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.

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.

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).

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

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

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.

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.

SCREAM 7 Who would have expected that in 2025 the screaming horror franchise that began back in 1996 would still be going strong — and with the original cast, no less? The seventh installment also brings back another key figure: Kevin Williamson, the screenwriter of the first, second, and fourth films. This time, however, he’s switching roles — he’s stepped into the franchise as director.

The story puts Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) back at the center of the action after she sat out the previous film due to a pay dispute with the studio. Sidney has built a new life in a peaceful small town, but because this is the Scream series, that peace doesn’t last long. Ghostface is out to destroy her life and targets the most sensitive thing she has — Sidney’s daughter (Isabel May). Determined to protect her family, Sidney must confront the horrors of her past to end the bloodshed once and for all. And the events of the last movie are somewhat brushed aside, since the Carpenter sisters are absent this time around.

But fans of the original probably won’t mind, as Courtney Cox returns alongside Campbell — and so do several classic faces whose involvement we can only

speculate about, given that they died in previous installments. Normally, this might raise a red flag, but Scream has always been deeply meta — and twice as much so whenever Williamson is involved.

With Williamson at the helm, we can count on plenty of self-aware references, inventive kills, a tense whodunit, and a twist or two at the end. Because that’s exactly what has always made Scream unique. It’s not just another slasher. It’s a cleverly constructed mystery with a clear set of suspects, where the audience gets to play detective alongside the characters, guessing who’s behind the mask this time.

So we’ll see who’s sharpening their knife for Sidney and her loved ones now.

Hopefully it turns out better than last time, when the big reveal didn’t quite stick the landing.

Horror / Sci-Fi / Thriller, USA, 2026 Director: Danny Boyle, Stars: Ralph Fiennes, Jack O‘Connell, Alfie Williams, Emma Laird, Erin Kellyman, Chi Lewis-Parry, David Sterne, Aaron Taylor-Johnson

Andrea Bocelli, whose velvety tenor has been admired around the world for 30 years, will perform in Prague’s O2 Arena for the eighth time already!

He will once again be accompanied by the excellent Czech National Symphony Orchestra and a number of truly outstanding guest artists.

Bocelli holds countless records, having sold more than 90 million albums and amassed over 16 billion streams to date.

The renowned tenor has long served as an ambassador of Italian culture across the globe. In 2020, he captured worldwide attention with one of the most-watched live musical broadcasts in history — the Music for Hope concert. Over the course of his dazzling career, Bocelli has earned six Grammy nominations and six Latin Grammy nominations, won a Golden Globe, seven Classical BRIT Awards, seven World Music Awards, and has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Throughout his career, Andrea Bocelli has performed for four U.S. presidents, three popes, the British royal family, and numerous prime ministers. He has sung at major global ceremonies including the Olympic Games, the FIFA World Cup, the UEFA Euro 2020 opening ceremony, the Premier League final, the Ballon d’Or, and the World Expos in Shanghai (2010) and Milan (2015). He has appeared in the world’s greatest concert halls, opera houses, and arenas. Most recently, Bocelli performed at the 24th Annual Latin Grammy Awards and the 96th Academy Awards. He also became the first classical artist in history to headline London’s BST Hyde Park in 2024.

American director Nia DaCosta (Candyman) expands the chilling horror universe created by Danny Boyle and Alex Garland in 28 Years Later. In this new chapter of the epic story, Dr. Kelson (Ralph Fiennes) becomes entangled in a shocking and unexpected new relationship whose far-reaching consequences could alter the world as we know it. His encounters with Spike (Alfie Williams) and Jimmy Crystal (Jack O‘Connell) slowly turn into a relentless nightmare from which he cannot escape. For the infected are no longer the greatest threat to humanity’s survival — the growing inhumanity of the survivors themselves may prove even stranger, more unpredictable, and far more terrifying.

Horror, US / UK / FR / DE / RS, 2026 Director: Christophe Gans Stars: Jeremy Irvine, Hannah Emily Anderson, Eve Macklin, Evie Templeton, Pearse Egan Release date: 22. 1. 2026

James Sunderland (Jeremy Irvine), driven by the shadows of his past, returns to Silent Hill in search of his lost love Mary. The town, dark and desolate, is no longer the place of his memories.

As James wanders through the fog, he encounters figures that feel disturbingly familiar—each trying to divert him from his search for Mary. The deeper he goes, the more fragmented reality becomes.

With every step closer to finding her, James begins to question whether he is still grounded in the real world, or whether he has crossed into a nightmarish underworld. Silent Hill becomes not just a place, but a manifestation of guilt, grief, and truths long buried.

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 – Kubišta, Filla, Špála and many others. Exhibition “Váchal – Bolf” is full of sensitivity to dark visions that emerge from the human unconscious. From mid-February, new exhibitions will be on display – the world famous flowers of Václav Špála, abstract paintings by Rybka and Kurandová, and abstract sculptures by Novák and Karoušek.

