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...
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...
“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.

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. For many of them, English is the natural language of everyday communication. But when they think about pursuing a college education, they often automatically assume they’ll have to choose a foreign university. In reality, however, that isn’t necessary. Unicorn University offers programs taught in English right in Prague. People living in the Czech Republic still often assume that if they want to study in English, they have to choose a foreign university. However, that is not the only option. It is also possible to study in English right here in Prague. For people who already live here, this may well be the easiest route. “Programs taught in English have been part of Unicorn University for many years, and our school is naturally open to students from an international background. For people who live in Prague or are planning their careers here, we offer an alternative to foreign universities. They can obtain a university education in English here without having to leave the city where they...
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...
TEDxPragueYouth 2026 will take place on April 13 at the Prague Planetarium, bringing together young speakers, activists, researchers, and creators to discuss the pressures facing today’s generation. Under the theme “What’s to become of us?”, this year’s event will focus on issues such as climate anxiety, social media pressure, constant comparison, and the challenge of finding direction in a rapidly changing world. Organizers say the goal is not to provide simple answers, but to create an open discussion about how young people can shape their future instead of simply reacting to the world around them.

TEDxPrague was founded in 2009 as a...
At the end of April, Prague Philharmonia will bring two evenings of classical music to Prague’s Smetana Hall, featuring internationally acclaimed soloists Maxim Vengerov and Arsenii Moon. Led by Chief Conductor Emmanuel Villaume, the concerts will take place on April 26 and 27, 2026, at the city’s historic Municipal House. The first concert, titled “Carpe Diem – Seize the Moment. Stay in the Sound. Step Outside of Time,” will take place on April 26 and mark the return of Vengerov to Prague. Get your ticket here. Often regarded as one of the leading violinists of his generation, Vengerov has performed on some of the world’s biggest stages and won a Grammy Awards trophy during his career. In Prague, he will perform a program that moves from joyful orchestral music to more emotional and introspective works. The evening will open with Felix Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 4 in A major, also known as the “Italian” Symphony, a lively and energetic piece inspired by the composer’s travels through Italy. Vengerov will then perform Alexey Shor’s Violin Concerto No. 6 “Carpe Diem”, a contemporary work combining lyrical melodies with subtle virtuosity. The concert will end with Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto in D major,...
Prague has added nearly 150,000 residents in the past five years, yet apartment construction is far behind this pace. The capital’s living conditions, high salaries, and abundant career opportunities continue to attract newcomers, fueling an unprecedented demand for housing. Last year alone, Prague’s population grew by 9,204 people, according to the Czech Statistical Office (CZSO). Over the same five-year period, only 26,636 new apartments were completed. This means that for every newly built apartment, more than five new residents are competing for housing. The imbalance is creating a sharply worsening housing shortage. Migration is the main driver of this growth. In 2025, 57,432 people moved into Prague, while 47,046 left. Natural population changes due to births and deaths account for the remaining increase, resulting in a net gain of 9,204 residents for the year. Prague’s appeal is clear. It ranks among the wealthiest regions in the EU, with low crime rates, extensive public transport, accessible healthcare, and rich cultural and sports offerings. Its economic and social advantages are unlikely to diminish, ensuring that population growth will continue. Updated projections by the Institute for Planning and Development (IPR) estimate that Prague could gain another 300,000 residents by 2050. Even this “realistic...
From North Macedonia to Prague, tattoo artist Deni Shalamanov has engraved his place in the city’s evolving ink scene, where Yart Tattoo Space has been standing in Smíchov since 2020. For Deni, the journey to tattooing didn’t start with a machine, but from the captivation of lines and composition. “Since I was a child, I have been interested in tattooing. I was always fascinated by the strokes of a paintbrush and the linework of drawing,” Deni recalls. As he got older, he initially worked in a different field, immediately noticing the inborn creativity that never truly left him. Earlier years of drawing and painting influenced a recognizable style combining fine line, microrealism, and geometric elements, which came instinctively applied with patience and precision. “About six years ago, I ordered my first tattoo machine and started tattooing my closest friends, which quickly became a form of self-expression I fell in love with,” mentions Deni. Not long after, Deni opened his own tattoo studio in his hometown and worked there for several years until eventually relocating to Prague. As an artistically and culturally rich, awe-inspiring city, Prague is a creative’s playground. “I’ve already created several designs inspired by Prague, incorporating elements of...
The gardens surrounding Troja Castle are once again drawing visitors as spring arrives in Prague. Plum trees have started to bloom across the lower parterre, filling the Baroque grounds with shades of pink and purple. The garden is one of the most distinctive in the Czech capital, not only because of its spring display, but also because of its unusual design. The layout was inspired by the eight-pointed star in the coat of arms of the Šternberk family, the noble family linked to the castle’s history. The number eight appears repeatedly throughout the grounds, shaping both the paths and the planting scheme. The upper part of the garden is laid out with low boxwood hedges, flower beds and two original Baroque fountains. A ramp once used by horse-drawn carriages leads from this section to the lower garden. The lower garden is divided into eight triangular sections arranged in a square. Ornamental plum trees grow along the outer sections and are now covered in pink blossoms. At the centre stands the Neptune Fountain, built on the site of the original Baroque fountain. Visitors can also find a range of sculptures and decorative features throughout the grounds. Among them are a garden...
The Prodigy will return to Prague this autumn as part of its European tour, with a concert scheduled for November 23 at O2 Arena. The show will mark the band’s first-ever performance at the venue, which is expected to host one of the biggest electronic music events of the year. Known for its high-energy live performances, the British group is promising a redesigned stage production for the 2026 tour, combining heavy beats, large-scale visuals, and a setlist spanning more than three decades of music. The current touring lineup includes founding members Liam Howlett and Maxim, joined by longtime live musicians Rob Holliday and Leo Crabtree. The Prague stop is part of a wider European run that also includes shows in Oslo, Stockholm, Berlin, Vienna, Amsterdam, and Brussels. The tour follows a sold-out arena run in the UK and Ireland.

Prague’s long-awaited Petřín funicular is moving closer to reopening, with the new cable car cars already delivered to the Czech Republic and set to be installed later this month. The new cars, built in Olten, Switzerland for Prague’s public transport company, are currently being stored at a depot while reconstruction work on the line continues. Installation on Petřín Hill is expected to begin in the second half of April. If testing and approval processes stay on schedule, passengers could return to the route in September, according to Prague’s transport company, which shared the update on X. The historic funicular, which runs from Újezd through Nebozízek to the top of Petřín Hill, has been closed since September 2024 for a full reconstruction of the line and supporting infrastructure. The two new cars were produced by the Austrian-Swiss group Doppelmayr/Garaventa, based on a design by Czech studio Anna Marešová Designers. The contract was worth 137.7 million CZK. Before the new cars can be placed into service, workers still need to install the traction cable and connect both cars to the system. Once that is complete, the remaining technology required for operation will be assembled. Test runs without passengers are scheduled for May...
