Finally Open: Prague City Museum Returns After Five-Year Renovation

After more than five years of restoration work costing nearly CZK 300 million, the Prague City Museum on Florenc will reopen to the public on Saturday, December 6. The long-awaited return will feature a weekend program filled with family activities—and admission will be free for all visitors throughout the opening weekend. The museum’s centerpiece remains the Langweil Model of Prague, an extraordinary 19th-century miniature cityscape showing over 2,000 buildings across the Old Town, Lesser Town, and Hradčany. For the first time, the model will be displayed in twelve separate cases, allowing visitors to see even the smallest architectural details up close. The exhibition now blends historical artifacts with modern technology. Large-scale projections and interactive visuals will immerse guests in the city’s past, bringing Prague’s transformation to life on walls 22 meters long and five meters high. Museum officials say the experience rivals those in major museums abroad, combining history with digital storytelling. Visitors of all ages can also enjoy a variety of creative workshops and performances. Children will have the chance to make bird feeders and traditional Christmas decorations from the 19th century, while adults can attend puppet and music performances, author readings, and guided tours. The renovated museum is...

EURO TEA EXPO: Global Tea Fair Returns to Prague in November

The EURO TEA EXPO, an international fair celebrating tea and its culture, will take place on November 15–16, 2025, at Fortuna Arena in Prague’s Vršovice district. The event will transform the Slavia Museum and the adjacent conference spaces into a hub for tea lovers from across Europe and Asia. Organized by experts in tea studies and supported by global tea associations, the fair will bring together tea traders, sommeliers, academics, and enthusiasts to explore the art and science of tea. This year’s theme focuses on Pu-erh tea and the Chinese province of Yunnan, the birthplace of this ancient fermented variety with a history spanning more than a thousand years. Chinese tea masters will lead guided tastings and lectures, offering insights into fermentation techniques, regional traditions, and the growing appreciation of Pu-erh in Western markets. Visitors will also discover the rituals and aesthetics of tea ceremonies, explore a curated exhibition of teaware and porcelain, and join workshops and presentations on tea production, brewing, and sustainable cultivation. Beyond China, the expo will showcase teas from Japan, India, and South America, demonstrating how tea connects diverse cultures and traditions.

Prague City Plans Major 150 km of New Tram Lines

Prague is preparing for a major expansion of its tram network, aiming to double the city’s current rail lines over the next decades. According to the Prague Institute of Planning and Development (IPR), the metropolitan plan envisions up to 150 kilometers of new tram lines, linking underserved neighborhoods and relieving bus congestion across the capital. Some new lines are already in construction or final planning stages. The recent completion of the ceiling slab above the metro at Muzeum station has allowed work on the tracks that will connect Wenceslas Square with Vinohrady, strengthening central city connections. Several key suburban routes are under consideration, including lines to Bohnice, connecting through Kobylisy, and Suchdol, serving the Czech University of Life Sciences. Currently, these areas rely heavily on articulated buses, which trams could gradually replace. Another high-demand route is the southern tangent, stretching along Jeremenkova Street from Podolí to Pankrác. Additional tracks could continue from Malešice to Štěrboholy, complementing the gradual reconstruction of Metro Line C. A potential extension may reach Dlouhá mílí in Prague 6, alongside the airport line currently under planning. One of the more ambitious projects involves connecting Prague 6 and 8. Previously, a cable car over the Troja Basin...

Free to Pee: Prague Plans Citywide Access to Public Toilets

The Prague City Council has approved the first step in creating a new Concept for Accessible Public Toilets. It aims to ensure that residents and visitors can find clean, accessible restrooms across the capital without barriers. The initiative is being developed by the Institute for Planning and Development (IPR Prague), following research into both local needs and solutions adopted in other major cities. “We looked into what matters most to Prague residents when it comes to public toilets and how other cities handle the issue,” said Ondřej Boháč, director of IPR Prague. “Accessibility and cleanliness came out as the top priorities.” According to urban planners, an effective public toilet network would place restrooms within roughly 300 meters of any given point. Currently, only a small portion of the city meets that standard. For now, shopping centers remain the most popular choice for restroom access, largely due to their maintenance and cleanliness. Yet, there’s a key obstacle: most of these facilities require payment. That presents difficulties not only for people in financial hardship but also for the growing number of residents who no longer carry cash. To address this, the new concept will explore different operating models — including adapting existing...

