Czech Central Bank Buys $1 Million in Bitcoin, and Other Cryptocurrencies

The Czech National Bank launches a $1M digital asset test portfolio including Bitcoin, marking its first step into blockchain-based finance. The portfolio is mostly made up of bitcoins, but also includes U.S. dollar-based stablecoins and a tokenised deposit, all bought through a regulated exchange it said, without giving specifics on the market used or exact assets. “The purpose of the portfolio is to gain practical experience with holding digital assets and to implement and test the necessary related processes,” the bank said. It will be held separately from the bank’s international reserves, and will not be actively increased. “In the test portfolio, the central bank will test the whole chain of processes associated with the purchase, holding and management of digital assets – from technical administration of keys and multi-level approval processes, through crisis scenarios and security mechanisms, to verifying anti-money-laundering compliance,” the bank said. Governor Ales Michl, who originally floated the idea of looking at bitcoin in January, said new ways of making payments and investments were emerging, and the bank wanted to be ready. “It is realistic to expect that, in the future, it will be easy to use the crown to buy tokenised Czech bonds and more...

How Daily Habits Can Help Reduce Anxiety and Restore Inner Calm

Anxiety has become an increasingly common challenge in modern life, affecting millions of people worldwide. The constant pressure from work, social obligations, and personal responsibilities can create a sense of tension that is difficult to escape. While professional help and therapy remain crucial for many, daily habits can play a significant role in managing anxiety and promoting a sense of calm.  Establishing routines that nurture the body and mind helps create stability, reduces stress, and strengthens resilience. Understanding how small, intentional actions can shape emotional well-being provides a practical approach to reclaiming inner peace. The habits we adopt today can become powerful tools for coping with anxiety, making everyday life feel more manageable and balanced. Start the Day With Mindful Breathing Beginning the morning with a few minutes of mindful breathing can set a positive tone for the entire day. Spending even five to ten minutes focusing on inhaling and exhaling slowly helps to anchor attention in the present moment, moving the mind away from worries about the past or future. This simple practice encourages relaxation of the body and mind, lowering heart rate and reducing stress hormones.  Mindful breathing can be done while sitting quietly, lying down, or even...

LOT Polish Airlines Reportedly Eyes Takeover of Smartwings

Poland’s national carrier, LOT Polish Airlines, is reportedly preparing a bid to acquire Smartwings, the Czech Republic’s largest airline, according to Hospodářské noviny. The publication said LOT, Eurowings (Germany), and SunExpress (Turkey) are the final contenders for a potential takeover. Smartwings’ billionaire owner, Jiří Šimán, is exploring a partial or full sale amid the ongoing recovery of the aviation sector. Šimán, 75, previously bought out a 49.9% stake held by Chinese investors, a stake that had long complicated efforts to sell the airline. While he may look for a strategic partner, local analysts believe he does not intend to leave the aviation industry entirely. “Šimán has always made it clear that aviation is a long-term investment for him and that he wishes to remain involved,” the paper wrote. Smartwings, known for both scheduled and charter flights, is the Czech Republic’s leading airline and a key player in the Central European leisure travel market. For LOT, the acquisition would mark its first major expansion since its aborted 2020 bid for Germany’s Condor Airlines, which was scrapped due to the onset of the COVID-19 crisis. LOT’s main shareholder is Poland’s State Treasury, with a minority stake held by Polska Grupa Lotnicza. If...

Prague Traffic Hits Historic Highs as Roads Struggle to Keep Up

Prague’s roads are struggling under pressure like never before. Long traffic jams, frequent construction, and uncoordinated roadwork are pushing the city toward its transport limits, frustrating drivers and residents alike. Despite assurances from Deputy Mayor for Transport Zdeněk Hřib that the traffic situation has not worsened and that drivers avoiding public transport are largely to blame, analysts point to systemic issues in the city’s planning. Pavel Ryska of J&T Banka argues that the responsibility lies with politicians to manage the situation, rather than “wage an ideological battle with the people of Prague.” Recent data show that time spent in traffic has surged, with increases of tens of percent compared to previous years. “The economic costs are enormous,” says Ryska. “Lost work hours, delays to schools, hospitals, and meetings, stressed drivers, rising emissions, and slower emergency services—all are measurable impacts of gridlock.” He notes that these costs far outweigh any potential benefits of street narrowing, uncoordinated repairs, or underused bike lanes. The city’s leadership has faced mounting criticism, especially toward Hřib, whose detractors cite poor coordination, inadequate planning, and the city’s inability to handle increasing traffic loads. Hřib counters that drivers themselves are responsible for worsening congestion, opting for personal vehicles...