MARTY SUPREME Drama / Sport, US, 2025 Director: Josh Safdie Stars: Timothée Chalamet, Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A’zion, Fran Drescher, Abel Ferrara Release date: 1. 1. 2026

The film follows Marty (Timothée Chalamet), a young dreamer in 1952 New York who is obsessed with becoming the world champion in table tennis — a sport that wasn’t exactly glamorous at the time. It traces his driven, at times almost naïve belief in himself as he pushes onward from New York all the way to London, Paris, and Tokyo, refusing to accept limits set by his era or surroundings. Director Josh Safdie blends the rawness and richly detailed atmosphere of the 1950s with strong performances led by Chalamet, complemented by a touch of melancholic humor and a subtle romantic thread that gives the story an additional emotional layer, emotional resonance, and lingering aftertaste — making the film a serious early contender for film of the year, with the kind of quiet confidence that tends to stay with audiences long after the final scene.

PRAGUE CITY GALLERY: THE DOUBLE

In the heart of the historic center, you can take a break from the hustle and bustle in a contemporary art gallery hidden in the oldest house on Old Town Square. The Stone Bell House dates back to the 13th century and currently belongs to the Prague City Gallery. Until April 5, you can visit the exhibition The Double.

Narcissus and his reflection in the water, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, The Picture of Dorian Gray or today’s digital avatars – doppelgangers have fascinated us for centuries. In literature, film and visual art, they recur time and again, as evil omens, divided alter egos, but also as protectors. The exhibition shows how the theme of the double has evolved from ancient myths to contemporary technologies, both in the works of Czech and international artists. Come and enter worlds where people encounter themselves – sometimes with fear, sometimes with relief.

The double is an archetypal theme, stretching from ancient mythologies and legends to today’s rapidly evolving digital world. The exhibition focuses on several key areas: Belief in the Double, Split and Multiple Personalities, Alter Ego, Mirror, Shadow, and Digital Double. The exhibition presents a diverse selection of works of art by hundreds of Czech and international artists from the 20th century to the present day, with some overlaps into earlier art. The exhibition features art media ranging from classical painting, sculpture, drawing and graphic art to photography, video and contemporary technologies.

special

Titanic arrives in Prague. An exhibition that takes you on board the most famous ship of all time. The Titanic exhibition offers an unforgettable adventure that blends history, emotion, and entertainment for the whole family.

26

The exhibition transports you back to 1912. You will see original artifacts recovered from the depths of the Atlantic, walk through replicas of real cabins, peek into the engine room, and come face to face with the fateful iceberg—one you can even touch. At the beginning of your journey, you receive a boarding pass of an actual Titanic passenger. At the end of the exhibition, you will find out whether your character survived.

The Prague exhibition is the most extensive version ever presented in the Czech Republic. Visitors can view personal belongings of passengers as well as parts of the ship itself—from technical equipment and tableware to jewelry and even perfume bottles that still retain their scent.

The Titanic exhibition includes a free audio guide that leads you through the experience using the voices of the passengers themselves. Their stories reveal what they ate, how they spent their time, and what they thought of the “unsinkable” ship. The atmosphere is enhanced by immersive sound design—from elegant waltzes in first class to the thunder of the

boilers and the chilling scrape of the iceberg at the moment of tragedy.

A new highlight is a large immersive projection zone, where you can explore the ship’s interiors and witness the dramatic moments of its sinking. The experience also includes a deep-sea dive to the present-day wreck of the Titanic.

For children, there is an adventure trail called Journey for the Ocean’s Treasure, full of tasks, puzzles, and surprises.

Titanic in Prague is not just a traditional exhibition—it is a powerful experience that truly draws both young and old visitors on board the world’s most famous ship. You won’t just learn facts—you’ll find yourself at the heart of a story that has fascinated the world for more than a century.

VRTBA GARDEN Karmelitská 25, Prague 1 www.vrtbovska.cz

Hidden behind an unassuming Baroque palace near Malá Strana, the Vrtba Garden is one of Prague’s quiet masterpieces.

This terraced Baroque garden climbs the hillside beneath Prague Castle and rewards visitors with sculpted greenery, elegant staircases, and one of the most beautiful views over the red roofs of the Lesser Town. Unlike larger castle gardens, Vrtba feels intimate and almost secret, often surprisingly calm even in high season. It’s an ideal escape for travelers seeking beauty without crowds — a place where Prague briefly belongs only to you.

Havlíčkovy sady, known locally as Grébovka, are one of Prague’s most elegant and pleasantly surprising parks. Designed in the style of Italian Renaissance gardens, they offer terraced slopes, ornamental staircases, a romantic grotto, and far-reaching views over the city. A historic vineyard still produces local wine, which can be tasted in the small garden pavilion. Popular with residents for evening walks and picnics, Grébovka remains refreshingly uncrowded, inviting visitors to slow down and experience Prague in a more relaxed, lived-in way — ideally with a book, a blanket, and time to spare.

