Music And Art Courtyard Festival at the Mozart Hotel

The historic boutique hotel The Mozart Prague has always been a place where art and music were born. Whether it was in the past, when the hotel was still the Pachta Palace and the culture of Mozart’s time was supported by the Pachta family, to the present, when the Ott family, the current owners of the hotel and great lovers of art in every form, continue this centuries-old tradition. The magnificent 400-year-old courtyards inside the hotel offer magical seating areas where the general public, not only hotel guests, can enjoy delicious food, wine or just a cup of coffee, but also again art and music. And all this in the best location in the city centre, just a few minutes walk from the Charles Bridge. Throughout the summer, the courtyards will host a cultural programme full of concerts, from classical music to jazz or swing. You name it. The main star of the Music And Art Courtyard Festival will be the well known contemporary artist David Strauss, who will surprise with very unexpected artistic achievements in different locations of the hotel. His first modern fresco has already been painted on one of the walls of the first courtyard and another will soon be added to the walls of the hotel...

Koněvova Street in Prague to be Renamed Hartigova Street

On Monday, city councillors approved the renaming, and starting from October, the street will be known as Hartigova Street, in honor of the first mayor of Žižkov.  The proposal to rename Koněvova Street was endorsed by Prague 3 councillors last year and received a recommendation from the municipality’s local history commission. The renaming of the street will necessitate document updates for local residents, and businesses will also incur additional costs. The complexity of administrative procedures was one of the primary reasons why the majority of locals, who expressed their opinions in a poll last year, rejected the renaming. However, the replacement of identification cards will be offered free of charge, and individuals will have a six-month period to complete the process. Approximately 5,000 people will be affected by this change. “We are aware that the process of exchanging identification cards may be seen as a complication or an additional task by the residents of the current Koněvova Street. Therefore, the City Hall has made every effort to ensure that this task is as simple as possible, without any waiting times or fees. Additionally, we will employ all available means to provide timely and comprehensive information on all essential aspects,” stated...

Prague Plans to Charge Non-Residential Vehicles 200 CZK to Transit the City Center

Prague 1 and the City Hall have collaborated on a plan to reduce traffic congestion in the city center. Their latest proposal involves the implementation of measures to regulate traffic passing through specific streets near the Vltava River, including the introduction of a daily fee of 200 CZK for non-residents and transit traffic. The initial phase of the plan focuses on implementing a toll system for entering certain streets around the Vltava River. According to Vojtěch Ryvola, Prague 1 councilor for transportation (ANO), they have chosen to begin with a small area: Divadelní and Smetanovo nábřeží on the right side of the river, and Karmelitská Street on the left side. Ryvola highlights the importance of thoroughly testing the entire system before expanding the toll area, and mentions that there are several exemption requests to be considered. Starting with a limited approach allows them to address any concerns and resolve any issues before proceeding. Residents with parking permits, permit holders, the integrated emergency system, visitors, and patients of the Hospital under Petřín will be granted exemptions. The fee for others is set at 200 CZK for a 24-hour period, while drivers using the roads along the Vltava River will be required...

The New Immersive View of Google Maps Arrives in Prague: This is How it Works

Thanks to Google’s new maps feature, you can take a closer look at Prague Castle. Immersive View brings digital models of cities, including virtual visits to landmarks and other iconic places. Developers at Google have billions of Street View and aerial images with which to compose their maps. This year, they introduced a new feature that’s largely thanks to advances in artificial intelligence. They have been able to create a realistic digital model of the world from available data. They have now expanded it to include four new cities as well as 500 landmarks around the world. With your phone, you can see what the Acropolis in Athens, the Colosseum in Rome, and Prague Castle look like from every angle. Maybe you’re planning a trip to Paris and want to go to the Sacré-Cœur Basilica. With Google Maps, you can both virtually “hover” over the building and see where the main entrance is. Using the timeline, you can then explore how the site changes at different times of the day and what the weather forecast looks like. In addition, if the necessary data is available, you can also take a look inside the surrounding restaurants and cafés – and make...

Stránov Château

Undiscovered Czech Gems: Stránov Château

The Neo-Renaissance Stránov Château is situated in the village of Jizerní Vtelno near Mladá Boleslav in Central Bohemia. However, the interiors and exteriors are currently undergoing partial reconstructions. You can take a guided tour through the château interiors or climb up the Gothic castle tower with a beautiful view of the River Jizera valley. The original castle was built between 1463 and 1468 by Jaroš of Svojovice. The period is represented by the well-preserved distinctive stone tower. At that time, the castle was the centre of a relatively large property that was in the 2nd half of the 16th century in the possession of the Berka family from Dubá. It was at that time that the original castle was completely changed – rebuilt in the Renaissance style: the renovation was completed at the beginning of the 17th century. The last stage of the renovation, in the late Renaissance style, was carried out on the order of Vilém Slavata of Chlum. The look of the chateau was then maintained until the mid 18th century, when (in 1746) the family of Příchovský from Příchovice took the assets into their possession. In 1767, Jan Příchovský had a new church built on the premises...

Prague City to Negotiate the Sale of Czech Post Building on Jindřišská

The City of Prague plans to enter into negotiations with Interior Minister Vít Rakušan regarding Czech Post’s proposed sale of buildings on Jindřišská and Moravská streets. Despite multiple rounds of negotiations, Czech Post remains committed to selling these buildings through an e-auction, a decision that city authorities believe is not in the best interest of Prague or the Czech Republic. “The news that Czech Post plans to offer the Jindřišská building through an e-auction, instead of a direct sale to the capital as previously discussed, came as a surprise,” stated Prague Mayor Bohuslav Svoboda. “We are analyzing the situation and preparing for all possible options. However, we strongly prefer negotiations for a direct sale, which would be clearly in the public interest of the city and the country. That’s why I have requested a joint meeting with Minister of the Interior Vít Rakušan and Czech Post management to find a win-win solution as soon as possible.” Mayor Svoboda expects the meeting to take place no later than the next Prague council meeting, which is scheduled for next Thursday. According to the city, selling the buildings through an e-auction does not align with the public interest, as acquiring the properties would...
