I used to spend many wonderful moments in U Zavěšenýho Kafe a few years ago. Right at the foot of the hill near to the main tourist artery in Prague, Nerudova Street, it’s a stylish cafe with an unusual habit – but more about that later. I think you might appreciate the cafe after climbing up to the castle and wandering around Novy Svet. This cafe is also my recommendation, especially if the tourist trap cafes with low spirits are not tempting for you. During the week, the chef prepares lunch specials for great prices (from 12:00 – 14:00). Apart from lunchtime, you have a wide choice of nice meals. On tap there’s Czech beer and wine and the variety of coffee and drinks on the menu should satisfy almost anyone. Since we’re mentioning the coffee, I must reveal the unusual habit of this cafe…or better not. It is a really precious habit and maybe it is better if you find out for yourselves. A hint: you can get a cup of coffee even if you are broke… but you can also provide a coffee for a person in need. U Zavesenyho Kafe has a concept which is comforting and easygoing. Drop-in anytime...

Have you tried a poke bowl? If you haven’t you are seriously missing out. The unique mixture of flavors, textures, and consistency makes for a refreshing and appetizing meal. However, poke bowls aren’t just a one-trick pony, as it is one of those rare foods that are both nutritious and delicious. Basically, if you aren’t eating poke bowls you should be, and here is why. 1. It’s a nutritional rock star. Poke is one of freshest, tastiest, healthiest new food trends around. You can consume 4 ounces of poke for just under 150 calories, only 5 grams of fat, and 24 grams of protein. Not only is it naturally low in calories, but it also usually doesn’t come with rice. Unlike sushi, poke is served with a variety of veggies and fresh marinades. Glutinous rice and mayonnaise need not apply. 2. Your heart will thank you.

The first part of the long-awaited revitalization of the Prague riverfront area called Náplavka is coming to completion, making it one of the most attractive public embankments in Europe. In autumn 2019, nineteen vaults on the Rašín and Hořejší Embankments will be put into use. The masterplan of the Prague riverfront area includes a number of architectural interventions that will gradually encompass the vast riverfront area, almost 4 km in length. It is envisioned as a consistent whole, comprising a balanced architectural framework, established cultural and social content, and other program layers, as well as variable elements such as floating facilities, temporary installations and events. The stone part of the design is based on the vaults in the riverside wall; the floating part, on the large floating facilities (boat terminals, floating baths and floating toilets). Floating Pool The aim of the project is to restore the tradition of river baths through a modern badeschiff-type floating pool with complementary facilities complying with contemporary requirements. The location of the baths echoes the historical placement of swimming pools along the Vltava embankment, with their specific connection to the Rašín embankment. The swimming pool belongs to the river “realm”, while the floating facility follows...
Find this small boho paradise on the island in the middle of Prague. From June to September, you can enjoy live music, various outdoor activities, and great coffee and food. You can relax under the shades of the trees and quietly observe the life on the Vltava river with a view to Charles Bridge and National Theatre. It’s a real paradise that will take you far away from your everyday reality. Cocovan This oasis of peace is a great project of one couple, Baronka and David. In previous years, they run a successful Camp Žižkov and popular Coffee Corner. However, they had to close the business in 2016. So, they bought a retro van from 1969 and reconstructed it for mobile café in a bohemian style. Name CoCo Van refers to their previous COffee COrner. They traveled with Cocovan to various festivals, and they became so popular with their boho concept, so they received an offer from Malostranská beseda who is responsible for this area, to run a program for a whole island in the same vibes. In summer 2018, Cocovan finally parked to Střelecký Ostrov. Baronka with David created a permanent boho paradise for all visitors searching for a...
French artist Tatiana Bongonga will be walking a tightrope 35 metres above the Vltava river. The rope will be 350 meters long. The dizzying spectacle will take place on Wednesday, August 14 from 6 pm and is accompanied by a chamber orchestra, without any safety equipment. The rope will go from the Faculty of Law, across the Vltava River to Letná Park. Acrobats practicing tightrope walking, also called funambulism, maintain their balance by positioning their center of mass directly over their base of support, a rope or a wire. Tatiana has been a performer since the age of 7 when she took her first tentative steps on a 10-meter high wire. Author: red
A poll conducted by website Big Seven Travel among its 1.5 million audience revealed that tourists find Ukrainians to be the sexiest nation on the planet. To illustrate a representative of this nation, the site named Hollywood actress Mila Kunis who indeed has Ukrainian roots and was born in the city of Chernivtsi in the Ukrainian SSR. In second place was Denmark, home to such hunks as Lord of the Rings actor Viggo Mortensen. Filipino was shown to be the third best-looking nationality in the world. The Philippines produce a number of Miss World participants and singer Bruno Mars is of Filipino ancestry on his mother’s side. The fourth sexiest nationality was Brazilian. Famous Brazilians include supermodels Adriana Lima and Gisele Bündchen. Australian came in fifth place followed by South African and then Italian. Armenia came in eight place – the Kardashian family are famously of Armenian descent. As for England – English was ranked the ninth sexiest nationality in the world, with Canadian completing the top ten. It was not good news for all of the UK, however. Irish was voted the least sexy of the 50 countries. Scotland fared slightly better with Scottish coming in 38th place in the...
For the second year running, Hong Kong has topped the league, emerging as the most expensive city for overseas workers, according to Mercer’s 2019 Global Talent Trends report Other Asian cities are not far behind, with the continent claiming eight of the top 10 places in the table. Once again Tokyo comes second in the human resources consulting firm’s list, while Singapore has shifted up a rank to poach the third spot from Zurich. Seoul has also moved up a spot, now ranking fourth, with Zurich right behind. The only other non-Asian city in the top 10 is New York, which has risen to ninth place this year from 13th in 2018.

A surprise entry to the top 10 is Ashgabat in Turkmenistan, which saw a massive rise from 43 last year to seventh this year. The consulting company didn’t give a reason for Ashgabat’s surge, but the International Monetary Fund forecasts Turkmen consumer price inflation to hit 9% in 2019. At the...
The Bohemia Jazz Fest, which Downbeat magazine lists as one of the world’s most important cultural events, was founded in 2005 by acclaimed jazz guitarist Rudy Linka. Thanks to its sponsors and patrons, the Bohemia Jazz Fest has become a summer ritual with jazz fans from all over Central Europe gathering on the squares of historic Czech cities to see and hear the world’s greatest jazz performers. In addition to jazz, there will also be a thrilling blend of blues, funk and world music. The headliner in Prague will be Wolfgang Muthspiel Quintet, Stefano Bollani Napoli Trip, and Tuck & Patti. The guitarist Wolfgang Muthspiel, born in 1965, lives in Vienna and is considered to be one of the most influential guitarists of his generation.

During this time, he daringly took sensitive excursions into the world of pop music with Rebekka Bakken, while pursuing the electronic project Muthspiel/Muthspiel with his brother. Jazz pianist Stefano Bollani began playing piano as a child in order to accompany his singing but soon concentrated solely on the instrument, enrolling in a conservatory in Florence when he was 11. There, he studied both jazz and pop music, and after graduating...
