From December 1 to 30, Prague hosts the exhibition Fragile Beings and a Parallel Life in the Studio by Bulgarian-born artist Rumen Sazdov at the Kronberg Gallery studio on Senovážné náměstí 8. Open daily from 11:30 AM to 6:30 PM, the space combines a gallery display with the artist’s working studio, offering visitors a unique chance to see both finished works and new canvases in progress. Sazdov, who has lived and worked in Prague since 1989, blends classical training with contemporary expressionism. Born in 1959 in Kyustendil, Bulgaria, he studied at Sofia’s Secondary School of Art and later at the Faculty of Figurative Art in Veliko Tarnovo. Over the decades, he has exhibited internationally, including in Bulgaria, New York, and Italy, and his works are part of prestigious private collections worldwide, owned by figures such as Princess Stephanie of Monaco and actor Bruce Willis. His paintings are known for their strong color, dynamic structure, and emotional depth. While modern and expressive, they remain accessible, making them suitable for collectors and interior projects alike. Sazdov’s work has been included in the international Mayer catalog and listed on Artnet, signaling both artistic recognition and investment potential. The Fragile Beings exhibition reflects his interest in...
Families across Prague are preparing for the arrival of St. Nicholas (Mikuláš), devils and angels on Friday, December 5. The trio appears each year on the eve of St. Nicholas Day, a tradition rooted in Central Europe and shaped by centuries of folklore. From afternoon walks through historic squares to community events in city districts, the celebration remains one of the biggest moments of Advent. Although St. Nicholas is marked on December 6, the Czech custom unfolds the night before. In earlier liturgical calendars, the new day began at sunset, which is why the visits take place on December 5. The practice goes back to the story of Nicholas of Myra, a 4th-century bishop known for helping the poor in what is now Turkey. Today, St. Nicholas does not arrive alone. The angel and the devil complete the group, representing reward and warning—a balance that shaped the tradition for generations. Parents in Prague often look for events that keep the atmosphere friendly rather than frightening, and many districts now organize their own gentle version. Where to See St. Nicholas in Prague The largest gatherings usually form in the historic center. Old Town Square and Wenceslas Square draw groups in detailed...
When Simple Plan last toured Europe, their shows drew multigenerational crowds who grew up with the band’s early-2000s sound. In 2026, the Canadian group will return to Prague with a performance at O2 Univers on October 18, part of their international Bigger Than You Think tour. After twenty-five years on the scene, the musicians are preparing a string of global concerts, a large-scale documentary for Amazon Prime Video, and a run of arena shows alongside Avril Lavigne and The Offspring. Simple Plan’s impact stretches back to their 2002 debut, which introduced songs that later became staples for millions of listeners. Tracks such as “I’m Just A Kid,” “I’d Do Anything,” “Shut Up!” and “Welcome to My Life” helped define the band’s early identity. Their theme for “What’s New Scooby-Doo?” later turned into one of the most recognizable pop-punk television anthems. Over the years, their mix of personal lyrics and straightforward melodies has earned them over 10 million albums sold, sold-out tours, and appearances at events like the 2010 Winter Olympics. Fans can expect the major hits, deeper cuts that shaped their early career, and the newer material signaling where their music is headed next. The show will feature a strong...
When Filmasia launched in 2005, the intention was simple: introduce Prague audiences to the pace and ambition of contemporary Asian cinema. The 21st edition of the Filmasia Asian Film Festival will explore subversive new releases and rediscover classics under the theme of Twists and Returns. In addition to nine film screenings, the festival will launch the year-long Filmasia Presents project. Running December 4–8 at Bio Oko, the 2025 edition gathers nine films from five Asian countries, arranged around the theme “Reversals and Returns.” Instead of focusing on a region, the festival follows stories in which characters double back, confront their own histories, or cross boundaries — including the line between life and death. All films will be screened in original versions with English and Czech subtitles. A Strong Korean Presence South Korean cinema, long a pillar of the festival, features prominently again. Three national titles will screen, each reflecting a different approach to revisiting the past. The film likely to draw the most attention is My Daughter Is a Zombie, the most-watched South Korean film of 2025. Screening on Sunday, December 7, director Pil Gam-seong mixes the country’s trademark flair for genre with a family story about a tiger tamer...
Kirill Postovit isn’t a household name for everyone in Prague, but within the art world, he’s long been considered one of the most distinctive Czech voices of his generation. Born in 1964, he has built a career that stretches far beyond the country’s borders, with his sculptures and paintings now present in more than seventy countries. His work appears in museums, foundations, and private collections, including the Soros Foundation in the United States, the National Embassy of Jerusalem ICEJ, and the AAMI Corporation. Postovit is best known for his public memorial sculptures and for paintings that blend surrealism, modernism, and biblical references. His palette is calm and balanced, his shapes immediately recognisable. That quality has led several critics to compare him to Marc Chagall, a reference that appears again and again in academic writing about his work. Prague has become a key hub for one recurring tradition connected to his name. Since 2014, the Katie Feygie Art Gallery has hosted a one-night exhibition called Episodes. Each year, the gallery selects a set of works from Postovit’s long-running collection of the same title. The show has become something of a ritual within the local art community: a single evening when viewers...
Deep Purple will bring their long-running world tour to Prague in the autumn of 2026, confirming a concert at the O2 arena on October 7, 2026. The evening will begin with a performance by Jayler, who will appear as the night’s special guest. Tickets start at CZK 1,200, with sales handled through Ticketmaster and Ticketportal. Early access for members of the Live Nation Club and O2 customers opens at 11:00 a.m., before general sale begins. Since forming in 1968, Deep Purple have remained one of rock’s most enduring live acts, performing worldwide and releasing studio albums that continue to reach the top of European charts. Although the group went through several stylistic phases, their most influential era remains the early 1970s, when the lineup featuring Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Ian Paice, Jon Lord and Ritchie Blackmore recorded albums that shaped the sound of hard rock. The live recording “Made in Japan” from this period is widely viewed as a milestone, with musicians across genres citing it as a reference point. Deep Purple’s current chapter continues with guitarist Simon McBride, who joined after Steve Morse stepped away from the group in 2022 for personal reasons. McBride’s arrival gave the band a...

