Prague City Tourism is marking the 135th anniversary of the Petřín Lookout Tower with a series of public events spread across May and June. The program also includes activities at the nearby Mirror Maze, with a focus on family visitors and guided experiences on Petřín Hill. The main anniversary day will take place on Sunday, May 3, when visitors will be able to enter the tower for a reduced ticket price of 135 CZK. The ticket will also include access to the Mirror Maze.

Prague 2 to Invest Hundreds of Millions in Schools, Parks and Housing

Prague 2 will spend hundreds of millions of crowns on schools, housing and public space in 2026, after local councillors approved a balanced budget of 1.37 billion crowns in March. Education remains the district’s top priority. A total of 255.4 million crowns will go to primary schools and kindergartens, mainly for repairs, upgrades and capacity expansion. Several projects are already in preparation. These include new electrical systems and lighting at the Viničná kindergarten, as well as plans to rebuild facilities at the Kladská kindergarten. The district is also preparing documentation for an extension of Jan Masaryk Elementary School, which is expected to increase capacity. Further upgrades will target school infrastructure across the district. Boiler rooms are set to be modernised in buildings on Slovenská, Resslova and Vratislavova streets. A reconstruction of school kitchens is also planned, alongside continued renovation work at the Na Smetance elementary school, including its attic and outer structure. The budget also covers non-teaching staff. Prague 2 will distribute 107.16 million crowns from a city subsidy to support wages for roles such as janitors and kitchen staff.

Looking for Fresh and Free Fruit? Head to the Orchards: There Are 70 in Prague!

If you’re looking for fresh fruit, head to the orchards: they’re free, and Prague has the most in the world! Most Praguers have no idea that there are a number of fruit orchards in the capital, where one can pick various fruits for free, from apples to pears and cherries to blackberries. Pluck a few cherries or pears from the tree and eat them right away. For many of us, the fruit carries many memories, especially from our childhood when we used to go to our grandmothers in the countryside or to summer camps as children. We all probably had secret expeditions to neighbors’ gardens where cherries were blushing. But it would probably occur to few that free and completely legal expeditions for fruit can be undertaken in Prague today. Nowadays, when the prices are going up, a little fresh fruit is vital. Just go to one of the 70 Prague orchards. Yes, Prague really has so many–the most in the world. “The Prague City Council manages 70 orchards with a total area of 115 hectares. Even one or two orchards are added per year, either by getting one into the administration or by setting up new ones,” explains Jiří...

British vs. International Curriculum: What’s the Real Difference?

“The British curriculum is way more complex than what we see in Hogwarts or the movies, where the curriculum reflects on individual interconnected topics expanding personal growth and knowledge,” states Robert Charles Ford, Executive Headteacher of Perrott Hill British School Prague. It’s about creating the “Goldilocks” environment for individuals—focused on balancing comfort with well-being and support, and on building lifelong resilience. Ford mentions how this British model is ingrained with holistic values of social responsibility, intellectual curiosity, and global citizenship, serving as essential pillars to an international lifestyle. Nowadays, with the rise of AI learning, British educational focus is becoming more valuable, as character, ethics, and humanity are learned through the classroom and emphasized through critical thinking skills. These are the next generation of leaders in all sorts of fields: from medicine and public health to teaching and business, they will be equipped with the mindset and skills. The British system has always had an element of: “let’s develop the student to be the best version of themselves they can.” Prague is a very crowded market for international education hubs, which is why Perrott Hill Prague is focused on providing quality Cambridge schooling on the path to the only A-Level...

Trdlokafe and Bubblify Hit by Crisis as Franchise Group Faces Debts

The Czech franchise group behind brands such as Trdlokafe and Bubblify is facing mounting financial and legal pressure, raising concerns among investors and business partners. The company, Twist, which once promoted plans to expand across Europe, has entered 2026 dealing with debt proceedings, store closures, and the loss of its Prague headquarters. Two creditor-led insolvency cases have been launched this year against companies within the group. Landlords, including major shopping centers such as Nový Smíchov and Harfa, are among those seeking repayment, alongside suppliers and contractors who claim outstanding invoices. Several outlets, including locations in central Prague, have shut their doors in recent months. Company representatives describe the closures as part of a broader effort to eliminate underperforming sites while opening new ones elsewhere. But some franchise operators tell a different story, saying they were not informed in advance about closures or operational changes affecting their businesses. At one site near Můstek operations have reportedly been transferred to another company under a management agreement, even though the original franchise holder remains listed as the owner. Such arrangements have added to confusion within the network and raised questions about transparency. According to available information, Twist has struggled to meet rent obligations,...