Advent Lamplighter Returning to Charles Bridge on November 30

As in previous years, you will have a chance to meet the uniformed lamp-lighter on the Charles Bridge. From November 30 to December 23, 2025, he will light the historic gas lamps by hand each evening, beginning at around 4:00 p.m. near the Old Town Bridge Tower. Nowadays, the gas lights operate automatically, and Advent is the only time of the year when the gas lamps are lit up by a lamplighter. Street lighting in Prague dates back to 1847, which is the year when the first gas lamps were lit in this city. By 1940, nearly 9,000 gas lamps cast their bluish glow on the city. Gaslighting was used in Prague till 1985, when the eight-branched cast-iron lamps on Hradčanské square and in Loretánská street were converted for electric light. However, 2002 saw the return of gaslight to the city’s most historic areas. In 2010, gas lamps were placed on the Charles Bridge, which is the only gas-lit bridge in the world. Nowadays, you can admire romantic gaslighting on the whole Royal Route, from Powder Gate Tower to Hradčanské Square. The lamplighter Jan Žákovec is vice president of the Lamplighters’ Guild and head of the Gasworks Museum. At 205 cm, he is...

This New Rooftop Sculpture in Prague Is Sparking Debate

A new sculpture installed on a residential rooftop in Prague’s Podolí district has become one of the city’s most talked-about installations. The artwork, created by Czech sculptor Jakub Flejšar, depicts the legendary horse Šemík in an intimate act with a mare — a provocative reinterpretation of one of Czechia’s most famous myths. The sculpture, titled “Šemík Happy End,” was installed on Tuesday atop a modern residential complex near the Podolské schody. It was commissioned by developers Jiří and Petra Šald, founders of the Villa Gallery project. The couple, who designed the building as a blend of architecture and public art, say they wanted to give the legend of Šemík a new, playful ending. Flejšar, known for combining industrial materials with strong emotional themes, said his aim was to offer an “alternative storyline” to the classic legend of Šemík — the heroic horse who famously saved Lord Horymír by leaping from Vyšehrad into the Vltava River. “We’re naturally drawn to happy endings, though life rarely follows that path,” Flejšar explained. “This sculpture is about hope, renewal, and reimagining how stories could end differently.” Since its installation, the metal piece has become a local sensation. Residents have been gathering beneath the building,...

Okamura’s First Act in Office: Ukrainian Flag Taken Down from Chamber of Deputies

Newly elected Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies Tomio Okamura began his term by removing the Ukrainian flag from the lower house of Parliament. The flag, which had hung above the entrance since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, was taken down on Thursday afternoon on Okamura’s direct orders. The decision marks a clear break from his predecessor Markéta Pekarová Adamová, who had placed the flag as a gesture of solidarity with Ukraine. Okamura, leader of the far-right Freedom and Direct Democracy (SPD) party, assumed office on Wednesday after securing 107 votes in a secret ballot. Okamura’s election had been assured through a coalition agreement between ANO, SPD, and Motorists, who also secured two vice-chair positions for Patrik Nacher (ANO) and Jiří Barták (Motorists). While the Ukrainian flag is gone, three others remain flying on the Parliament building — those of Czechia, the European Union, and Israel. The Israeli flag has been displayed since the October 2023 Hamas attacks that killed more than 1,200 people. Ukrainian Flag Also Taken Down from the National Museum The removal follows a similar move by the National Museum in Prague, which recently took down the Ukrainian flag after nearly three years. It had...