Prague will host a full day of events on Monday, November 17, 2025, to mark the Struggle for Freedom and Democracy Day and International Students’ Day.

Residents and visitors can attend a variety of free events across the city celebrating democracy, culture, and civic engagement.

American pop-rock band OneRepublic will return to Prague next summer as part of their “From Europe With Love Tour 2026.” The concert is scheduled for June 27, 2026, at Letňany Airport, marking the band’s first major open-air performance in Czechia. The announcement follows their sold-out 2025 show at the O2 Arena, where thousands of fans filled the venue for a night of global hits. This time, Ryan Tedder and his bandmates are promising an even larger-scale concert. Formed in Colorado Springs in the early 2000s, OneRepublic quickly became one of the most successful pop-rock bands in the world. The group—Ryan Tedder, Zach Filkins, Drew Brown, Brent Kutzle, Brian Willett, and Eddie Fisher—rose to fame with their 2007 debut album Dreaming Out Loud. Its breakout single, “Apologize,” sold more than 20 million copies and earned the band a Grammy nomination. Their 2009 follow-up, Waking Up, brought further chart success with “All the Right Moves,” “Secrets,” and “Good Life.” The band reached new heights with Native (2013), featuring the global anthem “Counting Stars,” which surpassed 40 million copies sold worldwide. Over nearly two decades, OneRepublic has amassed billions of streams across platforms and continued to evolve musically. Their 2021 album Human included...
After more than five years of restoration work costing nearly CZK 300 million, the Prague City Museum on Florenc will reopen to the public on Saturday, December 6. The long-awaited return will feature a weekend program filled with family activities—and admission will be free for all visitors throughout the opening weekend. The museum’s centerpiece remains the Langweil Model of Prague, an extraordinary 19th-century miniature cityscape showing over 2,000 buildings across the Old Town, Lesser Town, and Hradčany. For the first time, the model will be displayed in twelve separate cases, allowing visitors to see even the smallest architectural details up close. The exhibition now blends historical artifacts with modern technology. Large-scale projections and interactive visuals will immerse guests in the city’s past, bringing Prague’s transformation to life on walls 22 meters long and five meters high. Museum officials say the experience rivals those in major museums abroad, combining history with digital storytelling. Visitors of all ages can also enjoy a variety of creative workshops and performances. Children will have the chance to make bird feeders and traditional Christmas decorations from the 19th century, while adults can attend puppet and music performances, author readings, and guided tours. The renovated museum is...
Every year on November 11, the Czech Republic marks St. Martin’s Day, one of the country’s most cherished autumn traditions. It’s a celebration that blends food, fine wine, and good company – a perfect way to brighten the cold days when autumn slowly turns to winter. At the heart of these festivities is the St. Martin’s goose, a dish so symbolic that restaurants across the country, from Prague to Karlovy Vary, fill their menus with it. Who Was St. Martin? The holiday honors St. Martin of Tours, a Roman soldier born in what is now Hungary. Known for his compassion, he famously cut his cloak in half to share with a freezing beggar. His act of kindness made him one of Christianity’s most beloved saints and a symbol of generosity. St. Martin’s Day falls on November 11 – traditionally the time of post-harvest feasts and the start of Advent preparations. Why a Goose? The story behind the goose dates back to legend. When the humble Martin tried to avoid being appointed bishop, he hid among a flock of geese – but their loud honking gave him away. Since then, the goose has become an inseparable part of the celebration. Historically,...
