It’s a strange feeling—floating past Prague Castle, seeing tourists on Charles Bridge, while you relax with a drink on a sunny deck with just a few friends. This is the experience offered by YachtBoat Prague, a local company that’s been running private cruises on the Vltava since 2019. Their concept is simple but effective: small groups, private space, and full control over the journey. No loudspeaker tours, no strangers sitting next to you—just your group and the river. We joined a three-hour afternoon cruise aboard YachtBoat ONE, one of the company’s three vessels. From the starting point at Naplavka (check the exact point on the map here), we set off with our captain, Karel. There’s no set script for the route. “Tell me what you want to see, or just sit back and I’ll show you the highlights,” he said as we pulled away from the dock. We passed Vyšehrad, with its cliffs and twin-spired basilica, then headed towards the heart of the city. The boat was surprisingly spacious, with an upper deck, a working grill, and even a small bar area with a beer tap. Below deck, there’s a bathroom with a shower and toilet, which, as anyone who’s done...
What started as a bold experiment in Prague’s city center has now become a popular stop for tourists and locals looking for a different kind of drink experience. When the Robotic Bar opened a few years ago, its goal was simple: to change how people think about cocktail preparation. Instead of relying on a bartender’s mood or memory, the venue introduced robotic arms programmed for absolute precision. The result? Drinks that taste the same every time—down to the last milliliter. But it was never just about automation. The bar’s creators wanted the process itself to become part of the evening’s entertainment. Guests watch as the robots swing, shake, and pour with mechanical accuracy, turning each drink order into a small performance. The technology behind the Robotic Bar hasn’t stood still. Over the years, the system has undergone several upgrades, each one improving both speed and precision. The latest improvements allow the robots to handle several drink orders at the same time, cutting down wait times even during busy evenings. There’s now finer control over drink temperature and texture, ensuring that cocktails come out smoother and better balanced. Guests can also personalize their drinks more than before, with expanded options for...
Summer in Prague can be tough—hot days, little breeze, and crowded streets. While the city offers plenty of outdoor swimming pools, not everyone enjoys the chlorinated water or concrete surroundings. Many locals and visitors prefer to cool off in natural settings, away from the noise. That’s why we’ve put together a list of the best natural beaches and swimming spots in Prague—ideal for anyone looking to escape the heat without leaving the city. Zlute Lazne A large beach near the city center with a lot of entertainment included. Located on the Vltava River’s right bank, it offers several restaurants, children-friendly spaces, a dance floor, and boat rental. For those who prefer active sports, tennis, ping pong, and volleyball can be found there. Parking and bathrooms are also on the spot. Address: Podolské nábřeží 3/1184, Praha 4-Podoli Working hours: daily from 09:00 till 22:00; Cost: 100 CZK for adults/day Website Koupaliště Lhotka In July 2018, after seven years of being inactive, the reservoir “Lhotka” in Prague reopened. It underwent extensive reconstruction and now serves as a biotope. The water in the basin remains clean thanks to natural biological processes, without the use of chlorine and other chemicals. The facility has...
Life ain’t just for working, and in this day and age, we all deserve a healthy work-life balance. However, countries vary quite significantly in their attitudes towards work – some have adopted four-day working weeks while others are still lagging behind when it comes to paid time off and parental leave. Handily, Remote has just published its third annual Global Work-Life Balance Index, which assesses the top 60 GDP countries on statutory annual leave, paid maternity leave, sick leave, healthcare, public safety, public happiness, LGBTQ+ inclusivity and average working hours, granting each a score out of 100. And for the third year in a row, New Zealand has claimed the crown as the country with the best work-life balance. It got a score of 86.87 out of 100 overall, which is an improvement of six points compared to last year. Ireland came in second place with a score of 81.17, topping the ranks for Europe, and in third place it was Belgium with 75.91 overall. Czechia earned praise for its generous paid leave, accessible healthcare, and public safety—but slightly lower scores in categories like LGBTQ+ inclusivity and public happiness kept it from breaking into the top 15. These are the best countries for work-life balance New Zealand...
South Bohemia has officially overtaken Prague as the best place to live in the Czech Republic, according to the latest Place for Living (Místo pro život) survey published by the Datank agency. Once the top-ranked region, Prague has slipped to seventh place, with analysts pointing to crime, traffic, and social infrastructure as major concerns dragging the capital down. This year marks the 15th edition of the nationwide study, which combines extensive data analysis with a public satisfaction survey. The findings show that Prague now leads in several negative indicators, including the highest number of crimes per 1,000 inhabitants, the lowest crime clearance rate, and the highest rate of road accidents per 1,000 kilometers. In contrast, the South Bohemian Region climbed to the top, praised for its well-balanced mix of safety, public services, and livability. According to researchers, it stood out particularly in the low number of traffic accidents, high number of grammar schools, completed apartments, and beds in social care facilities. Other Regions on the Rise The Hradec Králové Region took second place this year, moving up from third. It was recognized for having the highest number of pharmacies, a low student-teacher ratio, above-average hospital capacity, and minimal waste generation....
Manifesto Market has expanded its culinary line-up just in time for summer, introducing three new food vendors and a refreshed cocktail menu. The additions bring new flavours from Turkey, India, and Italy, while the resident SOOT Bar debuts a new collection of locally inspired drinks. One of the new arrivals is Chef Kemal, a street food concept led by Turkish chef Kemal Deniz, who has more than 25 years of experience in his country’s cuisine. Originally from Şanlıurfa, Deniz offers a range of traditional Turkish dishes with a focus on quality ingredients and handmade preparation. The menu includes well-known staples like lentil soup (mercimek çorbası), börek, meze platters, and grilled kebabs. A highlight is the freshly made pita sandwiches, combining grilled meat or vegetables with herbs and spices in soft flatbread. More dishes are expected to be added in the coming weeks, including options from the Turkish mangal (grill). Also joining Manifesto is Naan by Lal Qila, a concept developed by Indian chef Shubhankar Chakravorty. Unlike many Indian restaurants in Europe, Naan focuses on authentic street food recipes that are popular in India but less common abroad. The centrepiece of the menu is the Kathi Roll, a paratha flatbread wrap...

Louny, a town in the Ústí nad Labem Region, holds a remarkable secret: it is home to what experts call the most healing mineral spring in Europe, and possibly the world. Comparable only to the famed springs in Borjomi, Georgia, and Vichy, France, this water’s unique composition sets it apart and attracts visitors from far beyond Czech borders—many of whom attest to its near-miraculous effects. If you find yourself in Louny, you should visit a small park tucked between Vladimirská, Palackého, U Pramenu, U Spravedlnosti, and Cítolibská streets. There, a rare mineral spring bubbles up from deep below—the Luna spring—offering therapeutic qualities unmatched anywhere else. A Discovery by Chance The Luna spring was uncovered in 1963 during geological surveys aimed at studying the Czech chalk subsoil. At a depth of 1,200 meters, workers found mineral-rich water naturally emerging under pressure. Early tests showed the water’s medicinal qualities, leading the Czech Ministry of Health to officially declare it a natural medicinal source in 1966. Since then, it has been recognized for its use in preventive healthcare. The Luna mineral water stands out for its high mineral content—an impressive 17.5 grams of dissolved salts per liter—making it hypertonic and highly acidic. This...
