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. “Dear Adriena...” marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of one of the most important figures in Czech post-war art and a friend of the founder of the Museum Kampa, Meda Mládková. The exhibition aims to present her work to contemporary generations. František Pavlů – Two Forms is a retrospective of a sculptor and member of the Concretists and Miloš Ševčík – Resonance reveals vibrant masterpieces inspired by undersea life, blending radiant colors with inner tension.

Whether you’ve just landed by plane, arrived by train, bus, or car, here is the latest practical information (2026) on how to reach the city centre efficiently and without overpaying. ↓ PRAGUE BY PLANE Václav Havel Airport Prague is located about 17 kilometres northwest of the city centre. After arrival, you will find currency exchange offices as well as ATMs in the terminals, although withdrawing cash is usually the more favourable option.

For assistance, you can contact the airport’s general information line (+420 220 111 888), which operates nonstop, or the Lost and Found service at +420 220 115 005.

↓ HOW TO GET TO THE CITY CENTER Reaching the centre of Prague takes approximately 25 to 40 minutes by car, depending on traffic, or around 35 to 50 minutes if you use public transport.

↓...BY PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION Public transport remains the most affordable and reliable way to reach the city. Tickets can be purchased easily at vending machines, in kiosks, via the PID Lítačka mobile app, or simply by using a contactless card directly on buses and trams, and at ticket machines in the metro.

The current ticket prices are 30 CZK for a 30-minute transfer ticket and 40 CZK for a 90-minute transfer ticket, both allowing unlimited transfers within the time limit.

Longer options include a 24-hour ticket for 120 CZK and a 72-hour ticket for 330 CZK. Luggage is included in the basic fare at no extra charge.

The most common connection from the airport is trolleybus 59, which runs frequently throughout the day (approximately every 3–10 minutes) and takes passengers to Nádraží Veleslavín, where you can transfer to Metro Line A. The journey takes about 15–20 minutes, and from there it is a direct metro ride to the city centre.

The Airport Express bus provides a direct connection between the airport and the Main Railway Station, with a travel time of around 35 minutes. This service operates on a special fare (around 100–120 CZK) and is mainly intended for passengers transferring to trains.

If you arrive late at night, night bus services operate from the airport and connect to night tram lines, which replace metro services during nighttime hours.

↓...BY TAXI For those who prefer a more comfortable transfer, taxis and ride-hailing services are readily available at the airport. The official partner service at Václav Havel Airport is Uber, which offers transparent pricing and easy booking via the app or airport kiosks.

Alternatively, services such as Bolt are widely used in Prague. A typical journey to the city centre costs between 400 and 800 CZK, depending on traffic and demand. It is generally recommended to avoid unlicensed taxis and instead use official or app-based services

↓...BY TRAIN International and domestic trains arrive at Prague Main Railway Station (Praha hlavní nádraží), which is conveniently located close to the city

centre. The station is directly connected to Metro Line C, and Wenceslas Square is only a short walk away.

The station has undergone extensive renovation and now offers modern facilities, including shops, cafés, and fast-food restaurants.

↓...BY BUS Florenc is Prague’s central bus station and serves both domestic and international routes. It is located near the city centre and is directly connected to Metro Lines B and C. The station has also been modernised and offers clean, well-organised spaces, food options, and clear digital boards displaying departures and arrivals.

↓...BY CAR Travelling to Prague by car can be challenging due to heavy traffic and limited parking options in the city centre. Street parking is divided into zones, and blue zones are reserved for residents, with strict enforcement.

Visitors are therefore advised to use Park and Ride (P+R) facilities located near major roads and metro stations, allowing easy access to the city centre via public transport.

↓...BY SUBWAY Prague’s metro system consists of three lines: Line A (green), Line B (yellow), and Line C (red). The network is well designed and provides fast connections to most important locations across the city.

Metro services run daily from approximately 5:00 a.m. until midnight.

arriving

Another option is Bus 100, which connects the airport with Zličín on Metro Line B. Although slightly less convenient for reaching the historic centre, it can be useful depending on your destination.

CHRÁM MATKY BOŽÍ PŘED TÝNEM

PRAGUE 1, STAROMĚSTSKÉ NÁMĚSTÍ

The Church of Our Lady before Týn (Kostel Matky Boží před Týnem) is located in Prague’s Old Town, near Old Town Square. Its construction took place from the mid-14th century to the early decades of the 16th century. It is one of Prague’s most artistically and architecturally significant churches, known for its well-preserved interior. Its western façade, facing the square, is one of Prague’s most iconic landmarks.

