RefuFest will return to Prague on June 20, 2026, marking its 20th anniversary edition at VILA Štvanice Theatre and the surrounding outdoor area. The event, organised by the non-profit InBáze, will coincide with World Refugee Day and run under the motto “Courage. Resilience. Responsibility.” RefuFest has long been focused on intercultural exchange and community life in Prague. Organisers say the aim is to create an open space where people from the Czech Republic and abroad can meet through music, food and shared experiences. “This year’s motto reflects the need to return to basic values in a time of uncertainty,” said Barbora Hanzalová from InBáze. Co-organiser Jana Remenárová added that the festival continues to focus on dialogue and mutual understanding. The music programme will feature a mix of international and Czech artists. Among the highlights is the All Star Refjúdží Band, bringing together musicians from China, Kurdistan, Armenia and the United States. Other performances include Cumbia Cooperativa with Afro-Caribbean rhythms, and Balkanzor, a multinational band combining influences from Spain, Peru, France, Greece, Bulgaria and Czechia.

Prague Museum Night returns on June 13th, offering free or discounted admission at more than 60 venues across the city. One of the biggest additions in 2026 is the participation of the National Gallery Prague. As part of the event, visitors will be able to access several of its major sites, including the Schwarzenberg Palace, Šternberk Palace, Salm Palace and the Convent of St. Agnes. Other newcomers include Rothmayer Villa and Signal Space, a digital art venue located in Prague’s historic center. Signal Space will present its immersive exhibition Echoes of Tomorrow, alongside an interactive children’s zone and a selection of video mapping projects previously featured at the Signal Festival. The heart of this year’s event will once again be the recently renovated Main Building of the Museum of Prague in Florenc. The neo-Renaissance landmark reopened to the public six months ago after a five-year restoration project and will serve as the main meeting point throughout the evening. Outdoor activities will begin at 4 p.m., while the museum building itself opens at 6 p.m. Visitors will be able to explore the museum’s permanent exhibition City in Time, visit the Tělák exhibition and take part in creative workshops designed for children...
A 700-meter concrete wall in Prague 6 is about to become a landmark of contemporary street art. Starting June 15, thirty artists from the Czech Republic and abroad will spend two weeks painting Mural Ruzyně — a project that, once complete, will rank as the third longest collaborative mural in Europe. The wall runs along Vlastina Street in Ruzyně and has long been one of those forgotten stretches of urban infrastructure that nobody really looks at. By the end of June, that changes. What Is Mural Ruzyně The project is initiated by the Prague 6 municipal district and carried out by The Chemistry Gallery as part of the Urban Pictus festival — a biennial event now in its third edition, running from June to September 2026. The painted surface will cover roughly 1,800 square meters, wrapping the theme “The Beauty of the City in Motion” across the full length of the wall. The work runs June 15–30, and the public is welcome to watch the process unfold on site. Who Is Painting It The lineup spans both established names and internationally recognized figures. From the Czech scene: Michal Škapa, Toy Box, Chemis, Sany, and Jakub Tytykalo. The international roster includes...
Summer in Prague means one thing: outdoor concerts. Among the city’s most established warm-weather traditions, Prague Open Air returns this season with 20 performances spread across two venues, running from early June through the first week of September. The festival draws a mix of Czech headliners and international acts. This year’s foreign bookings include British electronic duo Kosheen and Celtic punk veterans Dropkick Murphys — two names that need no introduction for anyone who spent time near a radio or mosh pit in the early 2000s. On the domestic side, fans can expect Rozálie, Mig 21, and David Koller, among others. How It Starts — and How It Ends The opening night falls on Wednesday, June 3, with Wohnout taking the stage at Energy Pub in Riegrovy sady. The curtain closes on September 8 at the same location, where Jasná Páka will deliver the final set of the season. Two Venues, Two Atmospheres All concerts take place at one of two locations: Energy Pub in Riegrovy sady, one of Prague’s most beloved hilltop beer gardens, and Areál7 in Holešovice, an industrial-edged event space in one of the city’s fastest-changing neighborhoods.

Making friends as an adult isn’t always easy. For many people in Prague, especially those who have recently moved to the city, work often becomes the main social outlet. Finding new connections outside the office can take time. Sport has long been one of the easiest ways to meet people, but joining a club or committing to a competitive team isn’t for everyone. That’s where Prague-based VIVA Sports comes in. Founded in 2024, VIVA Sports organizes recreational leagues, tournaments, and open play sessions across the city. The goal is simple: give people a chance to stay active while meeting others who share the same interests. The organization offers beach volleyball, football, pickleball, and other activities throughout the year. Participants can either sign up for a single session or join one of the eight-week leagues. For those who are unsure whether a league is right for them, open play sessions provide a low-pressure alternative. Players register for a single event, show up, and join a game. No team is required, and there is no long-term commitment. View this post on Instagram A post shared by VIVA Sports (@vivasports.cz) The leagues are aimed at people who want something more regular....

