By the end of September, there will be a campaign on the streets of Prague focusing on the rules that tourists in the capital must adhere to. Carried out by Prague City Tourism in cooperation with the night mayor Jan Štern, it will draw attention to the behaviour of tourists in the most problematic locations of the Czech capital.

The campaign reportedly builds on previous surveys that show that over 70 percent of tourists come to Prague for the first time and therefore do not know the rules that apply there. Thus, with visual prompts tourists will be reminded of the fact that silence is maintained after 10 pm and a ban on drinking alcohol on the streets is in place.

They will also learn that they can be fined up to EUR 400 for disturbing the night peace. This will make it so that Prague ceases to be perceived as a city where everything is allowed, believes Petr Slepička, Director of Prague City Tourism.

Hence, tourists will see outdoor advertising in front of the Main Station, bus 119 stops in the direction of the airport or in the most problematic locations. It will be accompanied by a survey that allows more precise targeting of the campaign next year.

The survey takes place on weekends from mid-July. Interviewers will ask travellers where they are from, how they travel, with whom and for what purpose they have arrived, whether they use hotels or Airbnb for accommodation, how and why they have chosen the location for nightlife, or if they know about the local rules.

In recent years, Prague has changed its approach to tourism, as it is no longer trying to attract new tourists, but to cultivate tourism in its current form. The city wants to work mainly to change the image of Prague as a destination with cheap alcohol, to direct tourists to areas outside the centre and to drive more tourists to cultural sites.

This year’s Prague Pride will parade through Prague Center on Saturday the 10th of August. The route will stay the same as previous years, with the starting point at Václavské Náměstí to Letná. The approximate number of participants is 30 thousand people celebrating the lives of the LGBTQIA+ community.

For the first time, the Petřín Tower will be lit in rainbow colors. The LGBTQ pride flag is about to fly Prague City Hall, too.

2019 is an iconic and historic year for SAGE and the LGBT community as it marks the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall uprising, known as the birth of the modern LGBT movement.

The Stonewall riots were a series of spontaneous, violent demonstrations by members of the gay (LGBT) community against a police raid that began in the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, at the Stonewall Inn in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. They are widely considered to constitute the most important event leading to the gay liberation movement and the modern fight for LGBT rights in the United States.

The carnival parade will go from Václavské Náměstí through the street Na Příkopě to náměstí Republiky, from there it will continue through Revoluční, Řásnovka, and Klášterská to Dvořákovo nábřeží. The parádě will walk through náměstí Curieových to Čechův bridge and after that up to the stairs to Letná, where in the past years, people could then enjoy a concert.

Located just under the stairs leading to the Prague Castle, The Castle Pub & Restaurant is a local restaurant serving a variety of dishes to satisfy everyone’s palate.

The menu ranges from traditional Czech dishes to more international dishes such as fillet steak and mushroom risotto. When asked the three best dishes the owner would recommend a customer to order, he had to ponder upon his answer because there is so much to choose from! He finally came out with the top three; the steak tartare, the pork knee and the golden duck breasts. He also added that the pork knee is the most ordered item on the menu, as it is a dish that’s most striking and definitely interesting to people unfamiliar with the Czech cuisine.

If you’re searching for a place to eat a hearty and delicious breakfast, look no further! From 8 to 12 am the restaurant offers a marvel of different breakfast dishes to satisfy any morning cravings. They offer a ‘continental breakfast’ which consists of the classic breakfast foods; ham, cheddar homemade marmalade, butter with either a croissant or toast. Additionally, they have scrambled eggs, eggs benedict or an omelette that is available to be cooked with a sortiment of other ingredients that you can choose from. Most importantly, they also offer English Breakfast, French Toast and for those searching for a lighter meal, they also have what they call a ‘Healthy Breakfast’, with homemade müsli and fruit.

They now also offer a daily special menu consisting of the soup of the day and three main dishes. The complete menu as a whole is reorganized every three to four months, so there’s almost always something new to look forward to trying. If you have a sweet tooth they have special medieval pancakes which are fluffy butter pancakes served with grilled apples, pecan nuts, raisins, and maple syrup. However, of course, they also have regular ice cream to cool you off on a hot day. Last but not least, for vegetarians, the restaurant may seem questionable, however, the menu is very flexible and upon request, dishes are available to be altered to not include meat.

Now, for those of you waiting for the ‘pub’ part of the restaurant; they have Guinness and a selection of Czech beers on tap, so it’s very easy to try specialty beers you’ve never had before. They also have a very impressive variety of wines, one of the most significant being the Austrian wine, Grüner Veltliner Per Due, which is made out of Austria’s signature grape. The drink menu offers over a hundred different drinks from subtle cocktails to liquor or any kind, perfect for a Friday after work gets together with coworkers.

The interior of the restaurant is mostly wooden, making it a very cozy space to relax in at any time of the day. In the summer, the stone white walls keep the inside temperature lower than outside, and in the winter they have a fireplace that helps keep the customers warm while they sit and enjoy their mulled wine. Downstairs, there’s a small room that’s available to rent out (space for around 45 people) and can be used for sports streaming or live music.

Overall, The Castle Pub & Restaurant is a lovely place to relax and enjoy a delicious meal for prices that are lower than in surrounding restaurants. All staff speaks English, are very friendly and are ready to help you with anything you’d need. That’s enough from us, now it’s time for you to go check it out for yourselves!

The festival with a parade first happened in August 2011. Back then it attracted a will conundrum of conservative people protesting against it, as according to them it was an obscene showcase that was trying to force the idea of homosexuality on them. This phrase was also used by at the time president Václav Klaus, which according to him, it was something that needed to be fought against. Fortunately, the protests kept getting weaker and weaker with every passing year and now Prague Pride participants can feel safer than in previous years.

The festival will begin on Monday the 5th of August and will last until the Sunday of the 11th, the program, however, has still not been released. The carnival parade will go from Václavské Náměstí through the street Na Příkopě to náměstí Republiky, from there it will continue through Revoluční, Řásnovka, and Klášterská to Dvořákovo nábřeží. The parádě will walk through náměstí Curieových to Čechův bridge and after that up to the stairs to Letná, where in the past years, people could then enjoy a concert.