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 from Kutná Hora was transported to the royal treasury, led.

The Powder Gate was built in place of the older Gate tower, which formed part of the Old Town fortifications from the time of Václav II‘s reign.

The older tower was known as the Mountain Gate. The Powder Gate served both as a ceremonial gateway and 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 been one of the main political, cultural and economic centres of the Czech lands. Having served as an imperial seat, most notably under Charles IV and later Rudolf II, it also had the status of the Holy Roman Empire capital.

The city’s recorded history dates back to around 870, with the foundation of Prague Castle, although evidence shows the area had been inhabited since the Stone Age. The city flourished during the 14th century, under the reign of Charles IV, who, among other deeds, ordered the construction of landmarks such as Charles Bridge and St. Vitus Cathedral, and Charles University, one of the oldest universities in Central Europe. Prague was then one of the most important cities in Europe. Now home to some 1.2 million inhabitants, Prague became the capital of the newly established state of Czechoslovakia in 1918, with the end of World War I and the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

In 1992, Prague’s historic centre 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.

VRTBA GARDEN Karmelitská 25, Prague 1

Nestled on the slopes of Petřín Hill, Vrtba Garden is one of the finest Baroque gardens in Prague and even north of the Alps. Built between 1715 and 1720 for Count Jan Josef of Vrtba, it forms part of the Vrtba Palace complex in the charming Malá Strana district. Designed by František Maxmilián Kaňka, the garden is a beautiful example of an Italian-style terraced layout. Visitors can admire sculptures by Matyáš Bernard Braun and frescoes

by Václav Vavřinec Reiner in the elegant sala terrena. Rich greenery, hedges, statues, and a fountain create a harmonious setting with views over Prague. Carefully restored in the 1990s, the garden remains a preserved Baroque gem open to the public.

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.

Today, it is a place where the Kampa Museum has its seat. Here, you can see collections of 20th century artworks.

THE CHURCH OF SAINT NICHOLAS IN PRAGUE Malostranské náměstí, Prague 1 Phone: +420 257 534 215 www.stnicholas.cz

The church of Saint Nicholas at the Lesser Town is one of Europe‘s most prominent Baroque structures. Sometimes, it is referred to as the most beautiful Czech Baroque building. Its massive dome and slender tower are an inseparable part of the panorama of the Prague Castle. Surprisingly, its belfry tower is not a part of the church.

There is a separate entrance to it. In addition to the church, you can climb the belfry tower that offers a view of the Lesser Town and hosts a new permanent exhibition called “Custos Turris / the Guardian of the City“. The older exhibition is called The Older Tower Keeper’s Apartment.

Many people do not have any idea that 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.

Perched high above the Vltava River, Letná offers one of the most captivating views in all of Prague. This leafy neighborhood blends relaxed local life with a quietly vibrant cultural scene. Start your stroll in Letná Park, where wide paths lead to breathtaking panoramas of bridges and red rooftops. At its heart stands the Metronome, a striking symbol of the city’s shifting history. As the day softens, the famous Letná Beer Garden fills with laughter, clinking glasses, and the golden glow of sunset through chestnut trees. Skaters, artists, and friends gather here, giving the area its effortlessly cool energy. Just beyond lies Stromovka Park, a vast green escape perfect for a quiet wander. Close to the center yet far from the crowds, Letná is Prague at its most authentic—open, creative, and alive.

THE ODYSSEY Homer’s The Odyssey is undoubtedly one of the greatest stories of human civilization. That is precisely why Christopher Nolan, one of the most acclaimed filmmakers of our time, has taken on the legendary tale, bringing his signature epic scale to the story of one man’s unwavering determination to return home after an endless war.

Odysseus (Matt Damon) is the king of the Greek island of Ithaca who, according to legend and Homer’s epic poem, devised the famous Trojan Horse, helping the Greeks deceive the defenders of Troy and finally bring the long and exhausting siege to an end. Once the war is over, Odysseus longs for only one thing: to return home to his wife Penelope (Anne Hathaway) and his son Telemachus (Tom Holland).

