From Old Town to Main Station: Tourist Charged €150 for Short Taxi Ride

A tourist has reported an alleged taxi scam in Prague, claiming that a journey from Old Town Square to Prague Main Railway Station ended with an unexpectedly high fare and a disputed payment. The incident reportedly took place on July 25 at around 16:15. According to the complaint, the driver charged CZK 980 for the ride, an amount the passenger said was far higher than the expected price for such a short distance. The tourist claims that the driver refused to accept payment by card and requested cash instead. “I paid him 100 Euros for the fare. He just took the note, swapped it and lied to me saying what I gave was 100 in Czech currency, and demanded me to pay the remaining 50 euro taxi fare,” the tourist said in his complaint. “So I paid the initial 100 euro that was swapped, plus the 50 euro taxi fare.” According to the passenger, the total amount paid for the ride was therefore €150 (over 3,600 CZK). He said he was rushing to catch a train to Bratislava and was unable to resolve the dispute at the scene. The tourist also claimed that no receipt was provided after the payment....

On this Day, in 1419: the First Defenestration of Prague

Six hundred years ago, an angry crowd stormed Prague’s New Town Hall and threw several royal councillors from its windows. The attack, known as the First Defenestration of Prague, took place on July 30, 1419, and is widely regarded as the event that ignited the Hussite Wars—a conflict that transformed medieval Bohemia and left a lasting mark on Czech history. Yet the violence that unfolded that summer day had been years in the making. Its roots lay in the teachings of Jan Hus, a Czech theologian, university lecturer, and religious reformer who became one of the most influential figures of the late Middle Ages. Hus openly criticized corruption within the Catholic Church, particularly the sale of indulgences and the growing power of the church hierarchy. Rather than viewing the Church as an institution led by the pope and bishops, he argued that the true Church was the community of faithful believers. Summoned before the Council of Constance in 1415 to defend his beliefs, Hus was arrested despite receiving a promise of safe conduct. After refusing to renounce his teachings, he was convicted of heresy and burned at the stake. His execution outraged many across Bohemia. While members of the nobility...

Inside IAM Prague: How a Travelling Exhibition Laid the Foundation for One of the City’s Top-Rated Museums

Just off Old Town Square, past the cafes and the crowds waiting for the Astronomical Clock, sits a museum that started almost by accident. Today, IAM Prague has welcomed well over 1 million visitors from around the world and has held TripAdvisor’s Travelers’ Choice Award for five straight years. From Shopping Malls to Old Town Square The museum wasn’t originally supposed to be a… museum. Co-founder Jakub Bechyně and his partner Patrik Proško had been running a traveling illusion exhibit that moved between shopping malls, renting space for a month at a time before packing up and relocating. It worked, but it wasn’t permanent. Then, in 2017, the owner of a building on Old Town Square approached them with an idea: turn part of it into a museum. The catch was the timeline. They wanted it open in two months. Rather than build something from scratch, the team pulled from what they already had on the shelf, opening with one floor and sixteen exhibits in 2018. The collection has grown to more than 60 pieces since.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Illusion Art Museum Prague (@iamprague) The museum moved to its current location in...

Nearly One in Five Prague Farmers’ Market Vendors Fail Veterinary Inspections

Nearly one in five vendors inspected at Prague’s farmers’ markets during the first half of 2026 were found to have breached food safety or labeling regulations, according to the State Veterinary Administration (SVS). Between January and June, veterinary inspectors checked 53 vendors across Prague and identified violations in 10 cases, representing almost 19 percent of all inspections. Nationwide, inspectors carried out 165 inspections, with irregularities detected in 27 cases, or roughly 16 percent. Officials said the most common problems in Prague involved improper storage temperatures for food of animal origin, incorrect or incomplete product labeling, and inadequate protection of food from contamination during sale. Inspectors also highlighted several cases they considered particularly serious. In one instance, a vendor was found producing meat products without the legally required authorization while packaging them with the identification mark of a production facility that no longer exists. Authorities said such practices can mislead consumers about where products originate. The SVS warned that food safety risks increase during the summer months, especially at outdoor markets where high temperatures make it more difficult to maintain proper cooling conditions. Across the Czech Republic, labeling violations were the most frequently recorded offense this year, accounting for 26 cases....