It is hard to forget Travis Scott’s show in Prague a few years ago, when the O2 Arena was transformed into a sold-out venue that echoed far beyond the Czech capital. This autumn, another major name from global rap is heading to the same stage. A$AP Rocky will perform in Prague, bringing a catalogue of songs streamed billions of times worldwide. A$AP Rocky, born Rakim Mayers, rose to international attention in 2011 and has since remained one of the most visible figures in modern hip hop. His music has accumulated more than 25 billion streams globally, while his videos have surpassed 8.8 billion views on YouTube. His catalogue includes tracks such as Praise the Lord, Babushka Boi and Highjack, which helped shape his global profile. He has also built a strong presence outside music, becoming known for his work in fashion, visual culture, and brand collaborations. He currently serves as creative director for Ray-Ban. On Sunday, October 4, he will perform at Prague’s O2 Arena. The concert is expected to bring both his best-known tracks and material from his recent work, including his latest album Don’t Be Dumb. The show follows a period in which Rocky has expanded into film...
Riverside International School Prague has once again achieved the highest possible rating in every category of its latest British Schools Overseas (BSO) inspection, according to the report released following the March 2026 review. The result marks the third consecutive inspection in which the school has received a full “Outstanding” judgement, extending a 12-year record of top-tier evaluations. As part of the recommendations, Riverside was encouraged to, “Become a beacon of excellence for other schools — leverage expertise and exploit the school’s position as a leader of innovation, to drive and support regional developments. The British Schools Overseas framework is a formal inspection process aligned with standards set by the UK Department for Education. Designed to ensure that British international schools operate at the same level as leading independent schools in England, the BSO accreditation is widely regarded as one of the most rigorous external benchmarks for British education overseas. In addition to its BSO status, Riverside is accredited and recognised by a number of respected international and British organisations, including the Council of International Schools (CIS), New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), Council of British International Schools (COBIS), and the Association of British Schools Overseas (AoBSO).

Photovoltaics, battery storage and heat pumps have become increasingly common in new residential developments across Europe. A Czech technology company, Electree, is now testing a different approach that pushes the idea of energy efficiency further: using waste heat from servers and computing equipment to help heat apartment buildings and provide hot water. The company has introduced a system it describes as a computing-based boiler room. The solution, called Electree HUB 5.0, integrates servers and computing hardware into the building’s energy system. Instead of treating the generated heat as a byproduct to be removed through cooling, the system redirects it to support heating and water heating. A pilot installation has already been deployed in Brno, in an apartment building on Auerswaldova Street. The project includes 36 residential units, rooftop solar panels, battery storage, and a server-based heat recovery system. The principle is straightforward. Data processing equipment produces large amounts of heat, which is typically removed and wasted through cooling systems. In this model, that energy is captured and reused within the building’s heating infrastructure. Early results from the Brno pilot suggest energy cost reductions of around 20 to 25 percent. The company expects that future projects could increase savings to as...
The number of apartments used for short-term tourist accommodation in Prague has climbed to an estimated 18,000, according to the Association of Hotels and Restaurants of the Czech Republic (AHR). The figure is significant when compared with Prague’s housing development. Data from the Czech Statistical Office show that construction began on 7,380 new apartments in the capital last year. Over the past three years, developers have started work on fewer than 21,300 homes in total. If the AHR estimate is accurate, the number of apartments dedicated to short-term stays is approaching the equivalent of three years of residential construction in Prague. The expansion of short-term accommodation has become increasingly visible across the city. According to the association, traditional hotels in Prague offer approximately 35,000 rooms, meaning short-term rentals now represent roughly one-third of the capital’s overall accommodation capacity. Industry representatives argue that the sector serves a different segment of travelers than conventional hotels. While Airbnb remains the most recognized name in the market, apartments are also widely advertised through other services, including Booking.com. The rapid growth of the sector is not unique to Prague. Across Europe, short-term accommodation booked through digital platforms has become a major part of the tourism...
The Ukrainian grocery chain Best Market is set to enter the Czech market next week, opening its first store in Prague as part of its continued expansion across Central Europe. The retailer will officially launch its first Czech branch on June 6 at Budějovická Street in Prague 4. The opening day will include product tastings, competitions, activities for children, and appearances by invited guests. The first 100 shoppers will receive a gift from the company. Best Market specializes in food products from Ukraine and other Eastern European countries, a segment that has attracted growing interest among both foreign residents and Czech consumers looking to explore different regional cuisines. Customers visiting the Prague store will find a broad selection of products, including meat and cold cuts, fish specialties, dairy products, pastries, sweets, canned goods, pickled vegetables, and a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.
