On May 31, Manifesto Market in Anděl will open the taps on its latest project: a new, brand-free beer bar devoted entirely to celebrating Czech brewing culture. Developed by the team behind SOOT Bar and Berlin’s award-winning Himitsu Speakeasy, the concept skips the branding — offering no official name — and instead focuses on top-quality beer, both classic and craft. The new venue will feature up to 12 beers on tap, including Czech mainstays like Pilsner Urquell, Budvar 33, and Únětická 12° nefiltrovaná, alongside rotating craft selections from breweries like Zichovec, Matuška, Antoš, and long-time Manifesto partners such as Vinohradský pivovar. “There’s a shift happening,” says Martin Barry, founder and CEO of Manifesto. “Czechs may be drinking less mass-produced beer, but there’s a growing appetite for craft brews. Beer has always been one of our top-sellers — now we’re giving it the attention it deserves.” The beer list won’t be the only draw. The space will include a curated selection of over 30 bottled and canned beers from across the country, and a bi-monthly rotation of limited-edition craft beers, ensuring there’s always something new to taste. Daniel Prokeš, formerly of Almanac X Alcron and Andaz Prague, will manage the bar....
It’s that time again. Head to the fields and pick your own strawberries in Prague and around Czechia. Every year, the Czech Ministry of Agriculture encourages people to choose Czech berries as they are much tastier and healthier than imported ones. “Our strawberries are riper, juicier and more delicious. This is due to the fact that foreign producers deliberately grow hard varieties for export so that they can endure long transports,” the ministry explains. Many Czech farmers traditionally offer their clients to come to their own fields and pick their own strawberries. In this case, they will cost almost half as much as in a normal shop. This service is called samosběr and is in great demand. It is not only about economic gain: for many nature lovers, the picking process is a pleasure in itself. Here you can also find a special website with a list of farms that offer this service. You can select the region where you live and a list of farms appears. By clicking on the name of the farm, you will find all the information you need (price, address, opening hours, etc.). Self-harvesting dates are weather-dependent and often change at the last minute....
Rekola has officially reintroduced shared e-bikes to the streets of Prague, marking its return to electric micromobility after a six-year absence. The company’s signature apricot-colored e-bikes are now available to the public, complementing its fleet of classic pink bicycles already spread across the capital. The rollout begins with 50 e-bikes capable of reaching speeds up to 25 km/h, with plans to expand the fleet to just under 100. Rekola currently operates around 1,000 classic bikes in Prague. The reintroduction comes with clear goals: to make urban mobility more accessible, provide a cheaper alternative to services like Lime and Bolt, and expand availability to hilly neighborhoods where traditional bikes are less practical. Rekola’s pricing strategy undercuts the competition: Rekola: 10 CZK to unlock + 5 CZK/min Lime: 15 CZK to unlock + 5.9 CZK/min Bolt: 7 CZK to unlock + 7 CZK/min A 10-minute ride on an e-Rekola costs 60 CZK, while the same trip with Lime would be 74 CZK and Bolt charges 77 CZK. This isn’t Rekola’s first foray into electric bikes. In 2019, it briefly deployed a fleet of 70 e-bikes in Prague, supported by Inoga and entrepreneur Ondřej Fritz. Those bikes, with 250W motors and a top...
Czechia’s two largest cities—Prague and Brno—have secured spots on the global list of the happiest places to live, according to the latest Happy Cities Index published by the Institute for Quality of Life. The index evaluates 200 cities around the world, ranking them based on factors such as governance, civic participation, economy, healthcare, environmental quality, and mobility. Although Prague and Brno appeared in the lower quarter of the ranking, their inclusion still highlights a positive quality of life in the Czech Republic. Europe Leads the Way in Urban Happiness Copenhagen took the top spot in the 2025 ranking, scoring 1,039 points. The Danish capital not only offers efficient governance and a strong economy, but also places a strong emphasis on sustainability and culture. Nearly 70% of transportation in Copenhagen is eco-friendly, and the city even hosts its own Museum of Happiness, underlining its commitment to resident well-being. Zurich followed in second place with 993 points, thanks to its robust economy, world-class healthcare, and environmental initiatives. The Swiss city is frequently cited for its high standard of living and sustainable transport systems. In third place—the highest-ranked non-European city—was Singapore, earning 979 points. The city-state received praise for its top universities, low...

