Historic Invalidovna Building in Prague Begins Major Reconstruction

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

More Czechs Are Living Paycheck to Paycheck, New Survey Finds

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

Airbnb Accounts for 1 Percent of Prague’s Housing Stock, Analysis Finds

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

GALLERY: Light Installation “Synapse” Coming to Florenc Metro Station

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

Partial Lunar Eclipse to Be Visible From Prague at Dawn on August 28

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