But according to myth, his actions have angered the gods, who decide to make his journey home as difficult as possible. It is for this reason that the word “odyssey” has become synonymous with a long and arduous journey filled with obstacles that pull a traveler away from their destination rather than toward it.

While Odysseus battles gods, giants, the enchanting sorceress Circe, and countless other dangers, Penelope must

fend off the suitors determined to claim both her hand and the throne of Ithaca.

Christopher Nolan is renowned for his commitment to practical filmmaking, preferring real locations and in-camera effects over digital solutions whenever possible. “When I write, I try to visualize the film and see it through the eyes of the audience,” Nolan explains. “And when I shoot, I want that audience to feel as though they are inside the film itself.

I want them to be inside the Horse, standing on the deck of Odysseus’s ship.”

One of the most anticipated films of the year will be available not only in digital projection, but also in traditional 35mm and the spectacular 70mm IMAX format. In addition to the subtitled version, a dubbed release will also be available, ensuring that audiences of all ages can experience this extraordinary adventure.

The Karlovy Vary International Film Festival (KVIFF) is the most prestigious film event in the Czech Republic and the country‘s only festival classified as a Category A event, alongside renowned festivals such as Cannes, Berlin, and Venice. Celebrating its 60th edition, the festival will once again offer hundreds of screenings, meetings with filmmakers, and a rich accompanying programme.

The festival‘s history dates back to 1946, when its first edition was held in Mariánské Lázně. Four years later, it found its permanent home in Karlovy Vary and gradually became one of the most important cultural events in Central Europe. Each year, the festival honours outstanding figures of world cinema with the Crystal Globe for Outstanding Artistic Contribution to World Cinema.

The iconic Thermal Hotel remains the heart of the festival, although screenings take place in numerous venues throughout the city. Visitors can easily navigate the festival thanks to the digital Festival Pass+ and the Vodafone KVIFF Guide app, which provides programme information, venue maps, and ticket reservation services.

The festival also places a strong emphasis on accessibility and sustainability. Special festival shuttle buses will operate free of charge throughout the city, while Festival Pass holders can take advantage of shared bicycles. The Cinema Without Barriers initiative helps make the festival accessible to visitors with disabilities. Karlovy Vary and the festival offer a wide range of accommodation options, from five-star hotels near the famous colonnades to the popular festival campsite.

In Disney’s live-action adaptation of the beloved and hugely successful animated adventure, the fearless Moana (Catherine Laga‘aia) sets sail beyond the shores of her island home, Motunui. Answering the call of the ocean, she joins forces with the once-mighty demigod Maui (Dwayne Johnson), and together they embark on a perilous voyage filled with dangers, mythical creatures, and ancient secrets.Along the way, they face challenges that test their courage, friendship, and sense of identity, as they fight to protect their people and secure the future of their homeland.

Discover painting, photography, sculpture, light and AI-based installations, as well as Ivan Kafka’s monumental object installation with more than 600 arrows suspended in mid-air.

Evil Dead: Burned Alive delivers the most brutal and terrifying experience yet in the legendary Evil Dead franchise, unleashing a brand-new chapter of bloody carnage and demonic chaos.

The story follows the grieving Alice (Souheila Yacoub), who, after the loss of her husband, seeks comfort with her relatives at their remote family home.

But as is often the case in the Evil Dead universe, her arrival sets off a chain of horrifying events when a bloodthirsty force is accidentally unleashed from an ancient book. What begins as a family gathering quickly descends into a relentless nightmare of possession, violence, and demonic terror.

The exhibition “The Přemyslids.

A Ruling Dynasty and Its Age” presents the dynasty that transformed Bohemia into a kingdom and firmly established it as part of Europe. Held in the Hystorical Building of the National Museum, it features more than 900 exhibits, including royal burial treasures, rare textiles, reliquaries, and the unique royal crown from Slezská Středa. Visitors will discover the power, faith, and daily life of the Přemyslids through the stories of Saint Wenceslas, Saint Ludmila, and the assassination of Wenceslas III, which ended the dynasty but not the Czech Kingdom.

