Jakub originally comes from Martin (Northern Slovakia). He studied film editing and sound engineering. Back in his home country, he was running summer cinemas and a music club. Recently, he moved to Prague as an opportunity came up in the shape of a 70m long boat, which wasn’t being used much at the time. The idea was to open an 80-seat cinema on it with a friendly atmosphere for film lovers to share their passion and hang out. As a Slovak, he feels at home in Prague. Not only are the languages very similar and people understand each other mutually, but he also loves the fact that everything can be found in Prague. From quiet places and historical sites to busy places and modern sites, but the thing he finds the most important, are the wonderful people from all around the world that you can come across in Prague. Go and meet Jakub on his boat. Enjoy a great mixture of alternative movies and selected blockbusters either on board or even outside the boat. www.fb.com/throughmikeseyes For more Colours of Prague on FB
The concept of “overtourism” has gained so much traction over the last few years, it was even named as one of the Oxford Dictionary’s 2018 Words of the Year. Now, 20 more cities are on alert lest they turn into the future face of the problem, according to a new report from the World Travel & Tourism Council and commercial real estate firm JLL. The report, called “Destination 2030,” examines the tourism “readiness” of 50 destinations around the world and groups cities into five types. The “emerging performers” category includes destinations where infrastructure and tourism momentum are growing along with the pressures associated with more tourists. Those cities were Bangkok; Cape Town, South Africa; Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam; Istanbul; Jakarta, Indonesia; Mexico City; and New Delhi. Another 13 cities — called “mature performers” — were described as having an established tourism infrastructure, strong leisure or business travel, and good positioning to manage current growth levels. “But there is a risk of future strains related to visit volume, infrastructure or activity that is testing readiness for additional growth,” the report said. It listed Auckland, New Zealand; Berlin; Dublin; Las Vegas; Lisbon; London; Los Angeles; Madrid; Miami; New York; Seoul; Seville; and Sydney...
Prague will host an event for all Italian tin-wasp enthusiasts. This year, it’ll take place one month earlier than usual – from Friday, 21st till Sunday, 23rd of June 2019. The traditional meeting of the Vespa owners from various countries takes place at the Dzban site near an artificial lake. “We have participants from the neighboring countries, Poland, Austria, and Germany. There is also one woman from Italy who drove some 1000 kilometres alone on the way to Prague, and some Dutch people. We are still waiting for one from Albania,” said Simon, vice-president of Vespa Club Prague. Some participants have brand new Vespas, while others are looking after their scooters for years carefully. Several fans drive even historical Vespa scooters from the 1950s. The scooter’s name means “wasp” in Italian as its engine sounds like a wasp’s buzzing. Others point to the scooter’s shape that resembles this black-yellow insect. Programme: Friday 21st June 2019 14:00 – info and registration stall (reception) open 14:00–21:00 – welcome, individual accommodation, refreshment 21:00–23:00 – night rides (small groups with road captains) 20:00–02:00 – party (camp + restaurant Šárka) Saturday 22nd June 2019 09:00 – Breakfast 10:00–13:00 Grand parade ride through Prague city center 13:00–18:00...
The Administration of Prague Castle, the presidential seat, has leased the late-Gothic Vladislav Hall, used for official ceremonies, for commercial purposes for the first time, in particular to the Louis Vuitton French fashion brand. Next week, Louis Vuitton will hold a gala dinner for its clients and launch its exhibition of a new collection of jewels in Vladislav Hall, where the Czech heads of state are inaugurated and the president annually presents state orders and medals on the national holiday, October 28. The French firm will pay 605,000 euros including VAT for the lease. The Vladislav Hall, which is almost 500 years old, is one of the most important parts of Prague Castle because some of the most significant national events have taken place there. The chamber first served as the Hall of Homage to the Czech kings. The hall was mainly used for ceremonial purposes, where homage was paid to monarchs after coronation ceremonies. Assemblies of the Bohemian Estates also took place in the Vladislav Hall. The coronation ceremonies featured tournaments between knights, as evidenced by the famous Rider’s Staircase, by which the knights entered the hall on horseback. Author: red
Regular blood donors will be able to use public transport in Prague for free for one year. The idea is part of a project that the City Hall runs with the Czech Red Cross. The offer will concern donors who have participated in more than 80 blood donations. According to the data, 736 Praguers reached this number last year. The Czech Republic is lacking around 100,000 blood donors. While existing donors are getting older, fewer new ones are coming forward every year. Experts say commercial blood donation has also been contributing to the problem. Transfusion centres say that the biggest shortage of blood occurs in the summer months when the number of accidents increases at the same time as many donors are away. At present, there are some 270,000 voluntary blood donors in the country with a population of 10.5 million, which is far below the 4 percent of inhabitants that the Council of Europe recommends as a sufficient share of blood donors. Over the past decade, the register of blood donors has been shrinking due to older people no longer giving for various reasons and a lack of younger people joining to replace them. People are also concerned that they could get an infection...
