The unsightly and neglected square at the Palmovka metro station is about to change. Prague 8 is preparing several projects to improve this part of Libeň district. One of the most significant changes will be the sidewalk pavement in the area of the Palmovka intersection, which is being arranged by Prague 8. A notable change will be the removal of elevated concrete surfaces, making the square more open and the whole area clearer. It will be possible to cross it in all directions. There will also be wheelchair accessible modifications. “The pavement of the area follows the transformation of Palmovka, which we started in the spring of this year.

The pavement surface will be a mosaic with the same pattern as the new part of Na Žertvách street.

However, it is my most favorite cultural gem of Czech Republic – Divadlo Jary Cimrmana (Theatre of Jara Cimrman) and I cannot keep this a secret from you.

If you ask any Czech about Jara Cimrman, you will hear a lot of stories and you would be assured that he is a national hero. If you ask any foreigner, you will probably realize that nobody outside of this country has ever heard of Jara Cimrman. Maybe this is because of the fact that he is only a fictional person (nevertheless, he was nominated to the post of Czech president). Seeing the play in this theater (written by Jara Cimrman) will illustrate the typically Czech sense of humor. So, if you are reading this during your visit to Prague, it is probably too late to get the tickets. But if you are (unlike me) planning your...
The last farewell with late Czech pop star Karel Gott will have the form of a funeral with state honours, not of a usual state funeral, Prime Minister Andrej Babis told journalists yesterday. Czech cabinet tasked ministries and other government offices to lower national flags to half-mast. Babis said he wanted to tell the public where and when Gott will be buried. Culture Minister Lubomir Zaoralek said the government was waiting for the position of Gott’s family. “I hope to announce to the public the date of Karel Gott’s funeral on [Thursday] afternoon and the location where people can pay their respects, as well as where the official farewell will take place. It will not be a state funeral, but one with state honours…I discussed this matter with his family yesterday and today a special team will settle the details.” Gott died late Tuesday at home in Prague after battling leukaemia for a period of time. He released some 300 albums since the 1960s and sold tens of millions of copies worldwide, was regarded as the most popular pop singer in the Czech Republic.
