Prague’s annual Beer on Náplavka festival will return to the banks of the Vltava River on June 19 and 20, bringing dozens of Czech microbreweries, live music and street food. Now in its 14th year, the event has become one of the city’s largest gatherings dedicated to Czech craft brewing. Organizers say around 40 mini and microbreweries from across the country will take part this year, offering visitors a mix of traditional lagers and modern top-fermented beers. The festival opens on Friday at 2 p.m. and continues until 9 p.m. Saturday’s program starts earlier, at 10 a.m., and also runs until the evening. According to festival director Jiří Sedláček, more than 10,000 people attend the event every year, with visitors consuming roughly 14,000 liters of beer over the two-day program. Alongside beer tastings, the festival will feature around 25 food stalls serving a broad selection of dishes designed to pair with Czech and international beers. Visitors can expect grilled meat specialties, Balkan dishes, burgers, tacos, quesadillas, Belgian fries, bruschetta, artisan pizza and sausages made from Přeštice pigs. Coffee stands will also be available throughout the venue. Admission to the festival remains free. Organizers will once again serve beer exclusively in...
Lime is making a major change in Prague this year, ending its shared scooter service and focusing only on electric bikes across the city. The company says the change reflects how people in Prague are increasingly using bikes for longer daily journeys, particularly for commuting, short business trips across the city, and connections between public transport stops. According to Lime, trips made on shared e-bikes in Prague are around 20 percent longer than those made on scooters, pushing the company to redesign its local strategy for the 2026 season. At the center of the new approach is a subscription called LimePrime. For a monthly fee of 49 CZK, riders gain access to lower minute-by-minute pricing aimed at regular city travel. Under the new model, a five-minute ride costs around 15 CZK, while a twenty-minute journey comes to roughly 30 CZK — less than the price of a standard public transport ticket in Prague. “Our goal is to be present during everyday movement around Prague — whether people are commuting to work in the morning, traveling between meetings during the day, or returning home in the evening,” said Václav Petr, who oversees Lime’s operations in the Czech Republic and Hungary. He...
For two days at the end of May, vineyards scattered across Prague will swing open their gates — many of them sites that remain closed to visitors for most of the year. On May 30 and 31, 2026, residents and tourists alike will have the chance to walk through municipal and private vineyards, taste locally produced wines, and hear the stories behind some of the city’s oldest green spaces. Most vineyards will be open free of charge between 10:00 and 18:00 on both Saturday and Sunday. The exception is the St. Clare Vineyard (Vinice sv. Kláry), where a small entrance fee covers a guided cellar and vineyard tour plus two wine samples. Two locations — Salabka and the St. Wenceslas Vineyard — will only take part on Sunday, May 31. Where to Go Lysolajská Vineyard — Sportovců 50/4, Prague 6 – Lysolaje | Bus 160, 355 (Žákovská) | Guided tours both days, 10:00–18:00 Modřanská Vineyard — Chuchelská 1, Prague 4 – Modřany | Tram 17 / Bus 117 (Modřanská škola) | Guided tours both days, 10:00–18:00 Salabka Vineyard & Restaurant — K Bohnicím 849/2a, Prague 7 – Troja | Bus 112, 234, 235, 236 | Guided tour and wine tasting...
Strawberry season in the Czech Republic is getting underway earlier than many expected. Several farms are welcoming pickers from mid-May, with the bulk of the season running through late May and into June. Kunratická Jahodárna in Prague is among the first to open, targeting a start date no later than May 20. Other operations across the country are planning to follow in late May or early June, though exact dates remain weather-dependent. “The weather is unpredictable and difficult to forecast,” says Jan Simandl, who runs Farma Simandl in the Vysočina region. “We expect to begin picking in early June.” Prices are going up — but only slightly Most farms are not planning dramatic price hikes, though nearly all acknowledge that costs have risen. Inputs like fertilizers and chemicals have become more expensive, and that is beginning to show at the farm gate. At Kunratická Jahodárna, assistant to the director Eva Jakoubek Čorbová was direct: “The price will definitely be higher. Our costs have increased — everything has become more expensive.” At Albaflor, manager Jiří Sixta put a number to it. Prices will rise by ten crowns compared to last year, when a kilogram sold for 79 crowns. That said, the...
