Prague’s gastronomic scene is once again a little more diverse thanks to the newly opened restaurant at The Mozart Prague Hotel. Meals from the kitchen of chef Marek Koucký impress with the originality of flavours, aesthetics of served dishes and above all the quality of local and exotic ingredients – all in the very heart of Prague. While cafés and bistros are springing up like mushrooms in Prague, nice restaurants offering tasty food are stagnating or even shutting down. Especially in the city centre, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find a place that meets the most demanding requirements for taste, originality and a pleasant environment without crowds passing by the table. Now you don’t have to look any further – everything you and your taste buds crave is offered by the Mozart Prague restaurant. Its kitchen is led by experienced chef Marek Koucký, who has spent the past fifteen years gaining experience in London, Mexico City and luxury resorts in the Maldives. This, of course, has also influenced his original cooking style. Jerusalem artichoke soup, roasted chestnuts, shimeji mushrooms, coffee foam For the autumn season, Marek has created a new menu that will delight both lovers of classics (veal...

A taxi driver in Prague charged foreign tourists 7,100 crowns for a 5.5-kilometre ride, Irena Seifertová, a spokesman for the police, told the Czech News Agency. The customers hailed the taxi at Rytířská street in the centre to U Průhon Street in Prague 7. “When they arrived at the location, the driver initially demanded CZK 2,000 for the ride, but then he asked for more money. The customers, in order to get out of the car, eventually paid him CZK 7,100. After that he was stopped by officers from the Taxi Team,” added Seifertová. The ride should not have exceeded CZK 300. According to the officers, the driver did not use the meter, but showed the total amount to the customers on his mobile phone. In the end, he was given a bail of CZK 100,000, which he did not pay on the spot. Therefore, the officers stopped his car, seized his vehicle, and documents. In administrative proceedings, he can face fines of tens of thousands and the revocation of his license for three years. Officers on the spot could fine the driver up to CZK 10,000. “However, given the amount of overcharging, this would be rather a mockery,” the...
DPP has been building a new trolleybus line from Palmovka to Prosek and from Letňany to Čakovice since January 2022. On October 15 and 16, DPP plans a weekend trial weekend operation with passengers on the Letňany – Čakovice section with a Škoda 30Tr trolleybus borrowed from Hradec Králové. Full operation on the entire line from Palmovka to Miškovice is scheduled to begin after delivery and approval of fifteen new TNS 18 trolleybuses ordered from SOR and equipped by Cegelec. DPP expects the first vehicle to arrive in December this year, and the remaining fourteen vehicles are scheduled to arrive next spring. After delivery, they will run in test operation, initially without passengers. “We firmly believe that during the next year we will convert the trial operation to a live operation,” said Petr Witowski, Chairman of the Board of Directors and CEO of DPP. Construction in the section between Palmovka and Prosek should take less than a month. According to DPP, the total estimated cost should reach CZK 284 million. Trolleybus line number 58 will run on the new line, replacing bus line 140. Together with 15 kilometers of new overhead lines, the companies also built the necessary power supply...
The first Apple Premium Partner store in Central Europe has opened in the largest shopping centre in the Czech Republic, Westfield Chodov. The new iStyle branch is the first official Apple partner, which invested CZK 15 million in the redevelopment of the premises. The queues for the opening of the store stretch all the way to the nearby metro station. The company plans to open more premium stores in existing branches in Palladium, Vaňkovka shopping center in Brno and Černý Most shopping centres.

The Apple Premium Partner store is also to host regular training sessions and open workshops for the public. iStyle has been thriving in the domestic market for a long...
A huge drop in the mortgage market caused developers in Prague to sell only 550 flats in the third quarter of this year. For the first three quarters of this year, sales have so far reached 2,550 and according to current trends, it looks like only around 3,000 flats will be sold in Prague for the whole year. Compared to last year’s record year, when developers sold 7,450 new flats, this is a significant drop. The latest data on the Prague residential real estate market was published in a joint analysis by the development companies Central Group, Trigema and Skanska Residential. “Year-on-year sales fell by sixty percent and quarter-on-quarter they went down by forty-three percent. This is the biggest decline in the time we have been tracking residential market data. Those interested in buying through a mortgage have almost completely disappeared from the market,” says Marcel Soural, owner of investment and development group Trigema. Developers refer to the current drop in sales and demand as pent-up demand and believe it will start to return next year. “This is mainly due to the mood in society. People are putting off buying property not because they can't afford it or are impoverished,...

