Prague is set to receive 51 new trams next year as the city expands its tram network and begins replacing some of its oldest vehicles. The Prague Public Transport Company (DPP) has ordered another 25 Škoda 52T trams under an existing framework agreement with Škoda Transportation. Each tram costs CZK 82.5 million, including CZK 40 million in European subsidies. Prague has now committed to buying 71 of the new vehicles in three separate orders. The first 20 Škoda 52T trams entered regular service in Prague last year. Another batch is being delivered this year, while the latest orders will continue into 2027. The newest order for 25 additional trams is due to be completed by December 3 next year. The new vehicles are needed not only because Prague is building new tram lines but also because the existing fleet needs to be renewed. Some of the oldest trams still in operation are the T3M models, while a large part of the fleet consists of reconstructed T3R.P and T3R.PV vehicles and their derivatives. Replacing older models with a smaller number of standardised tram types should also reduce maintenance and servicing costs, according to the deputy mayor. The new trams are expected...

Prague Airport is expanding and modernising the border control area for arriving passengers at Terminal 1 to increase capacity and reduce waiting times. The project will add five new passport control desks and four EasyGoGate (EGG) self-service gates for eligible European passport holders. The work is scheduled to begin in September 2026 and is expected to be completed by the end of April 2027. The expansion comes as Prague Airport faces increased pressure at border control, particularly during peak hours. The introduction of the European Entry/Exit System (EES) in October 2025 has added to the workload at the airport. The project will also enlarge the waiting area before passport control and upgrade the ventilation system throughout the border control area. The total investment is estimated at CZK 290 million, including construction, design and engineering work, technical supervision and safety coordination. The new passport control equipment will be supplied and installed by the Police of the Czech Republic. Police representatives said the changes are also intended to strengthen security at the Schengen Area’s external border while ensuring the new facilities meet current security and legal requirements.

Prague City Council approved the candidacy on Monday following an approach from the Czech Figure Skating Union. The proposal comes several months after Prague hosted the 2026 World Figure Skating Championships in March. City councilor for education and sports Antonín Klecanda (STAN) said the success of that event helped encourage the city to pursue another major international competition. “The response was very positive, and other countries asked whether another event of this kind could be held in Prague,” Klecanda said on Monday. “We reached an agreement, and today we approved our candidacy to host the European Figure Skating Championship in 2029.” The 2026 World Championships attracted a record number of spectators for a figure skating world championship, according to Klecanda.

The Prague Planetarium in Stromovka will host a new series of chamber concerts combining live music with projections of the universe from September 2026. Called Niche Nites, the series will feature 10 concerts between September 2026 and June 2027. Each performance will be accompanied by visuals projected across the planetarium’s 22-metre-wide dome, with the imagery responding to the music in real time. The programme will take place on the final weekend of each month. Rather than staging repeated performances, each musician or group will appear at the planetarium only once, giving every concert its own programme and visual design. The series will open on September 25 with cellist Terezie Kovalová, whose work combines classical music with pop, alternative and electronic influences. Other performers confirmed for the programme include guitarist and composer Michal Pavlíček, who will appear with singer Bára Basiková, pianist and composer Beata Hlavenková, and singer-songwriter Lenka Dusilová.

The planetarium’s technology will play a central role. Its dome...