Long before air travel reshaped Europe, luxury trains defined how people crossed the continent. In Prague, that era has been brought back to life through a restored dining carriage dating to 1906, offering passengers a glimpse into how travel once looked—and tasted. The historic restaurant car, originally built in Smíchov by the Ringhoffer company, has been carefully restored and now operates on special routes departing from the Czech capital. Designed for the Swiss Dining Car Company, the carriage once served passengers across the railway network of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Guests are served a multi-course menu inspired by historical recipes, paired with drinks, in an interior that closely reflects its original design. The restoration itself took two years and required extensive work. According to the team behind the project at the Museum of Old Machines and Technologies in Žamberk, much of the carriage had to be rebuilt due to missing or damaged components. Specialists focused on preserving the smallest details, including brass fixtures and original-style lighting. Where original elements could not be saved, replacements were crafted using historical references to maintain authenticity. The culinary side of the experience was developed in collaboration with JLV, a catering company linked to Czech Railways....
A bar is opening in Prague where you will not find a single drop of alcohol. Not a craft IPA, not a glass of wine, not a shot of anything. Just well-made drinks — and according to the people behind it, that is entirely the point. Sober Bar is set to open in the coming weeks on Italská Street, a short walk from Náměstí Míru. The concept has been seven years in the making, driven by co-owner Tobiáš Pikart, who has previously co-owned well-known Prague venues including Boothill and Midgard Bar. At the bar, guests will find a four-tap ramp serving non-alcoholic ciders — primarily French imports — alongside Prager Cider, a seasonal Bernard (grapefruit in spring and summer, plum in winter), and rotating foreign specials. The selection changes as the kegs do. Canned options and limited editions will also be available, giving regulars a reason to return. Cocktails — or mocktails, as the category is now widely known — will be prepared using dealcoholized spirits from Sober Spirits, a French producer based in Grasse. Their lineup includes non-alcoholic interpretations of rum, gin, and whiskey, each designed to replicate the complexity and ritual of the original without the alcohol content....
Beer production in the Czech Republic has fallen to its lowest level in 15 years, reflecting a broader shift in how and where people drink. Data from the Czech Association of Breweries and Malteries show that breweries produced 19.96 million hectoliters last year, down 4.3 percent from the previous year and well below pre-pandemic levels. Consumption is also declining. The average Czech drank 121 liters of beer last year, a drop equivalent to eight large beers compared to the year before. The figures point to a deeper change in behavior, especially among younger people. Beer is no longer treated as a default part of social life in pubs. Instead, younger consumers are choosing non-alcoholic options, fruit radlers and specialty beers. Overall consumption is lower, but more selective. Brewers say the shift reflects a growing focus on lifestyle and moderation. Drinkers are paying more attention to quality and variety rather than volume. Interest in non-alcoholic beer has risen steadily, while demand for stronger, traditional lagers has weakened. Non-alcoholic beer, once a marginal category, has become one of the fastest-growing segments. Production reached 1.68 million hectoliters last year, with consumption more than doubling over the past decade. Industry representatives say this is...
A new private clinic in Prague is set to introduce a different approach to healthcare, focusing on prevention and long-term health management rather than treating illness after it appears. HX Clinic will open on May 11, 2026, positioning itself as the first facility in the Czech Republic built around the concept of Medicine 3.0. The model reflects a broader shift in healthcare thinking. Instead of reacting to disease, Medicine 3.0 aims to predict risks, detect early changes, and intervene before conditions develop. The approach treats health as something that evolves over time and can be actively managed using data and targeted strategies. At the core of the clinic’s operations is its proprietary HX Continuum methodology. This system brings together data from multiple medical disciplines to map out an individual’s health trajectory. Doctors and specialists assess six key areas, including cardiovascular health, metabolism, and cognitive function, then use these insights to build a long-term plan tailored to each client. The clinic’s protocols are overseen by an independent scientific council made up of Czech and international experts in medicine and research. The group is responsible for setting clinical standards and updating them as new scientific findings emerge. HX Clinic combines traditional medical...
