Scandinavian Brand ARKET to Open in Prague on November 27

Prague will welcome a new arrival on November 27, 2025, when Nordic lifestyle brand ARKET opens its first Czech store on Na Příkopě. The launch marks the company’s debut in the country and adds a new international name to one of the capital’s busiest retail streets. The flagship will occupy two levels inside a historic building at Na Příkopě 6. The roughly 416-square-meter space has been designed around ARKET’s recognizable aesthetic: a muted color palette, clean architectural lines, natural materials and solid oak features, all softened with abundant greenery. The store will offer the brand’s full selection of clothing for women, men and children, along with curated home items. The decision to expand to Prague reflects the brand’s growing focus on Central Europe. ARKET’s Brand Director, Pernilla Wohlfahrt, said the team is eager to meet local customers and share the company’s approach to what she described as “a more beautiful everyday life.” A central element of the store will be the ARKET Café, inspired by the principles of new Nordic cuisine.

Price Check: How Much Food and Drinks Cost at Náměstí Míru Christmas Market

The Christmas market on Náměstí Míru opened last week with a larger layout, new food stalls, and a wider drinks menu — but visitors quickly noticed that prices have climbed again. Vendors this season are offering more options than usual. Stallholders have introduced drinks such as cherry, blueberry, and currant wine alongside the classic svařák and mead. A new stand selling a Ukrainian cherry drink has also found its place among the crowd. The food section has expanded as well. Visitors can now find Vietnamese dishes, burgers, and freshly sliced prosciutto. Popular sweets that were missing in previous years — including chocolate-covered strawberries — have returned, even though the long-standing stall selling weighed candy boxes is no longer there. People can still buy smaller packaged sweets from several other vendors. Traditional items remain a draw: potato spirals, langoš, sausages, buns with šodó, trdelník, and carp fries, which are especially tied to Czech holiday traditions. Yet these staples also reflect the higher pricing trend seen across Prague’s winter markets. A cup deposit is 50 CZK. Langoš costs 90 CZK, potato spirals 80 CZK, churros with dip at 180 CZK.  Warm mead is priced at 100 CZK, Christmas punch at 80 CZK,...

Prague to Open Winter Shelters for Homeless People on December 1

As temperatures drop, Prague is preparing expanded winter shelters for its homeless population. Starting December 1, the city, in partnership with the Social Services Center (CSSP) and non-profit organizations, will increase its capacity to provide safe, warm spaces for those in need. The initiative includes field programs, hygiene centers, and hospital crisis beds, extending support through the harsh winter months until March 31. Like in previous years, day centers will extend their hours, and emergency facilities will operate continuously to ensure round-the-clock care. Prague will enhance its field programs, deploying teams to assist homeless individuals on the streets. These workers will provide medical assistance and transport individuals to appropriate facilities, especially during freezing conditions. The initiative also emphasizes stronger collaboration with social workers, police, and emergency services. Crisis Beds and Hygiene Centers Hospitals will again offer crisis beds to those in need. Last winter, Na Františku Hospital and the aftercare hospital in Vysočany hosted several such beds, which are expected to be available again this year. Hygiene centers will also operate, enabling individuals to wash, change clothes, and receive essential care. Support from Non-Profit Organizations Key non-profit organizations, including Naděje, the Salvation Army, and the Archdiocesan Charity, play a vital...

Temperatures Fall to –25°C in Šumava, Snow Hits the Beskydy

Temperatures across Czechia dropped sharply overnight on Sunday, with some of the coldest readings of the season recorded in the Šumava Mountains and parts of the Ore Mountains. Meteorologists from the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute (ČHMÚ) reported that the temperature in several areas in Šumava fell close to minus 25 degrees Celsius, making it the coldest area in the country on Sunday morning. While western Czechia experienced clear skies and intense freezing, the situation differed in the east. A thick layer of cloud cover left Moravia and Silesia with milder conditions, with morning temperatures most often ranging from minus one to minus six degrees Celsius. The frost was accompanied by ongoing snowfall in the northeast. ČHMÚ had issued a warning a day earlier for Moravia and Silesia, where fresh snow was expected through Sunday. Several districts received five to ten centimeters, while higher elevations of the Beskydy Mountains saw accumulations of up to 15 centimeters. According to meteorologists, the snowfall should ease later in the afternoon. Clear skies in Bohemia contributed to the deep freeze, with most areas dropping to minus six to minus eleven degrees Celsius, and the lowest readings reported in the west.