The Craft Beer Festival, set to take place on Friday, 23 May, will offer a one-day showcase of more than 20 unique Czech breweries—many of which don’t typically distribute in the capital. Held in the outdoor area in front of Cross Club, the event promises a mix of flavors, styles, and brewing philosophies, all designed to challenge your taste buds and expand your beer horizons. These are beers you won’t usually find on tap in the capital—many come from smaller regional brewers, and some are produced by so-called nomadic breweries, which brew their beer wherever they can find space. They don’t own their own facilities, but they bring their own recipes, brewing styles, and ideas to existing breweries. It’s an approach that keeps things flexible, personal, and often more experimental than what you’d get from big commercial producers. The festival will include some non-alcoholic craft options as well. As with any beer event, food plays a big role. There’ll be burgers, Belgian fries, Colombian street food, and the usual Cross Club menu. DJs will be playing all evening, and ticket holders get free entry to Cross Club later that night. For Czech speakers, there’s a bonus: Martin Rybar, an expert...

Parukářka Park — one of Prague’s liveliest green spaces — is set to transform into a celebration of Czech brewing this June as Žižkovské Pivobraní 2025 returns for another year. The two-day festival, a local favorite, runs from Friday, June 6 to Saturday, June 7, and features free admission, making it one of the city’s most accessible summer events. This year’s lineup includes over 100 beers from 35 independent Czech breweries — everything from classic pale lagers to IPAs, wheat beers, and creative fruit infusions. It’s a chance to sample the depth of the Czech brewing tradition far beyond the usual supermarket names. “It’s not just a beer festival,” says Jan H., a Žižkov resident who’s attended for the past three years. “It feels like the whole neighborhood shows up — friends, families, even dogs. There’s music, food, and people dancing. It’s a great start to summer.” The event isn’t only about what’s in your glass. The organizers from Prague 3 have curated a lineup of live music covering everything from folk and indie to rock and brass bands. Stages will be set up right in the park, with performances running throughout both days. Food stalls will offer a full...
For one weekend only, the Czech Republic will open the gates to nearly 300 gardens and parks, many of which are normally closed to the public. The popular Open Gardens Weekend 2025 returns on Saturday and Sunday, June 7–8, offering a rare opportunity to explore hidden green spaces across the country. Visitors can access a wide range of sites—from historical gardens and botanical collections to orchards, monasteries, and even old cemeteries. Each participating location offers something unique, whether it’s architectural value, ecological innovation, or a fascinating backstory. Not all gardens offer free entry, and some require advance booking or have limited access. Visitors are strongly encouraged to check details in advance for each location on the official website: www.vikendotevrenychzahrad.cz The event originated in the United Kingdom in 1998, under the name Open Garden & Squares Weekend, and has since inspired similar events across Europe. The Czech edition aims to raise public awareness about landscape design, gardening, and the cultural role of public green spaces. “We want to broaden the public’s understanding of gardens, parks, and public spaces, and present them with the stories and secrets behind each place,” the organizers said. “Every garden that participates brings something exceptional—whether it’s a...
One of the city’s most visited summer spots, Petynka swimming pool, will reopen for the season on May 1, welcoming guests with a range of new features. This year, a mobile application will give visitors real-time updates on water temperature, air temperature, and the number of guests and free parking spots. The app also offers the convenience of online ticket purchases, reducing wait times at the entrance. Those planning to spend a full day at the pool will enjoy the newly added refreshment stand, now capable of preparing hot meals—a change that not only broadens the menu but also speeds up service. Meanwhile, the old benches, which had lost both function and appeal, have been replaced by modern seating throughout the premises. Other upgrades include anti-slip tiling in the main shower area, and the installation of private, lockable shower cabins—a change likely to be welcomed by regulars. Behind the scenes, the pool’s technology has been updated, and new security cameras have been installed to ensure greater safety and monitoring. Admission prices remain unchanged from last year: 250 CZK for an all-day pass 330 CZK for one adult and one child 420 CZK for one adult with two children – a...
