Prague 1 Phone: +420 241 773 553 www.spejle.eu

You focus on local spirits. Which stand out?

Garage 22 from Prague is a great example – small, award-winning, and perfect for unique cocktails that guests often take home.

B21 COCKTAIL BAR THE SMALLEST BAR, THE BIGGEST FLAVOR Hidden in the heart of Prague, B21 Cocktail Bar blends minimalist design with top-tier ingredients and masterful mixology. Each drink tells its own story, inspired by local flavors and bold yet refined pairings. We spoke with bartender Karel Dvořáček about this hidden cocktail gem.

B21 is one of the smallest cocktail bars in Prague 1. How do you turn this intimacy into an advantage?

Our size is our strength. With only 16 seats, every guest meets either me or Charlie directly. Cocktails are mixed almost at the table, always with a local Czech spirit as the base. It’s a personal experience, not an anonymous stop.

“Minimalist mixology” – what does that mean?

Every ingredient has a purpose, nothing extra. We highlight Czech products rather than layering flavors. A favorite example: Tosh gin from Olomouc, wine cordial, rhubarb, and a spray of absinthe – simple, elegant.

What defines your daily Aperitivo from 4–9 p.m.?

Aperitivo cocktails are light and fresh, opening the palate for the evening. Later, our drinks get bolder. We serve small Czech tapas with them and feature different local brands than on the evening list.

Your terrace is near Old Town Square.

How do you keep it local?

Through personal service, curated music, and a cozy setting. For a quieter visit, come right after opening or on a weekday evening.

How often do you change your Aperitivo cocktails?

Several times a year, always seasonal.

A recent hit is Super Pomeau, a barrel-aged apple liqueur that inspired a refreshing new cocktail.

And the name B21?

It’s our address – Bílkova 21. Our 14 signature drinks each feature a key ingredient from one of the Czech Republic’s 14 regions.

One bartending tip for mixing at home – and one rule of bar etiquette that you think every guest should know.

Tip: When adding ice to a glass, always fill it to the top. With less ice, it melts faster and dilutes the drink.

Rule: Take your time – a quality cocktail is an experience, not just a drink.

HARLY‘S BAR A place where nothing is forbidden and where even the biggest lambs become nocturnal animals. If Mirek Dušín were to enter this establishment, he would become a rock star. You want to experience a really wild party that you cannot get home from until dawn? Harly’s Bar will not disappoint.

Welcome to one of the most exciting clubs in Prague. And this is no newcomer. Harly’s Bar in Dlouhá Street is now a legend, and its patrons cannot get enough of it.

They have good reason to keep coming back. Actually, they have several reasons.

Reason number one: You love rock and independence. Both of which are reflected in the atmosphere of the place in the best possible way. If you have a problem with one or the other, move on down the

block. This place would make you feel like Alice in Wonderland after you have ingested the sponges.

The second reason: the drink menu is really great. The cocktails are the backbone of the place and it is no problem to agree with the bartender on almost anything if he has on hand. A bonus is the excellent prices for a similar location.

And the third reason? Absolutely luxurious location! Harly’s Bar is just a few steps away from the Old Town Square. In practice, this means that it does not matter what time your excursion to this “Hell on Earth” (pun intended) ends. You will always be close to the various modes of public transport and the swarm of taxi drivers that regularly circle the club until the morning.

You will want to tune in as soon as you enter. That is because there is no charge to get into the club. It may seem like a trivial triviality, but many clubs today benefit from mandatory entry fees. After you drop your stuff off in the cloakroom, your excursion through the entire venue can begin, which is accessed via the stairs downstairs. Harly’s Bar is located in the basement of the building and is shaped like a long noodle. At first glance it does not appear to, but it can hold an unexpected amount of people. The place itself has two bars (a large and a small one), a dance floor, normal tables and a few circular seats. It is a good idea to arrive early if you want to sit down. Harly’s has no shortage of visitors. But it honestly does not matter what time you arrive. You will not want to sit down anyway.

that they enjoy their work and you will have fun with them.

So, if you prefer a rock blast to pop pomade and you are sick of all those glitzy venues with shamrocks in tight pants and girls looking like plastic mannequins, head to Harly’s Bar, which will offer you the atmosphere of a proper American rock venue. The attentive service, with the added bonus of a midnight fire show, special drinks, music all night that will get everyone rocking, and an atmosphere you will not forget. Just a party that will get you in the mood for the next day.

You will have an assault on your senses during the evening. And not only with great music and other visitors (there’s a lot to see), but also thanks to the bartenders who do not like to bore their customers and therefore regularly organize spectacular fire shows. And it does not stop there. If the ladies take a liking to the bartender, he might just put Jack in your mouth from a bottle right on the bar. And do not worry, gentlemen, it is not just for the fairer sex. Harly’s has its fair share of feisty female bartenders.

So, what do you mean by Harly’s Bar? Well, it is a place where no one is bored, where you will easily kick back one drink after another, where you can dance on the table on weekends and weekdays, and where the bartenders party with you. It is a club that brings out a whole other side of people. It is a place to party or have a birthday party. Why? Because they will be as wild as the place itself – the bartenders will chain you up, tie you to the wall, pour ice in your pants, spray you with whipped cream, in short, they will prove to you

restaurants/cafés/bars
