Some 6,000 pubs and restaurants across the Czech Republic take part in the seventh annual Czech Beer Days.
The NHL starts its season in Prague on Oct. 4, with the Philadelphia Flyers playing against the Chicago Blackhawks at Prague’s O2 Arena.
We’re sorry to be the bearer of bad news but it’s now official – summer is sadly over for another year. Autumn has officially started today (September 23) at 9.50 am on the Peninsula, as reported by the National Astronomical Observatory, which depends on the National Geographic Institute and adds that it will last 89 days and 20 hours, until December 22 begins winter. According to the Observatory, throughout the autumn Mars will be visible at dawn and after sunset, Venus, Saturn and Jupiter will be seen. In addition, on November 11 there will be a transit of Mercury ahead of the Sun that can be seen in America, Africa, and Europe and, also from Spain. This transit did not take place since May 9, 2016, and after this November 11, it will not be repeated until November 13, 2032. Transits are the apparent passage of a planet ahead of the surface of the sun. From a planet, according to the IGN, you can only see the transits of the innermost planets to it in the solar system. Earth observers can see the transits of Mercury about thirteen times per century and those of Venus, about thirteen times per thousand years. On November 11 it will be visible in...
This is a crazy special treat. Hamerský sklípek used to be known under the name of “Fajna ďura” which is actually a Northern Moravian language (not used so much in Prague) and the name of this place means literally “nice den”. And moreover, this place looks somehow like a South Moravian wine cellar. And it is a nice den. At this place, I like not only sitting by the pond and looking at the islands and ducks and herons and coots and all the green or white, as you can enjoy this place both in summer and in winter, I also like the way you get here a lot. I feel amazed by the surroundings of this quiet place as there is a tram terminal station in an industrial area about 500m from here in one direction, and a big train yard and a sports area in other directions, and you still have no idea and you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere. (Unless you look a bit to the right where the prefab houses are visible behind the cute little church.) Hamerský sklípek is actually a wine cellar (which is the meaning of the Czech word...
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Sunday announced an emergency executive action to ban the sale of flavored electronic cigarettes in the state, amid a surge of vaping-related illnesses and deaths across the country. New York would become the second state in the country behind Michigan to ban candy flavored products, which are popular with teenagers. “Vaping is dangerous. Period,” the governor said at his office in Manhattan. He described a “burgeoning health crisis” and said that vaping is getting young people addicted to nicotine. State and federal actions related to flavored e-cigarettes come as health officials around the country continue to grapple with an outbreak of a severe lung disease linked to vaping that causes severe shortness of breath and days of vomiting, fever, and fatigue. At least six deaths and hundreds of hospitalizations have been reported. New York State has had 64 cases of lung disease linked to vaping. The federal government and states ban the sale of vaping devices to minors, though government data show that last year one in five U.S. high school students said they vaped in the previous month. President Trump last week said the federal government plans to ban thousands of flavors used in e-cigarettes as health authorities investigate...
Nowadays, it became popular to have a healthy lifestyle. And certainly, those who are aware of good nutrition, also know that seafood is an essential part of it. Prague Mussel Week which is held from 23-29 September is an exciting opportunity to get to know more about seafood by tasting it in one of the mussel restaurants. Mussels are not that common sea product to eat and that is a pity. Seafood is associated to be expensive and exotic for Czechs, salmon price usually is “scaring away” people for buying it. That’s why it is frequently easier to buy pork or chicken instead of that and nothing changes. “Eating pork every day is not very healthy,” says Pierre-Manuel Boels, HOPI CEE Fish Hub. Mussels are not expensive (around 64 CZK per 1 kg) and are easy and fast to cook (4 to 6 minutes), it contains more of proteins, minerals and vitamins, and less of fat. “But be aware that mussels should be closed, if they are open, they are dead” claims Boels. What might also be attractive is that Prague became a hub of seafood in Central and Eastern Europe. “We have the freshest fish on average in Europe...

The Mastercard Global Destination Cities Index 2019, released this week, ranks 200 cities based on how many international overnight visitors they’re set to receive this year, based on actual 2019 monthly data and the weighted average of national-level tourism forecasts. The index shows the number of international overnight visitors in these cities growing by a whopping 76% since 2009 — but in recent years, the trends look pretty similar.

In 2018, the Thai capital welcomed 22.78 million international overnight visitors, with 3.34% growth forecast for 2019.

Summer is drawing to a close, and long summer days by the river, trips to the beer garden, and long hikes in the country are all about to become a thing of the past in Prague. However, there’s no need to despair. Autumn is one of the best times to be in Prague. During September and October, wine festivals explode into life throughout the country, giving you the chance to taste some extremely reasonably priced vintages in style. One such event is the Troja Wine Festival, which takes place this year on 14 September, in the courtyard of the Troja Castle in Prague 7. Prague’s Troja district is known for its vineyards and winemaking has a long tradition there. Since 1999 the City District Prague-Troja in cooperation with the Prague City Gallery has organized here the traditional celebrations of wine and young wine. Winemakers will present their products. Furthermore, one can look forward to an afternoon degustation, informal seminars about wine in the castle cellars and an accompanying program – puppet theatre, dance and fencing, games, folk music and dancers and much more.

The summer is almost over, and chilly September mornings are reminding us that autumn is just around the corner. That’s the time to start looking for indoor activities. For a long period of time, I’m trying to find a fitness activity which 1. is going to be fun, 2. I can practice with my partner and 3. will see the results after. As I don’t really enjoy a gym environment the first thing which came up on my mind was a squash. I think many people underestimate squash as a proper workout. If you think squash is a wellness sport welcome to the club. However, the opposite its truth. Squash is one of the most intense sports in the world. It’s an amazing cardio activity and while you are focusing on return each smash – you don’t have time to think you actually are working out. The best piece of advice is not to play squash because you want to burn your calories, but to play it because it is a fun activity. But just to play squash is not really enough. It’s a very physically demanding sport that’s why we highly recommend including some cardio and weights. Otherwise, after the first season, you will not...
A new report from the World Health Organisation (WHO) reveals that people in European countries tend to consume more alcohol compared to other regions in the world. According to this study, released on 4 September, adults in EU member states, Norway and Switzerland drink on average the equivalent of more than two bottles of wine per week. However, the consumption of alcohol is not homogeneous across Europe – the lowest level was registered in northern and southern EU member states and the highest in the middle band of countries. Germany, the Czech Republic, and Lithuania are the heaviest-drinking countries in Europe, while Norway and Italy recorded the lowest consumption of alcohol across the continent. Across the European population, 30.4 percent of people reported having consumed more than 60g of pure alcohol on one occasion in the last 30 days – this is equivalent to more than five drinks. The WHO report also reveals that such heavy episodic drinking is a problem in Europe. Drinking a large amount of alcohol to become intentionally intoxicated, also known as binge drinking, was most common among the adult population in Germany, Luxembourg, Czech Republic, Slovenia, and the Baltic countries, while it is least prevalent in...