Czechia to Face Sharp Temperature Drop This Weekend

After several unusually mild November days, Czechia is about to experience a rapid shift in weather, with temperatures falling sharply over the weekend following the passage of a cold front. According to the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute (CHMI), a weakening occlusion front from the west is currently shaping the country’s weather. Satellite images show a red cloud band indicating this front, while low inversion clouds and persistent fog dominate lowland regions. Skies are expected to gradually clear from the southwest during Tuesday afternoon and evening. The warm air will peak on Friday, when temperatures could reach up to 16°C, and around 18°C in the lee of the Šumava Mountains. After the weekend, a cold front will bring a noticeable cooling. Friday will mark the culmination of the warm spell. Although fog and cloudiness will still appear in some places, many regions — especially in southern Bohemia — will clear up. Temperatures will range from 12 to 16°C, possibly up to 18°C near Šumava, making it one of the warmest days of the month. The change will come suddenly on Saturday, as a cold front crosses the country. Cloud cover will increase, and rain will spread to several regions, with snowfall expected...

OneRepublic Announces Open-Air Concert in Prague Next Summer

American pop-rock band OneRepublic will return to Prague next summer as part of their “From Europe With Love Tour 2026.” The concert is scheduled for June 27, 2026, at Letňany Airport, marking the band’s first major open-air performance in Czechia. The announcement follows their sold-out 2025 show at the O2 Arena, where thousands of fans filled the venue for a night of global hits. This time, Ryan Tedder and his bandmates are promising an even larger-scale concert. Formed in Colorado Springs in the early 2000s, OneRepublic quickly became one of the most successful pop-rock bands in the world. The group—Ryan Tedder, Zach Filkins, Drew Brown, Brent Kutzle, Brian Willett, and Eddie Fisher—rose to fame with their 2007 debut album Dreaming Out Loud. Its breakout single, “Apologize,” sold more than 20 million copies and earned the band a Grammy nomination. Their 2009 follow-up, Waking Up, brought further chart success with “All the Right Moves,” “Secrets,” and “Good Life.” The band reached new heights with Native (2013), featuring the global anthem “Counting Stars,” which surpassed 40 million copies sold worldwide. Over nearly two decades, OneRepublic has amassed billions of streams across platforms and continued to evolve musically. Their 2021 album Human included...

Finally Open: Prague City Museum Returns After Five-Year Renovation

After more than five years of restoration work costing nearly CZK 300 million, the Prague City Museum on Florenc will reopen to the public on Saturday, December 6. The long-awaited return will feature a weekend program filled with family activities—and admission will be free for all visitors throughout the opening weekend. The museum’s centerpiece remains the Langweil Model of Prague, an extraordinary 19th-century miniature cityscape showing over 2,000 buildings across the Old Town, Lesser Town, and Hradčany. For the first time, the model will be displayed in twelve separate cases, allowing visitors to see even the smallest architectural details up close. The exhibition now blends historical artifacts with modern technology. Large-scale projections and interactive visuals will immerse guests in the city’s past, bringing Prague’s transformation to life on walls 22 meters long and five meters high. Museum officials say the experience rivals those in major museums abroad, combining history with digital storytelling. Visitors of all ages can also enjoy a variety of creative workshops and performances. Children will have the chance to make bird feeders and traditional Christmas decorations from the 19th century, while adults can attend puppet and music performances, author readings, and guided tours. The renovated museum is...

Food Prices Push Czech Inflation Higher, Energy Relief Expected in 2026

Czech inflation rose to 2.5% year-on-year in October, slightly above expectations, mainly due to higher food prices. Processed foods jumped by 4%, and overall consumer prices increased by 0.5% month-on-month. Service prices grew by 4.6%, while goods rose by 1.3%, indicating that core inflation likely reached 2.9%. Economists expect inflation to ease next year as energy prices decline. Distributors plan to cut electricity and gas prices by around 10% in January 2026, which could lower headline inflation to about 2.2%—and possibly below 2% if the government reduces regulated energy costs as planned. Still, core inflation is likely to stay above the Czech National Bank’s target, supported by household spending and expected wage hikes in the public sector ranging from 5% to 13%. The economy is projected to grow 2.6% this year and 2.7% in 2026, driven by rising investment and strong household consumption. Czech companies are increasingly investing abroad, especially in Germany, taking advantage of opportunities in its slowing economy. Interest rates are expected to remain stable next year, as steady growth and resilient consumer demand offset the effects of lower energy costs. If the EU delays the new emissions trading system (ETS2) by a year, analysts say 2027 could...

EURO TEA EXPO: Global Tea Fair Returns to Prague in November

The EURO TEA EXPO, an international fair celebrating tea and its culture, will take place on November 15–16, 2025, at Fortuna Arena in Prague’s Vršovice district.

Organized by experts in tea studies and supported by global tea associations, the fair will bring together tea traders, sommeliers, academics, and enthusiasts to explore the art and science of tea.