Prague is set to mark Mother’s Day with a new kind of event this weekend, as the first-ever Mother’s Day Race takes place in Stromovka on Sunday, May 10. The 4-kilometre run is open to all women, including mothers with strollers, offering a more relaxed and inclusive approach to running. Rather than focusing on performance, the event aims to bring together movement, community, and a shared experience. The race begins at 10:00 a.m. near the Industrial Palace at the Exhibition Grounds, with around 150 participants expected. Organisers say the goal is to create a welcoming space for women at different stages of life—from pregnancy and early motherhood to those simply looking to spend the day actively. The initiative comes from SheMoves, founded by Chantelle Tuma and Barbara Blahák Adamska, in collaboration with the MotherGood community. Both groups focus on physical and mental well-being, encouraging women to stay active and connected. “This race felt like a natural way to bring movement and motherhood together in a simple and meaningful way,” said Tuma. The event also includes a charity element, with part of the entry fee going to WOMEN FOR WOMEN, a Czech organisation supporting single mothers and families in difficult situations....
A major international exhibition dedicated to the world of Harry Potter is set to open in Prague this summer, bringing one of the most successful entertainment franchises to the Czech capital. Harry Potter™: The Exhibition will welcome its first visitors on August 6, 2026, at PVA EXPO Prague Letňany, with tickets went on sale on May 4 at via official platforms. Organized by Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences, Imagine, and Eventim Live, the exhibition has already attracted more than four million visitors worldwide. Prague will be its next stop, offering a large-scale, immersive look at the wizarding world as seen in the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts films, as well as the stage production Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. The exhibition focuses on some of the best-known moments, characters, and settings from the series, combining original film props, authentic costumes, and interactive elements. Visitors can expect a behind-the-scenes perspective on how the films were made, alongside detailed environments designed to recreate familiar scenes from the story. At the entrance, guests are introduced to the story with a display of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, presented in a vault inspired by Gringotts Bank. From there, the exhibition moves into...
A large-scale exhibition built entirely from LEGO bricks has opened in Prague, bringing together hundreds of models that push the limits of size, detail and imagination. Spread across 1,500 square meters at Westfield Černý Most, the show features more than 100 installations made from nearly 15 million bricks. Organizers describe the concept as an “invasion of giants,” a reference both to the physical scale of the exhibits and to the cultural figures they depict. Some models stretch up to 60 meters in length, while the largest individual build required around 600,000 pieces. Find all the info and tickets here. Others focus on well-known characters from film, sport and popular culture. Among the central attractions is a full-scale reconstruction inspired by the Ferrari F40. Standing over four meters tall, the model replicates the iconic car using hundreds of thousands of LEGO elements, with close attention to proportion and detail. Nearby, a three-meter-high spacecraft modeled on a TIE Fighter from the Star Wars universe dominates another section of the hall. One of the most striking installations is a long segment of the Great Wall of China, recreated at a scale of 1:150 and extending up to 60 meters. It is presented as...
A former industrial site just outside Prague is once again turning into a late-night playground for food and music lovers. The ZE MĚ Project, a creative food collective, is bringing back its Frying Room concept on May 15, 2026, at Uhelný Mlýn—a former brownfield site transformed into an event space near the city. Described as a “gastro rave,” Frying Room mixes electronic music with live culinary performances. The idea is simple but unusual: chefs, artists, and guests share the same space, blurring the line between kitchen and dancefloor. The upcoming edition will be headlined by Czech producer and DJ NobodyListen, known for his Addict party series and a nomination at the Anděl Awards. He’ll be joined by the collective Zlomená Scéna, which focuses on drum & bass and underground sounds. View this post on Instagram A post shared by ze mě (@zeme.projekt) The event begins even before arrival. Ticket holders can board a private train from Prague that takes them directly to the venue, setting the tone for the night. For those driving, parking is available on site. Inside, expect a mix of DJ sets, experimental food experiences, and a live гастрономic show designed to be as intense...