NOVÝ SVĚT Hradčany, Prague 1

Nový Svět feels like a forgotten village tucked just steps away from Prague Castle. Narrow lanes, pastel houses, and near silence create a striking contrast to the crowds nearby. There are no major attractions to tick off — the charm lies in simply wandering, noticing details, and enjoying the calm. Early morning or late afternoon is the best time to visit, when the area feels almost timeless. Nový Svět shows a softer, more intimate side of Prague that many visitors never discover.

The Trail in the Clouds in Dolní Morava (Lower Moravia) allows visitors to walk in the treetops with unique views of surrounding mountain ranges. Shaped to resemble the flight of a night butterfly, it’s near the top station of the Sněžník cable car at an altitude of 1,116 metres.

Designed by renowned Brno architect and teacher Zdeněk Fránek, the wooden structure entertains and educates visitors. Information boards detail the building and the Králický Sněžník area.

A network of wooden paths intertwines up the mountain. The 55-metre high structure near the Slaměnka hut offers the thrilling sensation of being at heights traversed only by birds.

CLAM-GALLAS PALACE

48

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

54

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.

55

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.

GEORGE PRIME STEAK

„WE TREAT EACH GUEST INDIVIDUALLY“ From a small neighborhood pub in South Bohemia to leading one of Prague’s finest steakhouses. In this interview, Jaroslav Masopust shares his professional journey, his uncompromising philosophy of quality, and what truly makes an evening at George Prime Steak unforgettable.

What was your journey that ultimately led you to George Prime Steak?

It started twenty years ago in a tiny neighborhood pub in South Bohemia, where we served draft beer, rum, and sausages. I loved the atmosphere and the good mood of the guests and I felt at home. Even then, I knew this was what I wanted to do for a living, so I devoted myself to studying gastronomy.

After school, I worked at several smaller places in Prague, but the main chapter was still ahead. I first entered George Prime Steak 12 years ago as a bartender. A few years later, I flew to Canada to gain experience in the Canadian gastronomic scene.

After several years, I felt I had gained enough experience and returned to Prague to finally lead the George Prime Steak.

How would you describe what George Prime Steak stands for?

Quality – simply put, in one word: qua-

lity. From the most basic ingredient, which is the steak, to the equipment and even the evening service. I want to work with the best and deliver the best to our guests with complete confidence.

George Prime Steak opened its doors almost thirteen years ago. A lot has changed in the world since then, but what we

offer hasn’t. We have always believed that quality and consistency are fundamental.

For more than twelve years, we have been serving USDA Prime cuts, the best cuts of the finest American Black Angus beef.

What do you think makes an evening at George Prime Steak unforgettable?

I would say it comes down to one simple thing: expectations are met.

restaurants/cafés/bars

We treat each guest individually – always professionally, but at the same time in a friendly way. Of course, we have our rules, but you definitely shouldn’t expect a strict corporate approach.When the waiter brings your steak, you can be sure that all your expectations will be met.

Your meat presentation is iconic. What is its essence and what role does it play in the restaurant‘s concept?

The meat presentation came to Prague with our concept more than 12 years ago as the first of its kind, and it has become an essential part of George Prime Steak – without it, we wouldn’t be who we are.

It’s in the DNA of everyone on our team - we strive every evening to meet those expectations. Our guests know this well, which is proven by the fact that even after many visits, they still want to start their evening with the meat presentation.

57

What moment taught you the most about what it means to run a truly top-notch steakhouse?

Maybe I’ll go back to the beginning.

When I got my first tip, it was amazing and encouraging, and for a long time I thought it was the ultimate reward for a job well done. But today I see it differently.

The moment a guest shakes my hand as they leave and says, “That was the best steak I’ve ever had,” or simply “Excellent job, sir,” is truly heartwarming and gives me so much energy.

It reminds me that doing things well really pays off.

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

But enough of the introductory talk – it is time to describe the space itself so you know what is actually waiting for you at Harly’s.

Lola blends authentic tapas, vermouth, and warm hospitality into a cosy, stylish environment that’s perfect for all occasions— an afternoon aperitivo, a leisurely dinner, or a relaxed evening with friends.

The kitchen specialises in tapas from across Spain, offering favourites such as patatas bravas, Galician octopus, gambas al ajillo, and delicate croquetas, alongside a rotating selection of pintxos. Charcuterie and cheeses—like jamón Ibérico and queso manchego—round out the menu, while carefully chosen vermouths and wines complement every bite.

The atmosphere is both vibrant and relaxed, making it equally suitable for an intimate date, a cheerful gathering with friends, or a laid-back business meeting.
