Originally it was supposed to be a one-off event. But when the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Thailand opened the garden of her residence to the public for the first time in 2019, the interest was unexpectedly high and a tradition was born. People came to Pod Hradbami Street in Prague 6 to taste Thai specialties prepared by the ambassador’s personal chef, sip Thai Singha beer and listen to Thai music. Or indulge in a traditional massage, buy souvenirs and learn about travelling in Thailand. This year, the event will be held under the auspices of H.E. Phasporn Sangasubana, in cooperation with the Thai Business Centre in Prague and the Prague office of the Tourism Authority of Thailand on Saturday, July 15 from 2pm to 6pm.

Due to the enormous interest in previous years, the organizers point out that the number of participants is limited and will be held in the spirit of the motto: “First come, first served.” Just visiting the garden of the residence (near which...

Prague is the best region to live in the Czech Republic again this year, followed by the Hradec Kralove Region and the Vysocina Region, according to the Place to Live survey carried out by the Databank agency. Karlovy Vary Region was the worst region. The thirteenth edition of the comparative survey, known as Place to Live (Místo pro život), revealed these rankings. The survey was conducted by the analytical agency Datank and sponsored by the company Communa, which awarded the winning regions. Various social and environmental parameters, as well as resident satisfaction, were assessed in this research. The survey encompassed areas such as ecology and the environment, childcare, education, and safety. Prague was commended for its exceptional health and social care, which can be attributed to its high number of doctors and dentists, low average morbidity rate, and lengthy life expectancy. Additionally, Prague boasts highly regarded universities and outstanding performance by students in state matriculation exams for Czech and mathematics. Infrastructure and the job market also received high marks, with the city offering the highest average wages. However, the survey revealed that the capital city faces challenges in terms of ecology and safety. The city exhibits the lowest proportion of...
The Neo-Renaissance Stránov Château is situated in the village of Jizerní Vtelno near Mladá Boleslav in Central Bohemia. However, the interiors and exteriors are currently undergoing partial reconstructions. You can take a guided tour through the château interiors or climb up the Gothic castle tower with a beautiful view of the River Jizera valley. The original castle was built between 1463 and 1468 by Jaroš of Svojovice. The period is represented by the well-preserved distinctive stone tower. At that time, the castle was the centre of a relatively large property that was in the 2nd half of the 16th century in the possession of the Berka family from Dubá. It was at that time that the original castle was completely changed – rebuilt in the Renaissance style: the renovation was completed at the beginning of the 17th century. The last stage of the renovation, in the late Renaissance style, was carried out on the order of Vilém Slavata of Chlum. The look of the chateau was then maintained until the mid 18th century, when (in 1746) the family of Příchovský from Příchovice took the assets into their possession. In 1767, Jan Příchovský had a new church built on the premises...

It revolves around an extraordinary race of handcrafted, non-motorized vehicles where an array of ingeniously designed carts rely solely on human power and gravity for movement.

By: Abigail Calandra Rock climbing is a popular way to reconnect with nature and stay active while getting adrenaline pumping, but a busy schedule, a big city, and cold weather make it difficult to head out into the mountains. Without leaving the city, Prague’s indoor climbing scene provides boulderers, sport climbers, and those putting on climbing shoes for the first time a chance to send some climbs. Indoor rock climbing is an easier and safer way for new climbers to introduce themselves to the community, and Prague has gyms suited to all levels and styles. Equipped with shoes and chalk bags for rent, it’s the perfect time to wander into one of the gyms and begin your climbing journey. Bouldering, a form of climbing involving physical strength and problem-solving without the need for a harness and ropes, is the perfect introduction to climbing to improve core and grip strength and ease into conquering fears of heights. Two climbing gyms in Prague, Boulder Bar in Prague 7 and HUDY Boulder in Prague 8, are exclusively dedicated to this type of climbing. Boulder Bar is located in the Holesovice neighborhood with a local climbing community. The gym is small but newly renovated...