Four years have passed since the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, and Peter Parker is now a grown man living in complete isolation after voluntarily erasing himself from the lives and memories of those closest to him. As New York’s full-time protector, he continues to fight crime in a city that no longer knows his name. But as the demands placed upon him grow ever greater, the mounting pressure triggers a shocking physical transformation that threatens his very existence. At the same time, a mysterious new pattern of criminal activity gives rise to one of the most powerful threats Spider-Man has ever faced. The film is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, best known for Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, who brings a more mature and grounded tone to Peter Parker’s next chapter. We already know that Hulk, Punisher, and Scorpion will all play key roles in the story, while Marvel and Sony are undoubtedly keeping a few major surprises hidden until audiences finally see the film in cinemas.

ICE CREAM MAN Horror, US, 2026 Director: Eli Roth Stars: Ari Millen, Benjamin Byron Davis, Karen Cliche, Sarah Abbott, Charlie Storey, Snoop Dogg, Lochlan Miller, Darrin Baker Release date: 6. 8. 2026

The quiet town of Bayleen Bay is thrown into chaos when a mysterious ice cream man begins handing out frozen treats to local children. What initially seems like an innocent summer delight soon turns into a nightmare. After eating the ice cream, the children become increasingly aggressive, and the town slowly descends into violence, panic, and madness. And this time, the warnings are no mere marketing gimmick. Director Eli Roth (Thanksgiving) unleashes a full-blown gorefest packed with outrageous carnage, stomach-churning practical effects, and pitch-black humour. Designed for horror fans with strong stomachs, the film promises a wildly excessive and unapologetically gruesome ride that pushes its twisted premise to the limit.

When he falls into the care of a mysterious woman, he is offered an unexpected chance at redemption and a final reckoning with his past. The Death of Robin Hood presents a dark and gritty reimagining of the legendary outlaw, shifting the focus away from heroic exploits and toward an ageing, battle-scarred man struggling with guilt, his legacy, and the inevitability of death. Directed by Michael Sarnoski (Pig, A Quiet Place: Day One), the film promises an intimate and haunting take on one of literature’s most enduring legends.

while searching for a way home. This intriguing original premise comes from writer-director David Robert Mitchell (It Follows), with production overseen

by J. J. Abrams (Star Trek, Super 8), promising a blend of mystery, suspense, and large-scale sci-fi adventure.

DEVIL’S HEADS

36

Near the village of Želízy, not far from Liběchov, visitors can discover a remarkable collection of monumental sandstone sculptures carved directly into the surrounding rock formations. Created in the mid-19th century by sculptor Václav Levý, these works rank among the most extraordinary examples of outdoor sculpture in the Czech Republic.

The most famous of them are the Devil’s Heads (Čertovy hlavy), two gigantic rock reliefs carved into sandstone cliffs rising above a pine forest. Standing approximately nine metres tall, they are among the largest rock sculptures of their kind in the country. Levý created the impressive work between 1841

and 1846, long before becoming one of the most celebrated Czech sculptors of the 19th century. His later works can be found in Prague’s Church of St. Charles Borromeo and St. Vitus Cathedral.

The sculptures are freely accessible via the blue hiking trail starting in Želízy. Along the route, visitors can also explore Klácelka Cave and the nearby area known as Blaník, featuring reliefs of Jan Žižka, Prokop the Great, and legendary dwarves forging weapons for the Knights of Blaník.

Additional highlights include the Snake, carved into a rock and split by an axe, and the Harpist, a striking depiction of a woman playing a harp.

Olomouc is beautiful in every season, but nothing beats summer! Whether you like touring places steeped in history, relaxing picnics and time spent in nature, or open-air music and theater, you definitely won’t get bored in Olomouc.

Come see for yourself and enjoy… … a historic atmosphere Do you know the best thing about Olomouc? You don’t have to walk far to see a lot. Highlights of the city such as the Holy Trinity Column—which has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000—or the historic City Hall with its astronomical clock are just a few meters apart. Same goes for the Lower Square with its Marian Column which is visible from the City Hall. In the city

center, you’ll also find most of Olomouc’s Baroque fountains, and the famous St. Wenceslas Cathedral is just a few minutes’ walk from there. As you stroll through the city, don’t forget to look up.