Reconstruction of Prague’s Kotva Department Store Delayed Until 2028

The long-planned renovation of Prague’s Kotva department store has been delayed once again. Generali Real Estate, which owns the landmark building on Náměstí Republiky, has moved the expected completion date of the reconstruction to 2028, extending the timeline by at least a year. The company initially announced that the extensive modernization, which began in February 2025, would finish by the end of 2027. “The rehabilitation of such a large and technically complex building is a long-term process that demands careful coordination and patience,” said Jana Vrábelová from Generali Real Estate. “We appreciate the cooperation of authorities, experts, and the public throughout this stage.” The next step involves selecting a main contractor for the full-scale reconstruction, which will include modernizing the interiors, expanding commercial and office space, and restoring the building’s architectural character. Plans envision six floors dedicated to retail and services, along with two floors of offices. While the façade will be replaced, Generali intends to preserve Kotva’s distinctive brutalist design, including its hexagonal concrete structures and communication towers. The building’s honeycomb-like grid, inspired by architectural structuralism, remains one of its most recognizable features. Kotva, designed by architects Věra and Vladimír Machonin, opened in 1975 as a symbol of modern...

Prague Metro Name Change Proposal Divides City Officials

A proposal to rename a future Prague Metro station has triggered a debate among city officials and historians. Deputy Mayor for Transport Zdeněk Hřib has suggested that the planned Olbrachtova station on the upcoming Metro Line D be renamed Ryšanka (a nearby street), arguing that public transport stops should not carry names linked to totalitarian or extremist figures. Hřib, a member of the Pirate Party, said the name change would reflect the city’s effort to maintain neutrality and historical sensitivity in public spaces. The original name, Olbrachtova, comes from a nearby street named after the Czech writer Ivan Olbracht, who was also a member of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia. Officials from Prague 4, where the new station is being built, along with Ladislav Kudrná, head of the Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes, have long voiced objections to the name. They argue that it indirectly celebrates a writer with ties to the communist regime. In their view, metro stations should instead honor figures connected to the anti-Nazi or anti-communist resistance, reflecting the city’s democratic values. Under current procedures, naming proposals for Prague Metro stations must first go through several levels of review. The district administration discusses the idea,...

Kateřina Vincourová’s “Skin Care” Opens at Galerie Rudolfinum

Czech artist Kateřina Vincourová will present a new exhibition at Galerie Rudolfinum, transforming the gallery’s circular layout into what she calls a “landscape of thoughts.” Known for her large-scale installations and unconventional use of everyday materials, Vincourová explores ideas of space, identity, and emotional memory through what she describes as “cages” — structures that attempt to contain the echoes of her own reflections. “I build cages and try to capture echoes of my thoughts in them,” she says. “It’s a pleasure to collaborate with curator Denisa Kujelová, a long-time friend whose support and professional insight I value deeply. I’m also happy to see Galerie Rudolfinum opening its doors to more women artists, both Czech and international, and I hope this continues.” Born in 1968, Vincourová studied at the V. I. Surikov Academy of Fine Arts in Moscow and later at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague. Her career includes residencies in Berlin and California, and she has received the Alexander Dorner Prize (1993) and the Jindřich Chalupecký Prize (1996). Over the years, she has exhibited in cities such as Washington, Brno, Warsaw, Paris, Stockholm, and Hamburg, and her works form part of major public and private collections. Her installations...

November 17: Visit the National Gallery for FREE!

Residents and tourists will have the opportunity to visit four branches of the National Gallery in Prague for free. The event will take place on Monday, 17 November, from 10:00 to 18:00, coinciding with the bank holidays – the Day of the Struggle for Freedom and Democracy. Czech students gathered on November 17, 1989, to commemorate a protest held on the same day fifty years earlier in opposition to Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia. The student demonstration rapidly turned into a protest against the oppressive communist regime, and it marked the beginning of the so-called Velvet Revolution. This special offer is applicable to all age categories, including Czech citizens and foreigners alike, as stated on the gallery’s official website. The following exhibitions will be accessible without charge: Staří Mistři I (Schwarzenberský palác) – Old Masters I (Schwarzenberg Palace) Staří Mistři II (Šternberský palác) – Old Masters II (Šternberg Palace) Středověké umění v Čechách a střední Evropa 1200-1550 (Klášter sv.
