Prague Morning readers get 10% off tickets here. Prague’s underground art collective Veil’ Amor is back with another of its immersive all-night events — this time diving into the world of Jungian psychology with “Angels & Demons – A Jungian Journey.” If you’ve been to any of their previous nights like Sin City, ADA, or ALT Odyssey w/ Bloody Mary, you already know what to expect: a mix of music, performance, and philosophy, all colliding in one long, chaotic, and deeply visual night. This new edition promises to take things even further. Spread across two spaces — Bike Jesus and Revolution — the night is built around three themes: The Shadows, Greed, and Identity. Expect dark techno, live art, ritual-like performances, and moments that blur the line between audience and performer. At Bike Jesus, DJs and artists will turn the club into a dreamlike stage. The lineup includes Shurigen, SJ Yellow, Diva and Kawa, with Tigerhead — the Czech-born, Berlin-based techno artist — headlining with a raw vinyl set from 2:00 to 4:00. Schedule – Bike Jesus (Main Venue) 22:00 – 00:00 Shurigen / Demonika 00:00 – 02:00 SJ Yellow 02:00 – 04:00 Tigerhead (Vinyl Set) 04:00 – 06:00 Kawa...
Prague’s Náplavka will once again transform into a lively celebration of young wine, traditional food, and music as the city marks St. Martin’s Day. The annual St. Martin’s Day and Roast Goose Festival, now in its 14th year, will take place on Saturday, November 8, 2025, starting symbolically at 11:11 a.m. The event attracts around 6,000 visitors each year, making it one of the city’s most popular autumn food and wine festivals. Winemakers from across Bohemia and Moravia will present their new vintages, offering more than 18 varieties of young Czech wine for tasting. Alongside the wines, guests can look forward to traditional roast goose, goose pâtés, and even goose burgers, complemented by farm cheeses, sausages, and sweet pastries. All food and drink will be served in a festive riverside atmosphere, with live performances ranging from folk and jazz to country and dance music throughout the day. Wine is served exclusively in festival glasses, which can be purchased or brought from previous years. For those who want to bring the celebration home, fresh goose meat will be sold at the on-site farmers’ market until 2:00 p.m., priced at around 270 CZK per kilogram. The admission is free, and the event...
Starting Monday, November 3, Prague’s commuters will see the city’s newest generation of trams — the Škoda ForCity Plus 52T — entering regular service. The Prague Public Transport Company (DPP) will deploy the first seven units on line 12, running between Lehovec and Sídliště Barrandov, marking a key step in the city’s long-term modernization of its tram network. According to Daniel Šabík, DPP’s head of communications, all 20 trams from the first delivery series are expected to be operational by the end of the year. The acquisition, co-financed through the European Union’s National Recovery Plan, represents an investment of 1.19 billion CZK (excluding VAT). “Production and deliveries of the first 20 Škoda 52T trams are proceeding on schedule. Following test operations in early September and official approval in mid-October, the first seven vehicles received their certificates of competency,” Šabík confirmed. Before being cleared for passenger service, the trams successfully completed 20,000 kilometers of test operation in Prague’s traffic. Having passed all technical requirements, DPP has formally accepted them from Škoda and cleared them for regular use. More new trams will follow in the coming weeks, gradually expanding their presence on additional routes operated from the Hloubětín depot. The long-term agreement...

The Prague Transport Company (DPP) has finished building the Olbrachtova station, marking the first completed stop on the new Metro Line D. While Olbrachtova is now structurally complete, work continues on the nearby Pankrác D station, which is expected to be finished by the second quarter of 2026, according to DPP’s press release. Construction on Olbrachtova officially began on February 17, 2023, and was completed on schedule. The new station includes both escalator tunnels that will eventually lead to the northern and southern vestibules. The first section of Line D now has all road and technical tunnels excavated, including the connection between Lines C and D, a key part of Prague’s expanding underground network. Progress on the Pankrác D station is nearing completion, with less than 16 percent of the work remaining. According to DPP, finishing the southern vestibule’s load-bearing structure will make it possible to reopen part of Na Strži Street—between Antala Staška and Olbrachtova—by mid-December. Traffic will resume with one lane in each direction. “This will reduce the construction site around the Na Strži and Antala Staška intersection, ease congestion in Prague 4, and improve overall traffic flow,” the company said.

