If you want to get to know the Czech Republic with everything it offers, you must taste a glass of beer – golden treasure Czechs are very proud of. Beer festivals are an excellent opportunity for you to do so. It is a tradition that every fairly large brewery has its festival at least once a year. And what is the program like? Beer, beer specialities in the form of various kinds of grilled meat and cheese. This is accompanied by a musical performance and some kind of surprise of the night. Visit, for example, the Bernard Fest 2022 (24–25 June) in Humpolec, Bohemian-Moravian Highlands, CLOCK/DAY (23 July) in the eastern Bohemian village of Potštejn or the Radegast Day (27 August) at the Radegast Brewery in Nošovice. In addition to beer and food, the program also features cultural and musical events as is appropriate to a proper festival. Then, Dočesná in Žatec (3–4 September) is an event combining the features of a beer and music festival. The town that gave its name to the highest-quality hop variety has prepared a quality musical program involving the tasting of more than 100 beer types this year. And where you can go if...

Tram 23 is a brilliant opportunity to see all the important areas in Prague. The public transportation company calls it Nostalgic line No. 23 and it’s not without a reason. The tram goes from Vinohrady, crossing one of the Prague’s main traffic hubs I.P.Pavlova, down to Karlovo Náměstí within walking distance from Dancing house, continues to Národni Třída and National Theatre, where you can get the wonderful view across the river to the Prague Castle and Petřín tower. Then it crosses the river to Újezd and Malostranské náměstí, where you can sit on Pražské židle, or decide whether you wanna go to the Charles Bridge, walk up to the Prague castle or continue to the Prague castle by the tram where it terminates.

The roof of the Lucerna Palace in central Prague is to be opened to the public this weekend. The rooftop will be open every day from 16:00 to 22:00. Entrance fee – 150 crowns (includes a glass of champagne). The organizers decorated the roof in Easter style and created a lively corner with rams and goats. The whole building carrying distinctive elements of subsiding Art Nouveau and incoming Modernism has been finished in 1921 by Václav Havel (the grandfather of president Václav Havel). History Since the beginning of the construction, social events were planned at the large roof terraces. However, the intent wasn’t realized. Builder Václav Havel passed away within the following year after completion of the construction. His sons Václav M. Havel and Miloš Havel were more focused on building Barrandov Terraces, Barrandov Studios and cinematic industry. Then the war came, then communists and subsequently long dispute about ownership of the Lucerna that was brought to a successful conclusion by madame Dagmar Havlová, a wife of deceased Václav Havel and owner of the palace. New era In 2014, investor Jan Bárta instigated a meeting with madame Havlová at her farm Košík and café owner Ondřej Kobza who was looking...
Like getting around on foot? A new study has figured out the best places for your next trip. It may be a cliché, but the best way to see any city is definitely by foot. No matter the location, walking is often cheaper, less stressful – and much more conducive to the chance encounter. Few pleasures beat diving down a secluded backstreet and discovering a gloriously offbeat restaurant or shop. So it’s a shame so many cities these days appear to have been designed expressly for cars. Helpfully, a new study from hotel chain Motel One has figured out which cities are best for those travellers fond of a good old ramble. It took the most popular tourist destinations in Europe, mapped out their most popular sights, then figured out how long it would take to walk between them. So, which city took the top spot? That would be Bruges in Belgium. The list compilers worked out that you could everything from the historic Begijnhof Bridge to the brilliantly quirky Frietmuseum – which, as you may have guessed, is entirely dedicated to fries – in just 29 minutes. Not bad at all. Next up on the list is Manchester, where a 30-minute walk could take in sights like...