Tip for Families: This Prague Studio Lets Children Build Real Art Skills

In Prague’s Vinohrady district, the Fine Art Studio Malování kreslení stands out as more than just a children’s activity. While many families first discover it through kids’ classes, the studio is built around a broader idea: art education for all ages, from preschool children to seniors. Founded as a non-profit organisation, the studio focuses on high-quality, structured art teaching, led by professional artists — including academic painters, sculptors, architects, and designers. Rather than casual workshops, it operates closer to a small art school, with semester-based courses, regular classes, and a wide range of disciplines. Children’s programmes remain one of its main attractions. Young students can join drawing and painting courses, ceramics workshops, or even comics and illustration classes. There are also formats where parents can attend together with their children, turning the classes into a shared activity rather than simple childcare. The approach combines creativity with technique, introducing basics like proportion, composition, and working with different materials. But the offer goes far beyond that. Teenagers and young adults can take portfolio preparation courses, especially useful for those planning to apply to art schools or architecture programmes. These classes focus on building a body of work and developing individual style under...

New Complex to Bring Houses and Offices Near National Museum

A new high-rise complex is set to reshape the area above Prague’s National Museum, with developers moving forward on a project that will combine housing, offices, and retail space just steps from Wenceslas Square. Private investors behind the project, known as Vinohradská 8, have secured a building permit and plan to begin construction with completion expected in the second half of 2028. The development will stand at the start of Vinohradská Street, in a location long considered one of the most visible in the Czech capital. According to the developers, the project will include around 7,500 square meters of office space facing Vinohradská Street. The ground floor is expected to host shops, cafes, restaurants, and services aimed at both residents and visitors. Nearly 200 apartments will be built in a quieter courtyard section of the complex, offering a mix of unit sizes. Plans also include underground parking with charging stations for electric vehicles. A rooftop viewing point overlooking Wenceslas Square is expected to be one of the defining features of the building, adding a new public vantage point in the city center. The timeline for construction is linked to nearby infrastructure upgrades. The project is expected to follow the completion...

Bringing Inclusive Football Lessons to Children with Prague Soccer School

“Prague Soccer School is all about inclusivity and giving everyone a chance,” says James Ward, the school’s founder. Prague Soccer School was born out of Ward’s recognition that many children in Prague lacked access to welcoming, supportive environments where they could learn and enjoy football. Determined to create a space that prioritized encouragement over competition, Ward built the school on the principles of inclusivity and accessibility. At its core, Prague Soccer School is committed to developing people, not just players. Through its programs, children cultivate a lasting love for the game, grounded in fun, confidence, and a sense of belonging. Participants learn from trained primary school teachers and experienced coaches who understand how to engage and support young learners. This thoughtful approach helps foster an environment where every child feels valued. As Ward explains, “lessons are led by native English-speakers in an international background,” creating a multicultural atmosphere that encourages communication and collaboration. In this setting, children not only improve their football skills but also build confidence in expressing themselves and working as part of a team.

Studying in English? You Don’t Have to Limit Your Search to Foreign Universities

Prague is truly an international city. It is home to expats from all over the world, people with dual citizenship, students who have grown up in multiple countries, and young professionals working at global companies.

March for Life and Feminist Protest Take Over Prague Streets

Thousands of people are expected to gather in the center of Prague on Saturday, April 11, as anti-abortion activists and their opponents hold a series of competing demonstrations across the city. Organizers of the annual March for Life have changed their approach this year, breaking the event into dozens of smaller processions. The move follows disruptions during last year’s march, when protesters blocked parts of the route. This time, participants will depart in coordinated groups from Hradčany Square at 12:30 p.m., taking different paths through the city before converging in Wenceslas Square later in the afternoon. According to organizers from the Movement for Life, the aim of the event is to show support for women facing unplanned pregnancies. Attendance is estimated at around 5,000 people. The final gathering is scheduled between 2:00 p.m. and 3:30 p.m., in the lower part of Wenceslas Square near Na Můstku and Vodičkova Street. At the same time, several counter-demonstrations are planned. A protest titled “Prague is Feminist,” focused on women’s rights, is set to begin at 11:00 a.m. at Republic Square, directly along some of the march routes. Another gathering in support of human rights will take place at Hradčany Square, though officials have...