Future of Prague’s Výtoň Bridge Could Be Decided by the End of This Year

The Railway Administration (Správa železnic) is expected to decide on the future design of Prague’s Výtoň Railway Bridge by the end of this year. If the final plan is approved, construction could begin in 2028. The long-delayed project has become the centre of a dispute between transport authorities and heritage experts. While railway officials argue that a new three-track structure is necessary to meet future transport demands, conservationists continue to push for the preservation of the existing historic bridge. The Railway Administration has warned that the current condition of the bridge requires a final decision soon. Dispute over historic structure The main proposal currently under consideration is the construction of a new three-track railway bridge. Správa železnic selected a project team last year, but the plan remains controversial due to opposition from heritage authorities and groups seeking to preserve the original structure. The debate has also attracted international attention. UNESCO representatives are preparing a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA), which will examine how the planned changes could affect Prague’s cultural heritage. The Transport Association supports the construction of a new bridge, arguing that rebuilding the existing structure would be more expensive and would not provide enough additional capacity. Construction could start...

Prague Compared to 11 European Cities: Housing, Jobs, Transport,

A new report from the Prague Institute of Planning and Development (IPR) compares life in Prague with 11 other European cities, following a typical resident’s day—from housing and commuting to work, education, and leisure. Based on verified data collected directly from partner cities, the study highlights both Prague’s strengths and its biggest challenges. Prague Has Some of Europe’s Least Affordable Housing The report found that Prague has the least affordable owner-occupied housing among the cities compared. Buying an apartment requires more than 13 years of gross salary, placing Prague alongside cities such as Barcelona, Munich, and Amsterdam. Unlike many Western European cities, Prague also lacks relatively affordable rental housing. Renting a 60-square-meter apartment costs around 40% of the average salary in Prague. By comparison, the same apartment would consume about 28% of average income in Munich and just 14% in Vienna. Strong Job Market, But Lower Incomes Prague continues to have one of the lowest unemployment rates in Europe, making it relatively easy to find work. However, real incomes remain below those of most Western European capitals. Workers in Munich earn roughly 50% more than those in Prague, while wages in cities such as Copenhagen have grown steadily over the...

Prague’s growing pizza scene gained international attention after four local restaurants were recognized in the 50 Top Pizza Europa 2026 guide.

Spicy, Not Spicy: How This Chef Is Bringing Authentic Chinese Street Food to Prague

At Manifesto Market, the aroma of Sichuan peppercorns and chili oil stands out among the usual mix of street food and drinks. It comes from Lá Bù Lá Street, the more casual sibling of the restaurant Lá Bù Lá, both founded by Wen, a Chongqing native who wants to introduce Prague diners to the real flavors of her hometown. Wen arrived in Prague in 2019 after being accepted into a Master’s program at the Prague University of Economics and Business. But studying was only part of the reason she moved. At 22, she wanted a new beginning and the chance to discover a different version of herself. “There was something about Prague that attracted me immediately,” she says. “The architecture, the pace of life, the atmosphere of the city — it all felt very charming. I wanted to see what kind of person I could become here.” That decision eventually led her into the restaurant business, with four concepts launched over the years — two that closed and two that continue today.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Lá Bù Lá Street (@labula_street) Beyond the Stereotypes For Wen, opening a Chinese restaurant in Prague was...

Prague and Stockholm Launch Cross-Border Public Art Project

Visitors in Prague and Stockholm will soon be able to communicate across borders through a pair of interactive public art installations designed to exchange anonymous messages between the two cities. The linked installations, created by the Czech initiative Praho! project and its Swedish partner Stockholm! project, will open in Stockholm on August 20 and in Prague on August 31. The installations are designed as private spaces intended for one visitor at a time. After entering, participants answer a series of questions before listening to an authentic audio recording left by someone in the other city. They are then invited to record their own message, creating an ongoing exchange between residents and visitors in Prague and Stockholm. According to the project team, the concept explores what happens when anonymous thoughts become personal through the human voice. “The installation creates a space where you first listen to someone else—and only then can you speak,” the organizers said. “We want to explore how connecting two different cities through shared experiences can foster understanding.” The initiative is part of Art & Design Without Borders, an international collaboration supported by the Erasmus+ programme. The project brings together organizations from the Czech Republic and Sweden to...