Poland Urges Citizens Not to Travel to Czechia Amid Hepatitis A Spike

Poland’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has urged citizens to avoid all travel to the Czech Republic amid the country’s worst hepatitis A epidemic in nearly half a century. The warning follows a surge in infections that has already reached more than four times last year’s total. According to the Czech State Institute of Public Health, 2,597 cases have been recorded since January, compared with just 636 in all of 2024. By Wednesday, iDNES reported that the number had climbed to 2,640, confirming that this year’s epidemic is the largest in 46 years. The virus is spreading across all age groups, though people aged 30 to 45 and children aged five to nine are most commonly affected. Prague remains the epicenter, with 1,108 confirmed cases, followed by the Central Bohemia region with 418. Hospitals have admitted most of those infected, but at least 322 patients could not be hospitalized due to a shortage of beds. Since the start of the year, 29 people have died, mostly men with pre-existing health problems such as chronic liver disease, alcoholism, or drug addiction. Doctors say infections in the capital have now moved well beyond traditional risk groups and are circulating widely in the general...

Czechs Lag Behind Slovakia in English Skills – Brno Outperforms Prague

A new survey of English skills in the Czech Republic reveals that progress has stalled for the fifth consecutive year. According to the EF English Proficiency Index 2025, published on Wednesday by Education First (EF), Czechs still struggle with speaking English, although Brno residents score higher than those in the capital. The Czech Republic rose one position to 23rd place globally, gaining 15 points to reach a total score of 582. Despite this, the country remains in the B2 proficiency category, considered “upper-intermediate,” while neighboring countries such as Slovakia and Germany now reach the C1 level, representing very high proficiency. Brno Leads the Way in the Czech Republic Regional differences are clear. Brno scored an average of 620 points, outperforming Prague, where residents averaged 576 points. Among Czechs, reading is the strongest skill, followed by listening and writing, while speaking remains the most challenging area. Age also plays a role: participants between 26 and 30 years old achieved the highest scores. Gender differences were minimal, although men performed slightly better, in line with global trends. Global Leaders and Laggards Internationally, the Netherlands ranks highest with 624 points, while Copenhagen leads among capital cities with 644 points. At the lower end...

Prague to Host Three-Day Colombian Caribbean Gastronomy Event

From November 24 to 27, 2025, Prague will host a unique celebration of Colombian culture, offering both culinary and artistic experiences in the heart of the city. The Colombian Embassy in the Czech Republic, together with the NH Collection Prague Carlo IV hotel, is hosting Colombian chef Jorge Méndez for a special culinary event at the hotel’s 1890 Restaurant & Bar. Méndez, known in Colombia for his focus on regional products and modern interpretations of Caribbean dishes, will design both a breakfast offering and an à la carte menu prepared exclusively for this event. His cooking is rooted in the flavours of the Colombian tropics, shaped by time spent in his hometown of Montería and by several years working in New Zealand, where he refined his style. In Colombia, Méndez leads two projects. Menderek, his fine-dining brand, presents reimagined dishes based on local ingredients from the Caribbean coast. He avoids reproducing traditional recipes as they are; instead, he builds new expressions of familiar flavours, working closely with producers and treating ingredients with precision.   His second project, Obrero Casa de Pan, founded with Isabella Perez, is a bakery in Montería that has become a reference point in the city. It...

Czech Parliament to Discuss Babiš’s Conflict of Interest on November 27

The Chamber of Deputies will hold an extraordinary session on Thursday, November 27, to discuss the conflict of interest involving ANO movement leader Andrej Babiš. The session was requested by the outgoing government coalition—KDU-ČSL, ODS, STAN, and TOP 09—as well as the opposition Pirate Party. The parliamentary opposition insists that Babiš should publicly clarify how he intends to address the conflict of interest stemming from his ownership of the Agrofert holding before he can take office. Czech President Petr Pavel has also called for transparency, stating that he will not appoint Babiš as prime minister without a clear explanation. Babiš has described the matter as sensitive and pledged to disclose his proposed actions immediately prior to his potential appointment. Tomio Okamura, chairman of the Chamber of Deputies and leader of the SPD movement, announced the session to journalists but made it clear that his party will not support the agenda. Okamura considers convening the meeting unnecessary, arguing that Babiš’s conflict of interest has already been extensively discussed. He also noted that as an ordinary member of parliament, Babiš is not currently bound by the same legal requirements, and will have 30 days to resolve the matter once appointed prime minister....
