Prague is continuing to expand its cycling infrastructure, but the number of recorded bicycle journeys across the city has remained largely unchanged. Automatic counters installed on major cycling routes recorded about 5.6 million passages in 2025, roughly 1 percent fewer than the previous year. After adjusting for counter failures and temporary route closures, however, the Technical Road Administration (TSK) calculated a 0.4 percent increase in cycling traffic. Prague Adds 18 Kilometers of Routes Away From Traffic The city added 18 kilometers of two-way cycle paths and other cycling routes separated from motor traffic during the year. The total length of marked cycling routes increased by one kilometer to approximately 550 kilometers. Routes separated from car traffic now account for 263 kilometers of the network, an increase of seven kilometers compared with the previous year. TSK operates automatic counters at 31 locations on Prague’s main cycling routes. The devices use induction loops or radar to record cyclists and can determine their direction of travel. The largest increase in two-way cycling routes came over the past year. Their combined length grew from 63 to 81 kilometers. These routes allow cyclists to travel in both directions on streets that are otherwise one-way for...
A new urban festival is aiming to become a regular fixture on Prague’s cultural calendar after attracting 1,200 visitors to its first edition in Riegrovy sady. Groovy Market Fest, held on August 1, brought together food, design, music and local brands in a format inspired by European city markets. According to the organizers, around 85% of visitors were tourists or foreign residents of Prague, highlighting the event’s appeal beyond the Czech-speaking audience. The festival will return to Riegrovy sady on September 5, with further editions planned for October, November and December. From Barcelona to Prague Groovy Market Fest was founded by Marek Novák and Veronika Kracíková, a couple with experience in Prague’s food scene and Barcelona’s street-food culture. Their interest in international gastronomy also led them to compete in Spain. In 2025, they won first place in the Cooking The Street competition, where their dish was judged by a professional panel that included chefs Beñat Ormaetxea and Jon Kepa Aurrecoetxea. After returning to Prague, they decided to develop their own event, drawing inspiration from markets such as Barcelona’s Palo Alto Market. The First Edition Food Garden focused on gastronomy, while Palm Street featured local products and handmade goods. The Design...

Beer remains a staple of the Czech shopping basket, but new sales data from online supermarket Rohlík shows that drinking habits are gradually changing. Traditional lagers still dominate, while non-alcoholic beer is recording the fastest growth among the main beer categories. The category has grown by more than a quarter over the past year, with Birell among the brands driving the increase. Birell sales alone are up by almost 20%. Together with flavoured beers and radlers, non-alcoholic beer now accounts for close to one-third of all beer sales on Rohlík. Beer from small and regional breweries is also gaining ground, with sales increasing by more than 11%. The biggest decline is being recorded among craft beers grouped by style, including IPA and APA. This is currently the only major beer segment experiencing a year-on-year drop. Czech brands continue to dominate the market. More than nine out of every 10 beers sold through Rohlík are from domestic brands. Imported beers, however, are growing at a faster rate. Their sales have increased by 18% year-on-year. Beer sales peak at the weekend Friday is the busiest day for beer sales, with roughly twice as much beer sold as on Monday. Friday and Saturday...
A floating swimming pool could be built along the Vltava River in Prague’s Holešovice district, near U Vody Park. Prague 7 City Hall is considering using a section of the waterfront near the Port 7 development for the project. The municipality hopes the pool could be ready within three years, although the cost has not yet been determined. The project is still in its early stages. The district is currently looking into whether it could obtain older or unused pontoons and adapt them to create the swimming facility. One of the main questions is where the pool water would come from. Prague 7 is considering both the Vltava and the municipal water supply. The aim would be to use this data to determine when swimming in the river is considered safe. Čižinský has suggested introducing a simple traffic-light system similar to those used in cities such as Copenhagen and Amsterdam, allowing swimmers to see whether conditions are suitable. According to Čižinský, the Vltava generally has good enough water quality for swimming, although conditions can deteriorate after heavy rainfall. Recent measurements support this concern. Prague hygiene officials have been monitoring the water at Branická beach since the beginning of this year....
