20 Years After the Floods. Karlín Undergone Transformation and Further Development Awaits

In the twenty years since the devastating floods, Prague’s Karlín has changed significantly, with new construction attracting businesses, shops and services, and changing the composition of the population. Marek Vácha, the spokesman for the city’s Institute of Planning and Development, said that the biggest construction development has been in the area around the Vltava River, where another large development is planned and the city also wants to build a large park. Industrial Karlín turned into an office district Originally industrial and working-class Karlín has been transformed since the floods into a district of offices and luxury housing. Several houses had to be demolished after the floods, many were evicted and the original tenants never returned. This, together with new construction, accelerated the transformation of the neighborhood and led to a change in the social composition of the residents. Housing prices in Karlín are now at the level of the most desirable Prague neighbourhoods such as Vinohrady, Letná or Dejvice. Since the time of the floods a number of large office buildings have sprung up along Rohanský nábřeží, and residential developers have also taken advantage of the opportunity. “The biggest development is in the Rohanský ostrov area,” Vácha said. He added...

Zenga: Multidimensional Experience in Prague

Japanese Zen Paintings from the Kaeru-An Collection are brought to the National Gallery Prague by curators Markéta Hánová and Jana Ryndová. Zenga is a thoroughly organized space where you can feel yourself a part of the artistic universe and customize your experience of Zen. The exhibition is organized into five realms, each presents one of the main principles of the ancient teaching, giving you an opportunity to become a disciple yourself. The multidimensional space-shaping approach is adjusted in order to bring to movement all the senses you may use to perceive reality and its new experiences. You are invited to observe the painting while sitting in a special area in front of it, while your hearing is busy with thoroughly chosen musical accompaniment. This way you may actually feel the artwork and interpret it in accordance with the teaching, making it your very own experience, allowing it to change you and therefore complete its mission. The exhibition will run until October 2, 2022. “Nothing is lacking and nothing is in excess” Be sure to trust the art space that awakens silence in your own mind where an ability to listen to the world and interpret its messages can be discovered. That sacred faculty...

Prague Will Test Advanced Video Analysis of Traffic Flow

The data will be anonymous and will help the city plan traffic conditions more efficiently. Prague will test a new method of obtaining anonymized statistical data about traffic, the city website informs. In particular, municipal company Operátor ICT will be making advanced video analysis, with the objective of improving the management of the traffic flow and making it more efficient. Smarter and more sustainable mobility At the beginning of this week, the City Council of Prague approved a contract for the provision of technology testing services for obtaining anonymised statistical traffic data. The purpose of said contract is for the capital city to have backing for future decisions about territorial development, changes in traffic signs or modification of signal plans or construction modifications. According to the Mayor of Prague, Zdeněk Hřib, the changes are needed as the number of cars in the city is growing constantly. Therefore, the authorities need to find solutions to ensure smooth passage through the territory, by investing massively in infrastructure, but also – through managing transport “based on data, not impressions”. But on top of improving decision-making at the political level, the data is likely to help all citizens, visitors and developers of Prague, as it will be published as open data on the Golemio platform....

Another Vandal Has Desecrated the Charles Bridge

Another vandal has desecrated the Charles Bridge. He can face up to three years in prison. The Charles Bridge in Prague has very little tolerance for vandals. Someone spray painted the medieval monument again recently–the fresh work appeared on a pillar about 20 meters from the abandoned city police office. The inscription, which the currently unknown perpetrator created on the bridge, is roughly two meters long. “If caught, he faces a prison sentence of up to three years,” police officer Violeta Siřišťová said. It is not the first time this has happened. Although the bridge is guarded by cameras, attacks by vandals happen relatively frequently. In July 2019, one of the pillars was vandalized by German tourists. One of them was sentenced to a year’s probation, a fine of one hundred thousand crowns, and banishment for five years. Two years later, a seventeen-year-old boy and a girl a year younger scribbled blue on the railing and plinth of a statue. Unfortunately, there are more cases of destruction of Prague’s monuments. The last time this year in July was a group of young people scribbling on the wall at the so-called Fisherman’s House in Kampa. “They caused quite a lot of...

Na Břehu Rhôny Brings a Taste of France to Malá Strana

Beer is what made Prague famous. But as the city becomes ever more cosmopolitan and international, locals and tourists alike are expecting a much greater variety in the drinks they enjoy. Nestled inconspicuously in Malá Strana, Na Břehu Rhôny is bringing exactly that: a much-needed contribution to Czech wine culture. They offer a wide variety of French wines that cannot be found anywhere else in the Czech Republic. Opened at the end of May, the newest location focuses only on tapas and wine—all while bringing a huge dose of authentic French charm. Situated in a heavily trafficked area of Malá Strana, but a few blocks away from the main strip, the venue is surprisingly peaceful. The patio is pleasant and airy, often hosting live jazz acts—every Thursday for the remainder of the summer. Venture further in, and there is more to be discovered: a tastefully decorated interior that retains the charm of the old building while adding touches of French charm and a spacious courtyard that offers more private outdoor seating. Na Břehu Rhôny was started in Vyton from a desire to host friends and share in the pleasures of good wine—it has rapidly expanded, as the owners confront increasing...