A new airline brand, Air 001, is preparing to enter the Czech market with charter flights to popular seaside destinations. The carrier was established this year by Polish travel agency Itaka in partnership with Bulgarian airline Electra Airways, according to the Polish daily Rzeczpospolita. Air 001 is expected to collaborate closely with Čedok, the Czech subsidiary of Itaka, which will likely handle its charter operations. Čedok, one of the country’s oldest travel agencies, has so far worked with the carrier Smartwings, but the new partnership is expected to strengthen its position in the holiday flight segment. Čedok confirmed that the new airline brand will be officially introduced on November 5, with flights scheduled to begin in the summer season of 2026. “The new carrier will expand the range of flights from regional airports and improve access to popular holiday destinations,” the company said in a statement. The Air 001 fleet currently includes three Airbus A320s and one larger Airbus A321, already operating charter flights from Poland and Slovakia. During its first operational season, the airline reportedly completed around 1,400 flights, transporting approximately 240,000 passengers—nearly one-fifth of Itaka’s total customer base, Rzeczpospolita reported. Air 001’s model allows Itaka to run its...
A new political alliance in Czechia — made up of ANO, SPD, and Motorists — has announced its proposed leadership for the Chamber of Deputies, with Tomio Okamura expected to be nominated as Speaker. The announcement came during a press conference led by Alena Schillerová, vice-chair of the ANO movement, who outlined the coalition’s key nominations. According to CNN Prima News, Patrik Nacher (ANO) is set to be put forward for the position of First Deputy Speaker, while Jiří Barták will represent Motoristé sobě among the Chamber’s leadership candidates. Meanwhile, the future opposition has also named its nominees. The Spolu coalition — consisting of ODS, KDU-ČSL, and TOP 09 — plans to nominate Jan Skopeček (ODS), who currently serves as the First Deputy Speaker. The STAN movement, whose previous representative Věra Kovářová is stepping down, is expected to put forward its chairman Vít Rakušan. Earlier this week, on Monday, October 27, President Petr Pavel entrusted Andrej Babiš with forming a new government. Babiš has expressed a goal of completing the cabinet lineup by mid-December, according to Seznam Zprávy. However, the final composition remains uncertain, particularly regarding the potential appointment of Petr Macinka to head the Ministry of the Environment, a...
Households in the Czech Republic now pay among the highest electricity rates in Europe, according to data from Eurostat covering 39 countries. Domestic users in Czechia paid approximately €317.9 per MWh (around 7,736 CZK including VAT) for the first half of 2025—placing the country sixth-highest in the ranking. The figure covers all components of consumer electricity bills, including commercial charges, regulated fees, taxes and levies. Czech authorities gather these figures through the Czech Statistical Office, which collects data from major energy suppliers covering over 90 % of small-consumer household customers. Only Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Italy and Ireland recorded higher nominal household electricity prices in that period. At the same time, Czechia’s average exceeds the EU-wide average of about €287.2 per MWh (≈ 6,982 CZK) and approaches the euro-area average of roughly €300.6 per MWh (≈ 7,308 CZK). That said, the comparison covers households of varying sizes and usage types. In Czechia, consumers who rely on electricity for heating and hot water pay a lower rate per MWh than those without those uses. If those households were excluded, Czechia’s ranking would drift down to 13th. In contrast, Austria and Germany make no such distinction in pricing between smaller and larger consumption...