Many historic buildings in the city center and beyond have kept their original house signs, protective symbols, and magnificent busts that will never cease to amaze you. Guided tours of the city will also take you back in time and show you many of Olomouc’s hidden treasures. … summer evenings and unique musical performances On warm summer evenings, when there’s no rush to head home, Olomouc organizes laid-back concerts and open-air theater performances. In summer, it’s not

… walks in the parks The city parks form a green belt around Olomouc, and all it takes to find yourself surrounded by nature is a quick walk down the stairs from the historic city center. You can walk the main paths and admire the various historical monuments and medieval fortifications along the way, above which stand historic religious, military, and university buildings. Or you can take the side paths and discover their hidden nooks and crannies. With children, you can enjoy a walk through the Botanic Garden and the Garden of the Senses. The Olomouc Rosarium, which is actually the second-

-largest rosarium in the Czech Republic, is worth a visit—especially in summer.

Head out for a walk in Olomouc’s parks to clear your head, sit down with a book, or perhaps have a picnic there. … quality time with your family Olomouc has many activities tailored to kids. And we guarantee that the whole family will enjoy them together. One place you definitely shouldn’t miss is Fort Science. It originally served as a military warehouse, but today it’s a place where science becomes fun—and not just for kids. A fair warning, though— time flies by much faster there, and it’s easy to spend an entire day playing with the exhibits. The rope center, water park, and of course, the Zoo at Svatý Kopeček also offer plenty of family fun, especially in the summer. In the city center, you’ll also find countless cafés that have cool play areas for curious kids, as well as great coffee and desserts for tired parents. tourism.olomouc.eu

The season has already begun with the long-established Kutná Hora Summer Festival, a holiday-long celebration featuring night tours, theatre performances, and unique cultural experiences in Kutná Hora and the surrounding area. Running from June 1 to September 30, the festival enters its 18th edition in 2026.

Throughout the summer, visitors can also enjoy a range of themed tours offered by the Kutná Hora Guide Service. One of the highlights is a special tour inspired by the video game Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, connecting the game‘s world with the real history of Kutná Hora. Participants will discover what the town looked like around the year 1403 and compare the game‘s depiction with historical reality — all without spoilers. The tours are engaging, accessible, and suitable both for fans of the game and for anyone interested in exploring Kutná Hora from a different perspective. Dates and reservations are available at www.pskh.reenio.cz.

Another highlight of the summer programme is the photography exhibition In the Land of Pomegranate Trees by French pho-

tographer and humanitarian worker Hiên Lâm Duc. The exhibition offers a unique look at Iraqi Kurdistan — a region often associated with conflict and tension, but also a place of rich cultural heritage, beautiful landscapes, and vibrant everyday life.

The summer season will conclude on September 26 with the St. Wenceslas Celebrations in Palacký Square. The event will feature two music stages — the Pop & Rock Stage and the Folk & Country Stage. The full programme will be announced soon. For the latest updates, visit www.kutnahora.cz or follow the city‘s official Facebook page.

Near the town of Kunštát is the Cave of the Knights of Blaník, a unique artificial sandstone gallery hidden inside Milenka Hill. The site was created by Stanislav Rolínek, a talented self-taught sculptor. Inspired by Czech history and legends, he carved a series of life-sized sandstone figures, including the legendary Knights of Blaník. Despite suffering from tuberculosis, Rolínek worked tirelessly on the project. His remarkable talent attracted local businessman František Burian, who supported the idea of creating a landmark that would draw visitors to Kunštát. Today, the cave is one of the region’s most distinctive cultural attractions.

MOUNT ŘÍP Rovné, 411 87 Krabčice

Mount Říp is one of the most important landmarks and national symbols in Czech history. According to Czech legend, it was the place where the first Slavic settlers, led by Forefather Czech, arrived and chose to make their home.

From the summit, he is said to have looked across the landscape and decided that this fertile land would become the homeland of his people, giving the country its name. The distinctive basalt hill rises to 456 metres above sea level and can be seen from far across the surrounding countryside near Roudnice nad Labem.

Because of its strong connection to the origins of the Czech nation, climbing Mount Říp is often considered a symbolic experience for Czechs. At the top stands the historic Rotunda of St. George and St. Adalbert, one of the best-known Romanesque monuments in the country.

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.

1) PRAGUERS ARE ALWAYS IN A BAD MOOD

4) THEY MUST ALWAYS PLAN SOMETHING

activity tips

6. THINGS YOU MUST KNOW ABOUT PRAGUERS IN ADVANCE!

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.

50

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 touches 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.