This Prague Rooftop Bar Has Been Named Among the Best in Europe

There’s only one thing to do when the heat and humidity hit – find the nearest rooftop bar and cool down with a cocktail or two. It might not have the same skyscrapers as New York or Tokyo, but there are some jaw-dropping rooftop bars in Europe. From London to Luxembourg and everywhere in between, here’s the 2022 roundup of the best rooftop bars in Europe ranked by Big 7 Travel. Their ranking system uses aggregated scores taking into account online reviews from Google, Tripadvisor, and previous media coverage, as well as input from the editorial team on factors including rooftop views, design, and drinks list, they have revealed the hottest places to sip ‘n’ social distance this summer.

There Are Almost 100 Thousand Empty Flats in Prague

Some people keep a free apartment for their children when they grow up, another plan to reconstruct it, and another just relay on the regular growth of the apartment’s value. Many owners offer the apartment for short-term rent, which the city’s management has been trying to limit unsuccessfully for a long time. Whatever the reasons, tens of thousands of vacant apartments can be found in the capital. Last year, there were 93,627 of them, representing 13 percent of the total 721,332 apartments. This is based on data from the 2021 Census of Flats published by the Czech Statistical Office (CSO). In the Czech Republic as a whole, statisticians record a total of 859 894 unoccupied flats, while the number of occupied ones is 4 480 139, according to the CSO. The largest number of unoccupied flats, 120 215, is in the Central Bohemia Region. The reasons for holding an uninhabited apartment may be different. Even a landlord who decides to offer an apartment on the rental market does not win immediately. Finding a solid and regular paying tenant is not easy. The law protects the tenant, but getting rid of rogue tenants is very difficult and can take many months....

Libeňský Bridge to be Revitalized, With Shops and Skate Park Built Beneath It

The capital city will start repairing the Libeň bridge this year. It is to become not only an important traffic artery connecting Holešovice and Palmovka, but also a place of recreation. A cafe and a skatepark will be created under the arched bridge. During repairs, pedestrians and cyclists will have to cross the river via a temporary footbridge, and public transport will be brought to the bridge from both sides. “We are looking for every opportunity to dust off the outdated beauty of the Cubist construction of the architect Pavel Janák and its surroundings,” said Deputy Mayor for Transport Adam Scheinherr regarding the new look of the Libeň Bridge, which has never been repaired. Therefore, according to him, the city will retain the most valuable part of the bridge from 1928 – the arch structure. “The arch constructions will connect the new bridge constructions based on Janák’s sketches, currently designed in detail in terms of layout and shape. Thanks to these bridges, the level of the Vltava in Karlín will drop by several tens of centimeters during a flood. We will supplement the new bridges with barrier-free ramps to Rohanský ostrov, which will become a beautiful park in the future,”...

Tickets on Sale Now for 50 Cent’s October Performance in Prague

It has been 12 years since Curtis James Jackson III, better known as 50 Cent, visited the Czech capital. On October 18, the legend of rap will be making his triumphant return. Who doesn’t know the album Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ or the hit Candy Shop? It’s impossible to overstate the importance of the Queens native on the development and history of rap. The founder of G-Unit should return to the Czech Republic as part of the tour on October 18, performing at the 02 Arena. Tickets go on sale Tuesday. 50 Cent did not have an easy upbringing. He dealt with drugs in elementary school, along with crime, gangs, and even multiple gunshot wounds (he has been shot nine times). But all that did was push him further towards his dreams. This is the third time that the 47-year-old rap legend will take the stage in Prague. The Grammy winner, who sold more than 30 million copies of his 2002 album Get Rich Or Die Tryin’, will be in Europe twenty years after its release. It’s clear that the verses he laid down all those years ago still hold up. He last performed here in 2010 in Holešovice,...

Domestic Tourism Flourishes as Prague’s Hotels Fill Up; Russians, Asians Still Missing

Many Prague hotels have been full for most of the summer as Prague has seen tourism returning to the city. Following the lifting of pandemic restrictions, many foreign tourists are coming, mostly from neighboring states and other European countries, as well as the United States. However, guests from Asia are still missing, and as a result of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and the decisions made, travelers from Russia are as well. Some hoteliers are reporting record occupancy for July, even higher than in the pre-crisis year of 2019, while elsewhere it remains below this level in part due to the missing demographics. The Czech Inn Hotels network has had occupancy recently floating around 95% of capacity. “Even after covid, we are the market leader in terms of Prague hotels. The customers are completely different,” said company owner Jaroslav Svoboda. A high share of Czech tourists to Prague has bolstered numbers, which was vital throughout the pandemic when foreign travel was challenging. From abroad, guests come from neighboring countries and Europe in general. Visitors from more far-flung locations are missing. The season so far has been, according to him, well above expectations set at the beginning of the year. The occupancy of...

There’s a New Massive Mural in Karlín

Over 120 meters of surface, three and a half days of work, seventy cans of paint. The new mural in Karlín is ready. In Křižíkova Street, the artist Michal Škapa completed a giant mural on the facade of house number 61. It is the second mural that appeared on the streets of Prague as part of the Wall Street Festival. Three more will be added to the city during the summer, one of which will again be created by Skapa alias Tron. “I really liked the wall here, so I wanted to do create something new. It was a great wall for a more detailed painting like this. I am glad that it is in Karlín, in this great location. It’s a very busy street and I have a personal relationship with that place,” Škapa said. He started work on the forklift on Monday, and finished it on Thursday. “We start at night and use a projector to outline the reference points in one color on the wall. The next day, we started painting and coating, making shapes, adding other elements,” Škapa described, adding that he used about seventy cans of paint for the mural. During the Wall Street festival,...
