This article has been written by Finaram.cz, a Czech platform specializing in mortgages, home financing, and real estate advice. For many people buying property in Prague, one question comes up early in the search process: How much extra are you paying to live near a metro station? The answer is often: quite a lot. According to Valuo’s Metro Index 2026, apartment prices around Prague metro stations vary dramatically depending on location. The most expensive stations exceed CZK 250,000 per m², while the most affordable remain close to CZK 110,000 per m². How the Data Was Calculated This comparison focuses on apartments in personal ownership with a size of 65–95 m², either renovated or newly built, located within one kilometer of a Prague metro station. The analyzed period covers October to January 2026. Using the same criteria across all metro locations makes it possible to compare neighborhoods on a more like-for-like basis and identify where buyers are paying the highest — and lowest — prices for metro access. Which Metro Line Is the Most Expensive? Valuo’s data shows significant differences between Prague’s metro lines. Average apartment prices along each route stand at: Line A: CZK 171,200/m² Line B: CZK 144,400/m² Line C:...
There are places in Prague where it is easy to forget you are still in the middle of a busy city. The garden of Restaurant Červený Jelen, right in the centre, is once again one of them. In the evening light, it offers a calm summer setting with music, the smell of food from the grill, well-made drinks, and an atmosphere that feels closer to a relaxed seaside bar than a capital city courtyard. Jelení léto continues throughout the summer until 2 September, offering an after-work escape for anyone who wants to slow down for a while, meet friends, or spend an easy summer evening in a different rhythm than the rest of the city. The events take place every Wednesday from 6 pm, with selected Sunday editions also included in the programme. The special Sunday evenings are scheduled for 19 July and 23 August, both starting at 4 pm. Each week has its own programme and mood. Music is part of the concept throughout the season, with DJs and occasional live sets in cooperation with Hitrádio City. Alongside the music, the programme is built around themed evenings focused on drinks. The line-up includes Bacardi (19 July), Peach Spritz evenings...
A new public park is being created in Prague’s Karlov, transforming an overlooked passageway into a green space for walking, relaxation and views of the city. The Karlovská předmostí park will officially open on July 23 and will become part of a planned pedestrian promenade connecting Karlov, Albertov and Větrov. The area between Horská Street and the New Town walls currently serves mainly as a route for people passing through, but the redevelopment aims to turn it into a place where visitors can stop and spend time. The project includes new greenery, walking paths, benches and seating areas built along the historic walls. A new public artwork, titled Zpřítomnění (Making Present), will also become part of the park after being selected through an architectural competition. The bronze sculpture, created by Jan Darks and David Velík, recalls the former children’s hospital in Karlov, which was demolished in 1971 to make way for the construction of the Nusle Bridge. The renovation has included repairs to the existing walls, replacement of staircases and cleaning nearby structures from graffiti. The park’s paths have received new surfaces made from hammered and chipped paving, while the original street furniture has been replaced with new benches and...
The Prague street theater festival Za dveřmi will celebrate its 18th anniversary from July 14 to 19, 2026. For six days, the Prague Exhibition Grounds in front of the Industrial Palace and Mariánské Square will come alive with a colorful mosaic of international and domestic open-air theater. Visitors can look forward to large-scale and intimate performances, established troupes and new discoveries, a family program full of fun, and a grand opening ceremony. The festival will culminate in a Gala Show. The program begins each day around 4 p.m., and admission is by donation — just come and let yourself be drawn into the world of theater.

The Czech government is considering extending compulsory preschool education from one year to two, meaning children could be required to attend kindergarten from the age of four. Education Minister Robert Plaga (ANO) said the proposal aims to provide earlier support for children who may need additional help before starting primary school. “Schools need more psychologists, special educators and other experts who can support both children and teachers. This support must begin as early as possible, already in kindergarten,” Plaga said in a video published on Facebook. He added that early intervention can improve children’s chances of success later in life. Currently, preschool education is compulsory in Czechia only for children who turn five before the start of the school year. The minister argues that earlier attendance could help children from disadvantaged backgrounds or those facing difficult situations at home. “A child’s more challenging behavior is not always caused by a lack of interest in education. In some cases, children are dealing with difficult circumstances and need support before their problems become more serious,” Plaga said. He added that helping children develop their abilities or overcome difficult periods represents a long-term investment in society. Lack of kindergarten places remains a challenge...
Prague’s Kotva department store will reopen in 2028 after an extensive redevelopment, with Italian luxury fashion, dining and hospitality brands among its first confirmed tenants. Owner Generali Real Estate announced that fashion house Dolce & Gabbana, hospitality group Cipriani, and Italian food retailer Eataly will all open locations inside the renovated complex. The company also said luxury menswear brand Kiton, based in Naples, is expected to join the project at a later stage. The redevelopment aims to transform Kotva into a high-end retail and public destination while preserving one of Prague’s best-known modernist buildings. According to Generali Real Estate, the renewed complex will combine international brands with spaces focused on design, gastronomy and contemporary urban life. Kotva has been closed for a major renovation that is expected to be completed in 2028. Once finished, the building is intended to serve not only as a shopping destination but also as a place for dining, leisure and public events. Kotva first opened in 1975 and was designed by architects Věra and Vladimír Machonin. Its distinctive hexagonal structure has made it one of the country’s most recognizable examples of Czechoslovak Brutalist architecture. The building received cultural monument status in 2019, recognizing its architectural...