The high temperatures in Prague have caused tram tracks to bend at Na Veselí street (Nusle). The incident was observed yesterday, Tuesday 5th. The trams did not run for two hours along the Náměstí Bratří Synků – Vozovna Pankrác line. The bended tracks at the spot were fixed by the same evening. The spokeswoman of DPP stated that this was the first big case for this year. The technicians had to cut the faulty track and place it back. To prevent problems like this, drivers are instructed to slow down near vulnerable areas. The track spots with high sensitivity seem to be the tram tracks above the road levels and old ones.

In June, shopping mall Máj will open its premises, freshly adopting the concept of pop-up stores. The concept of short-time leases gives space to usual as well as innovative and experimental selling ideas and formats. For new brands and startups, it represents an exceptional opportunity for a fast and intense market entrance. One of Prague´s busiest shopping centers offers its area of 9,500 sq meters for a limited period of 18 months. After this time, a total renovation of the building will begin. Pop Up Máj builds on short-term leases that offer significant opportunities for innovations and experimenting. Instead of signing a long-standing lease, the retailers can use the premises according to their needs. Flexible leases allow to transform the premises into a test center, a showroom, or bring special offers of seasonal goods at any time. However, Pop Up Máj strives for more than the mere offering of retail premises. It also provides a great opportunity for cultural and social events. Jan Voslář, Partner and Head of High Street Retail at Cushman & Wakefield: “Máj is an ideal place for pop-up stores. Strategically located in the heart of Prague, it offers the best conditions for an all-year influx from both...
Living in a bigger city like Prague surely has many plusses and offers loads of entertainment at anytime you wish. However, although the chaotic city life of Prague, for our runners it might not be ideal with all the buzz in the city center that one might find, the thousands of tourists and never-ending traffic and air pollution. Luckily, if you are living in Prague you have many opportunities where to escape for a nice run out of the rush but yet close to the city center. I asked my colleague Albert who has attended several Prague Marathons how and where to train in Prague. According to Albert, every person has a different style of preparation for a marathon. That depends on your type of body, the physique, time you dedicate to your training and which goals you wish to achieve. Albert’s 5 rules he follows every time he prepares for a marathon are: 1. Right nutrition: fundamental to program with a proper running program – certain foods need to be taken at different times of your schedule. You should put more protein in your diet as it helps rebuild your muscles after a long run. Few days before the marathon I always eat more carbohydrates like pasta, rice...
On April 23, 2019, Prague councillors approved the next step towards transforming Karlovo náměstí. The design proposal that won the competitive dialogue will be adjusted, a project committee will be formed, and a square management plan will be prepared. “It is a pleasure to build on the high-quality results of the competitive dialogue. Transforming Karlovo náměstí into a functional and pleasant space will not be an easy task. This is why it is very important to set up square management principles from the beginning and continue cooperating with all involved parties,” explained Petr Hlaváček, the Deputy Mayor of Prague responsible for territorial development and the land use plan. Revitalization of Karlovo náměstí, which is a listed heritage site, represents a pilot project for Prague in many ways. The proposal includes the implementation of an integrated rainwater management system. An important prerequisite for the functioning of this entire area and related measures will be effective management. The winning proposal foresees the transformation of the square as occurring in three stages. This will allow for a gradual transformation, beginning with minor modifications that can be achieved quickly, followed by major changes, which represent long-term objectives. “Some of the measures affecting vegetation will already be implemented this...
Korean Air is celebrating 15 years since the launch of regular flights between Prague and Seoul. The route between Prague and Seoul is now serviced during the winter season by the latest Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner with a capacity of 269 seats, and during the summer schedule a Boeing 747-8i with a capacity of 368 seats is used. Korean Air is one of the few airlines to offer Prague first class. The inaugural flight landed in Prague on May 15, 2004. At that time, an Airbus A330-200 with 257 seats in two travel classes was used. Over the years on the Prague route, Korean Air has also used an Airbus A330-200, Airbus A330-300, Boeing 777-200ER, Boeing 777-300ER and Boeing 747-400. In March 2014, the Airbus A380 was deployed on the line. “The direct route from Prague to Seoul is one of the most important long-haul connections from Václav Havel Airport Prague, and also the oldest. Over 15 years of operation, more than 1.3 million passengers have flown with Korean Air on this route, and over 5,600 departures and landings by this carrier have taken place in Prague,” Václav Řehoř, Chairman Board of Directors of Prague Airport, said in a press release....