U VÁHY:

A SMÍCHOV INN WHERE TRADITION STILL CARRIES WEIGHT Some places cannot be created overnight.

They take years, decades, sometimes even centuries to become what they are.

One such place is U Váhy, a historic inn on Nádražní Street in Prague’s Smíchov district. At first glance, the building may seem unassuming, yet behind its walls lies a story of old Smíchov, family tradition, honest Czech cooking, and a kind of hospitality that has become increasingly rare. U Váhy is not simply a place to enjoy a beer or lunch. It is a house with a memory.

A House That Has Stood for More Than Three Centuries The history of the building reaches far back into the past. It already appeared on maps in 1713 and originally belonged to the Schwarzenberg estate. Since then, the entire neighbourhood around it has transformed—from a suburban

settlement to an industrial district and eventually into the vibrant urban centre that Smíchov is today. The house, however, remained. And with it remained a distinctive atmosphere that cannot be recreated through design or decoration. It exists only in places where generations of people have met, shared stories, and lived their lives.

More Than 250 Years of Hospitality The tradition of hospitality in this building has continued uninterrupted for over 250 years. Throughout the centuries, owners, innkeepers, bartenders, and guests have changed, yet one thing has remained constant: people have come here for food, beer, conversation, and simple moments of comfort. Regular patrons sat alongside local families, brewery workers, travellers, neighbours, craftsmen, and colourful characters from old Smíchov. Every era left its mark, and

Experience a Piece of Living History U Váhy is more than just another restaurant on Prague’s map. It is a Smíchov tradition, a family story, and a place where the past naturally meets the present. Stop by for lunch, a beer, a celebration, a gathering, or simply for the feeling of stepping into a house where hospitality still carries real weight.

The Pašek Family Legacy A defining chapter began in 1917, when František and Marie Pašek purchased the property just two days before Christmas Eve. Since then, the story of U Váhy has been closely tied to the Pašek family.

Today, Andělka and Petr Pašek continue that legacy. Their goal is not to turn U Váhy into another anonymous restaurant, but to preserve its spirit, history, and First Republic atmosphere. They want guests to feel that they have entered a place where history was truly lived.

That is what makes U Váhy special.

Traditional Czech Cuisine in a First Republic Setting Today’s U Váhy welcomes visitors into an interior inspired by the elegance of the First Czechoslovak Republic. Guests can enjoy traditional Czech cuisine prepared according to classic recipes, quality draught beer, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The inn is equally suited for a casual meal, a family gathering, a business event, a private celebration, or simply an afternoon spent with friends. Some occasions deserve a setting with a story behind it.

A Place with a Soul Many new restaurants and bars continue to open across Smíchov—modern, stylish, and carefully designed. U Váhy is different. Its charm does not come from trying to be new. Its charm comes from remembering. It remembers old Smíchov, generations of families, the work of innkeepers, the voices of regular guests, the aroma of the kitchen, and the lively conversations that once filled traditional Czech pubs.

Places where people gathered not only to eat and drink, but to share their lives. That is why U Váhy still matters today.

together those traces created the authentic atmosphere that visitors still experience today. The inn was once known as U Škrobařů, but its current name, U Váhy (“At the Scale”), comes from the municipal weighing station that once stood opposite the building. Over time, the name became synonymous with one of Smíchov’s enduring landmarks.

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 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. 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.

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.

You will have an assault on your senses during the evening. And not only with

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 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.

MAGIC WEDNESDAYS Beat the midweek slump with a night where reality gives way to illusion.

From 10 PM, a master magician and our bartenders’ signature “liquid magic” cocktails turn an ordinary Wednesday into an unforgettable show.

MYSTERIOUS THURSDAYS Step into a world of mystery and illusion where nothing is quite as it seems.

Starting at 10 PM, enjoy mind-bending entertainment, a specially crafted mystical cocktail, and the classic Harly’s atmosphere with a mysterious twist.

BORN TO BE WILD FRIDAYS Leave the week behind and kick off the weekend with a full-throttle rock ’n’ roll party. At Harly’s, the only rule is to live loud, dance hard, and keep the good times going until sunrise.

SATURDAY’S HIGHWAY TO HELL Jump on the wildest ride in town and experience a Saturday night fueled by freedom, rock ’n’ roll, and nonstop energy. This is no night for quiet drinks—we’re turning things up and partying until dawn.

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.