Prague’s Asian dining scene has expanded quickly in recent years. Korean food in particular has moved from niche to mainstream, helped by the popularity of fermented dishes like kimchi and a growing appetite for meals that are more interactive than passive. Han.sik is located inside the Masaryčka building, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, is one of the newer openings pushing that shift further. The restaurant sits on the first floor, away from the busiest walkways. It is not immediately obvious on a first visit, and many people hesitate before finding the entrance. Once inside, the atmosphere changes completely. The space, designed by NEUHÄUSL HUNAL, is built around wood, open surfaces and restraint. There is an open kitchen and a sushi counter, but nothing feels decorative for its own sake. The focus remains on the tables and the food. Han.sik is, above all, a Korean barbecue restaurant. Each table has a built-in grill with integrated ventilation, removing the need for overhead chimneys. The room feels open and uncluttered, with attention kept firmly on the dining experience. The meal begins with the meat selection: Black Angus beef, Iberico pork and A5 wagyu sit among the highlights. Guests cook everything themselves at the...
The Czech Republic is set to experience its most impressive solar eclipse in decades on August 12, when the Moon will pass between the Earth and the Sun. Astronomers say it will be the country’s most significant partial solar eclipse until 2075, making it the standout astronomical event of 2026. While Czech observers will see most of the Sun obscured, those traveling to parts of Spain, Iceland and Greenland will witness the eclipse in its total phase. Researchers note that it will also be the closest total solar eclipse to the Czech Republic until 2081, making it a rare opportunity for both amateur and professional skywatchers. The path of totality will cross Greenland, Iceland, northern Russia, the Atlantic Ocean, Spain, and a small part of northwestern Portugal. Across much of Europe, including the Czech Republic, the event will appear as a partial eclipse. When to watch in the Czech Republic The eclipse will unfold during the evening as the Sun approaches the horizon. The phenomenon is expected to begin shortly after 7:19 p.m. CEST, reaching its maximum around 8:11 p.m. In southern and western Bohemia, the Moon will cover more than 86 percent of the Sun’s visible surface. Astronomers say...
For many people considering a move abroad, feeling welcome can be just as important as career opportunities or quality of life. While some countries are popular tourist destinations, not all make it easy for newcomers to settle, find work, build friendships and navigate everyday life. That’s the thinking behind a new study from international insurance provider William Russell, which has ranked the world’s most welcoming countries and cities for expats in 2026. Experts crunched six factors, including real expat experiences, migrant population size, foreign-born employment rates, local attitudes towards immigrants, and safety and visa openness, to work out where newcomers can happily build a life. The world’s most welcoming country? Iceland, scoring 8.94 out of 10. The land of fire and ice has the highest foreign-born employment rate in the study, with a whopping 84.2 percent of international residents in work – meaning expats aren’t just tolerated, they’re properly woven into the economy. Luxembourg took second place (more than half its residents were born abroad, the highest share in the world), while New Zealand rounded out the podium. The rest of the top 10 is mostly a parade of wealthy nations like Australia, Switzerland and Ireland, with one glorious outlier:...
Just a short walk from Prague’s Main Railway Station, a café is quietly redefining the idea of sitting down for coffee. The Healthy Longevity Café sits in a carefully designed space filled with greenery, natural light and minimalist furniture. Yet it is more than a café. It is directly connected to a preventive diagnostics centre on the first floor, creating a concept that combines hospitality with science-based prevention and wellness. Alongside coffee and food, the menu includes drinks blended with ingredients such as MCT oil, ghee, chaga and cinnamon, as well as nutritionally balanced lunches developed with longevity-focused principles in mind. Visitors can also head upstairs for preventive diagnostic assessments, lifestyle evaluations and personalised programmes based on detailed biological data. The project is part of the Longevitytech.Fund ecosystem, which invests in companies focused on extending healthy human lifespan. In Prague, the café and diagnostics centre serve as a practical testing ground for these ideas, making advanced preventive diagnostics more accessible in an everyday setting.

The Danish retail chain Normal will officially enter the Czech market next month, opening its first two stores in Prague and bringing its distinctive shopping concept to local customers. The retailer has confirmed that its Czech debut will begin on August 12 at Atrium Flora, followed by a second store opening on August 14 at Galerie Butovice. The company says Prague will serve as the starting point for its expansion into the country. Unlike traditional discount retailers, Normal does not rely on temporary sales, promotional campaigns, or loyalty schemes. Instead, the chain focuses on offering internationally recognized brands at stable, competitive prices throughout the year. “We are very happy to begin our expansion into the Czech market with the opening of two stores in Prague,” said CEO Jakob Frölich Maarbjerg. “We believe Czech customers will appreciate our concept, which combines well-known brands, consistently low prices, and a broad product selection.” One of the company’s defining features is the design of its stores. Rather than using conventional aisles, customers follow a maze-like route that leads them through the entire assortment before reaching the checkout. The layout is intended to encourage shoppers to discover products they might otherwise overlook. Normal’s range includes...
