The suspension bridge in Dolní Morava appeared among the best places in the world in 2022 according to Time Magazine. A photo of the bridge was also on the cover of the magazine. The fifty-spot list also includes, for example, the Arctic and the International Space Station (ISS). Across the list, Europe took home the most awards. Most of the world is waking up after more than two years of the covid-19 pandemic, and travelers are hitting the road again. The American magazine, therefore, compiled a list of the most interesting places worth visiting this year. The Czech representative is presented with the headline “Unique Views” and according to the magazine it is a new architectural wonder in the Czech Republic. Sky Bridge 721, as the 721-meter-long bridge in the Jeseníky foothills is called, was opened this May after two years of construction. It is suspended more than 95 meters above the ground and offers panoramic views of Mlýnský potok and the vast valley shrouded in clouds. The walkway is almost four meters wide and the height of the bridge ranges from 1110 to 1116 meters. The attraction holds the Guinness World Record for the longest pedestrian suspension bridge. It surpassed...
Their names are Poly, Flora, Blesk and Šemík, and they are just a few of the nineteen horses at Letná’s newly renovated carousel, which just yesterday started turning again for the first time in almost two decades. The day of the launch of the historical carousel was not chosen randomly. It was on July 11, 1894, that it was installed in Prague 7. The carousel itself is even older. In 1892, it had already been established in Vinohrady. The monument was bought in 2004 by the National Technical Museum because it is one of the oldest surviving floor carousels in Europe. At that time, however, the carousel was in a state of disrepair, despite having been declared a monument in 1991. “For the entire time that the carousel has been under the management of the museum, we have struggled with a lack of funds and many technical problems caused by the fact that it is a European unique model, which no companies knew how to restore,” said the General Director of the National Technical Museum, Karel Ksander. There were several tentative suppliers, but they all ended unsuccessfully thanks to the low asking price, which was originally set at five and a half million....

It’s not always easy to find new things to do in Prague. Hiding in plain sight, though, just a few steps from the Charles Bridge on a charming little alleyway, is Ping Pong Point—the only establishment bringing casual table tennis to the masses in Prague. It’s an unassuming storefront, but inside is a lovely, casual hang-out spot for locals and tourists alike, offering a professional standard pin pong table and everything needed to get started. Petr and his business partner Stan grew up playing ping pong. But when they came to Prague for business, they found a severe lack of available tables. They’d searched for places to play, but not wanting to play in a gym, they came up totally empty. Foosball dominated the bars, and even then, game tables were slowly being replaced by seating areas to accommodate more crowds. What used to be a European bar staple had totally disappeared. During COVID, though, Petr saw an opportunity when a storefront became available next door to him. He knew that he could use the space to create a novel space for the community to gather. Ping Pong Point is perfectly positioned next to a restaurant, and Petr encourages people...

Just five years ago, enthusiasts from the non-profit organization Prague Center began to revive the disused Kasárna Karlín (Karlín Barracks) complex in the center of Prague. The unique space, used for cultural and social events, is preparing a special program for its fifth anniversary. The celebrations will take place from 22 to 26 June 2022. “We’ll have an outdoor stage and a number of concerts and other accompanying programs,” says one of its organizers, Matěj Velek. On the last weekend of June, bands like Kill The Dandies, The Atavists, and Orient will play, as well as the Prague Conservatory String Orchestra and Anna Vaverková. “In five years, we have built a unique place, which offers concerts and a cinema, but also a stylish cafe, beach volleyball, a sauna, and a playground. We are a cultural oasis for everyone and the birthday program affirms that,” describes Matěj. The modern history of the Karlín Barracks began in the spring of 2017 when the Prague Center took over the space. It brought a rich cultural and social program to the unused space of the classicist military barracks. Hundreds of thousands of visitors, be they students, parents, children, or seniors, have attended hundreds of screenings,...
Sometimes it’s necessary to visit a bike service and there are lots of them in Prague. We highly recommend if you’re a keen cyclist to do so before and after the season. In spring, bike services will make sure that all the components are in good shape, they will inspect the wear of tires, chain, brake pads and other parts to make sure that your bike is ready for the season and you won’t have any unexpected surprises when planning your weekend ride or some other bike related activities. After the season, they will make sure that you have all your bearings greased, brakes bled, refilled sealant in the tires, and that the bike is in good shape to either continue riding into the winter or wait for the warmer days. There are certain things you can do yourself to lengthen the lifespan of your components. First and foremost, it’s necessary to keep the drivetrain in a good condition. Cleaning the chain, wiping it down after every ride, especially after a muddy one is a good start. In Czech, there is a saying: “cleanliness is half of health” and a similar can be said about bikes. Keeping your bike clean...