Work on extending the tram line from Vinohradská Street to the upper part of Wenceslas Square has entered a new phase. Near the National Museum, one of the main road lanes now runs directly over the future tram tracks, marking visible progress in one of Prague’s largest transport reconstruction projects. According to Prague Integrated Transport (PID), the reconfiguration is part of the major redesign of the junction between Legerova, Vinohradská, and Wenceslas Square. Since July, car traffic has been diverted to lanes previously reserved for trams. The tram connection between I. P. Pavlova and Muzeum stations remains suspended and will not resume until construction is completed in 2027. The demolition of the disused underpass and bridge beneath Legerova Street is one of the central elements of the project. Work began in June with the removal of a section of the old tram line, which now serves temporary car traffic. “Parts of the former underground spaces—originally designed as garages for the Federal Assembly in the 1980s—will be demolished and partially filled with drainage concrete,” explained Josef Richtr, deputy director of the Technical Administration of Roads (TSK). “Only a small section of the underpass will remain, later repurposed for park maintenance facilities.”...
Over the next decade, Prague will transform into one of Europe’s most modern capitals. A series of large-scale infrastructure projects — from new metro lines and bridges to redesigned train stations and neighborhoods — will reshape how people live and move across the city. 1. Smíchov Station: Prague’s New Transport Gateway The Smíchov Station reconstruction will create a modern, barrier-free transport hub with new platforms, underpasses, and a large bus terminal above the tracks. A new footbridge and promenade will directly link the station to surrounding streets, improving access between Smíchov and Radlice. Once completed, this area will become one of Prague’s most important transport junctions, integrating rail, metro, trams, buses, and pedestrian routes. 2. Smíchov City: A Modern Urban District Beside the station, the Smíchov City development is taking shape on the site of former rail yards. The project — already under construction — will include housing, offices, parks, and schools, turning the area into a fully functional urban neighborhood by 2032. The centerpiece will be Česká spořitelna’s new campus, four interconnected buildings spanning 75,000 square meters. A boulevard linking Smíchov Station with Na Knížecí will be named after Madeleine Albright, who was born in Smíchov. Other streets will...
Czech consumers are once again paying more for everyday groceries. The latest data from the Czech Statistical Office show that the prices of eggs and dairy products have climbed sharply in recent weeks, continuing a trend that began earlier this year. A carton of ten eggs now costs 67.19 CZK, which is 3.47 CZK more than in September and nearly 18 CZK higher than a year ago. The price has been steadily increasing since August and is now close to its highest point since May, when eggs peaked at 68.32 CZK. Industry experts warn that the situation could worsen in the coming years. Starting in 2027, cage farming will be banned in the Czech Republic — a change that could push prices up even further and reduce local egg production. The Czech-Moravian Poultry Association has cautioned that not all farmers will be able to switch to cage-free systems, potentially leading to greater reliance on imports. Producers say the rising prices are the result of multiple pressures — from higher energy and labor costs to the impact of avian flu outbreaks, expensive breeding material, and costly packaging. Dairy prices are also increasing. A liter of semi-skimmed milk now averages 27.80 CZK,...
What would the Czech capital look like if war reached its streets? That is the question posed by a new campaign from the organization Paměť národa, which seeks to remind Czechs that the war in Ukraine is still ongoing — and that peace cannot be taken for granted. Last week, the non-profit launched a series of visuals in Prague’s busiest public spaces, created in collaboration with the creative agency OAK. The campaign overlays everyday city scenes with realistic depictions of wartime destruction — cracked buildings, burned cars, and debris scattered across familiar streets. “In these familiar places, people encounter images of Prague as if it were struck by war,” the organization explained in its statement. The goal, it added, is to remind people that the conflict in Ukraine is not a distant story but a reality just beyond the Czech border. Tereza Svěráková, co-founder of the OAK agency, said she hopes the project will reignite public empathy and long-term engagement. “I’ve always been proud of how Czechs came together to help when the war began. But that solidarity must continue — supporting Ukraine also means strengthening our own security,” she said. Paměť národa emphasized that the campaign is not only...