A rally called “Czechia Against Fear” will take place on Wenceslas Square on Sunday, October 30. It is organized by the civic organisation Milion chvilek pro demokracii (A Million Moments for Democracy), which has organized demonstrations against the government of Andrej Babiš and the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. “Come to say together, ‘We can do it! Come to face the fear and show to society that we will stand up for democracy, for Ukraine, and overcome the crisis. Come to be energized with positive energy and hope,” states the official event on Facebook. “The war in Ukraine, the energy crisis, inflation… understandable fears are growing among people. But in the embrace of the pro-Russian fear mongers who radicalize society in the squares, we will find neither solutions nor peace. They systematically undermine democratic values and sow fear. We need to show that you – hundreds of thousands of other citizens – care about democracy. We must also send a message to the government to act quickly and clearly.” “In difficult times, we will stand together as democrats to confront fear and demonstrate the power of democracy to make a difference. We will show faith in the system we fought for more...

Letná in Prague 7 has been named among the 51 Coolest Neighbourhoods in the World to visit right now by Time Out. “Although it’s just across the River Vltava from Prague’s densely packed Old Town, vibrant Letná offers great contrast – notably thanks to its abundance of open space. In 1989, hundreds of thousands of Praguers huddled together at Letná Park in sub-zero temperatures to finish off communism,” describes David Creighton. “Today, on summer evenings, they play sport, have picnics, or head to the Letná beer garden for a drink with fabulous views of the Old Town below. The wider neighbourhood (along with neighbouring Holešovice) is part of Art District 7, and the Trade Fair Palace showcases modern art and merits a visit for the functionalist architecture alone. Of all Prague’s districts, Letná has notably bounced back since 2020, and the numerous eateries and independent shops are evidence of its strong local spirit.” The perfect day Grab brunch at Café Letka, then work it off by exploring the neighbourhood’s other green space: ancient Stromovka Park. Refuel with some locally-sourced international fare at The Farm Urban Kitchen and Coffee and take in a gallery or museum – the National Technical Museum, complete with a crop of vintage Škodas, is much...
Ukrainians rallied Tuesday in the Czech capital of Prague for the second straight evening to condemn this week’s barrage of Russian missile strikes against cities across Ukraine and to demand more weapons from the West to protect their nation. The protesters held blue-and-yellow crosses with the names of the cities hit by the Russian missiles. “Ukraine needs air defenses to be able to prevent the massacres of the civilian population and destruction of our cities,” Anastasiia Sihnaievska told the crowd. “We are protecting our right to live,” said Sihnaievska, who fled her town of Zhytomyr because of the Russian invasion. People chanted “Russia´s terrorist!” and “More weapons for Ukraine!” They unveiled a giant Ukrainian flag and displayed banners that read “Air defense systems for Ukraine,” “We will not forget, We will not forgive,” or “Stop bombing Ukraine.” “It’s great that Europe supports us but we need more help,” said the 21-year-old Ivanna Mykuliak. A student of physics in Odesa, she came to the Czech Republic to work to help support her family in Ukraine. Protesters who were not Ukrainian also joined the rally. “Ukraine is fighting for us,” said Julie Levkova, a Czech who helped organize the protest. “I want...
After years of covid, the largest Czech sports hall, Prague’s O2 Arena, is once again being used. In addition to foreign stars, it has increasingly attracted domestic musicians, for whom it was previously an unattainable benchmark. We bring you a selection of some interesting (not only) musical events that you can see at the O2 Arena before the end of this year. Mirai, October 13, 2022 The Czech mainstream music scene has been experiencing a truly golden time in recent years, with musicians who would have been unimaginable just a few years ago increasingly making their way to giant halls. After Pokáč, who recently played in the Vysočany hall, the band around frontman Mirai Navrátil is now going to try it out. However, Mirai invited several guests to the O2 Arena (including their producer Ondřej Fiedler) and they will perform a collection of their biggest hits to date. 50 Cent – October 17 + 18, 2022 If you as a rap fan are not satisfied with Kendrick Lamar, the week after him, the O2 Arena will be rocked by the production of one of the titans of contemporary American hip-hop, the senior Curtis James Jackson aka 50 Cent.
