Prague to Launch Public Tender for Revitalization Work at Karlovo náměstí

The Prague City Council has approved a public tender for the initial phase of the long-awaited revitalization of Karlovo náměstí. As part of the second stage, the city will improve conditions for existing greenery, conduct tree root surveys, and transplant selected trees. Work is set to begin in autumn 2025, with the square’s full transformation expected to start within two years. “This preparatory phase brings us closer to the comprehensive redevelopment of Karlovo náměstí, which could begin as early as 2027. We are currently waiting for the zoning decision, but to keep the park accessible and user-friendly, the work will be divided into two phases,” said Petr Hlaváček, Deputy Mayor for Territorial and Strategic Development. “The only public restrictions will be minor noise and dust, with no major impact on accessibility. The success of this project depends not only on architectural and landscape design but also on long-term management and maintenance. That’s why it’s crucial that the city establishes a sustainable care and oversight system for the park.” Ensuring Long-Term Protection of Mature Trees “Karlovo náměstí deserves high-quality care. Protecting its mature trees is a priority, and our shared goal is to ensure they remain in excellent condition before the...

Lunch in a Restaurant? For Many Czechs, It’s Becoming a Luxury

Going out for lunch at a restaurant used to be a daily habit for many workers in Czechia. Now, it’s increasingly seen as a luxury. The average price of a restaurant lunch has climbed to 192 CZK this year—excluding drinks. Surprisingly, Prague is no longer the most expensive city for dining out. Rising Costs Are Changing Lunch Habits Rather than dining with colleagues at a nearby restaurant, more and more people are bringing food from home or opting for buffets and self-service cafeterias, which tend to be more affordable. The days when a decent meal cost just 100 CZK are long gone—today, it can be twice as much. Lunch Prices Surpass 200 CZK Finding a lunch menu for around 100 CZK is now a rarity. The only exceptions might be hot buffets at butcher shops, but even these are becoming scarce. Lunch prices in Prague first surpassed 200 CZK in November 2022, and other regions followed shortly after. In recent months, restaurant lunch prices have remained relatively stable, with slight fluctuations. “Last year, the average lunch price hovered around 190 CZK, with small spikes during the summer months,” said Jan Michelfeit from Pluxee, the company behind the survey. Price Isn’t...

Booked a Taxi, Got a ‘Fake Taxi’—Prague Tourist’s Hilarious Airport Ride

A weekend trip to Prague took an unexpected turn for an English tourist when the taxi she ordered to the airport arrived with a rather infamous license plate. Gloria, a Londoner, booked a ride to Prague Airport through Bolt at the end of January. As the driver confirmed the order, she was taken aback—the car’s plate read “FAK3 TAXI”, a clear reference to the well-known adult film series. “I showed the plate to my friend, and we just burst out laughing,” she told What’s The Jam. “At first, we thought it must be a joke and that the real plate was different.” Despite the unexpected twist, the driver, Miroslav, showed up as scheduled and completed the trip without issue. “He was very nice,” Gloria added, recalling the unusual but amusing farewell to her weekend in Prague. “I wasn’t thinking quickly enough to cancel and order another because we didn’t think it would be real. I only checked the reg when he arrived which is what most people do I think. “But in these situations especially in another country and when it’s a long ride to the airport it’s probably best to not take the risk, even if it’s a joke.”...

National Theatre Announces New Program; Ballet to See World Premiere

The National Theatre has announced its new program for the 2025/2026 season, featuring almost 80 productions, 19 of which will be world premieres. Productions will run the gamut, featuring classics as well as contemporary productions, made by Czechs and international artists. The opera program kicks off with a production of Mozart’s Idomeneo by iconoclast Spanish director Calixto Bieito, who will focus on the emotional aspect of the piece. At the same time, the program will also cater to a younger audience with the children’s opera Carousel by Václav Trojan. As in 2026, it will be 150 years since the German composer Richard Wagner opened his festival house, his works will feature prominently in the latter half of the cycle, including the opening pieces of the Ring Cycle. As for the National Theatre itself, productions will be slightly fewer as its new stage is reconstructed. In the meantime, it will focus on stories about the transformation of society, including adaptations of Ovid’s Metamorphoses and Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein. Cutting edge ballet The ballet will also focus on stories, says Filip Barankiewicz, director of the National Theatre Ballet.

Prague Public Transport Returns to Standard Timetables from February 24

After weeks of reduced service, Prague’s public transport system will resume its regular schedule on Monday, February 24. Since January 6, public transport in the capital has been operating under reduced intervals, following the so-called half-holiday timetable due to lower demand after the New Year. However, starting Monday, metro, tram, and city bus services will return to their pre-Christmas frequencies. “The intervals for metro, tram, and city bus lines will be shortened to match the schedules in place before Christmas. For example, trams will run every eight minutes during peak hours on weekdays, while key lines 9, 17, and 22 will operate every four minutes,” Drápal said. The half-holiday schedule, which is implemented every year, mainly affected peak-hour frequencies during weekdays. Now, with demand increasing again, full service is being restored. Alongside the return to regular timetables, minor adjustments will be made to select bus lines starting February 24 to enhance connections and improve coordination between services. These changes affect routes 106, 122, 139, 150, 196, and 197. Additionally, a new early-morning service will be introduced on night line 915 (Miškovice – Čakovice) to better align with the first departure of line 185. These updates aim to make Prague’s public...

Prague Ends ‘Privileged’ Parking – Only Emergency Vehicles Now Exempt

Prague is tightening its parking regulations, restricting exemptions exclusively to emergency service vehicles. The city council has introduced new rules ensuring that only officially marked emergency vehicles can park in designated zones, ending what officials describe as “privileged parking.” Deputy Mayor Zdeněk Hřib (Pirates) announced the changes, emphasizing that parking exemptions should only apply to vehicles that save lives daily. Under the new regulations, only emergency vehicles with permanent markings and warning beacons will qualify for free parking in blue zones. “This puts an end to the practice of handing out parking permits to privileged individuals and their associates,” Hřib stated. “Exemptions should be reserved for emergency vehicles that perform critical services.” The city’s transportation department is now tasked with drafting new guidelines to clarify rules for both clearly marked emergency vehicles and unmarked service vehicles, such as those used by the Security Information Service and criminal investigators. The reform follows a controversy involving Prague’s transport director, Martin Kubelka, who allegedly issued parking permits for vehicles registered to his wife. While Kubelka denied any legal wrongdoing, the scandal led Mayor Bohuslav Svoboda to seek his dismissal—a decision awaiting approval from the Ministry of Interior. However, not everyone is convinced the...

Flights Resume, Hotels Fill Up: Chinese Tourists Flock to Czechia Again

The number of Chinese visitors to the Czech Republic is surging. Tourists, businesspeople, and students are once again making their way to Prague, marking a sharp contrast to the era of former President Miloš Zeman, whose efforts to attract Chinese investment largely failed. According to CzechTourism, nearly 174,000 Chinese visitors came to the Czech Republic last year, nearly doubling from the previous year. While this remains far below the 600,000-plus visitors recorded in 2019, the upward trend is clear and is expected to continue. The revival of direct air links has played a crucial role. Last June, Hainan Airlines resumed flights between Beijing and Prague after a multi-year hiatus. More routes are expected soon, with Prague Airport’s CEO Jiří Pos identifying a planned Shanghai-Prague connection via China Eastern Airlines as a top priority. CzechTourism Targets the Chinese Market CzechTourism is actively working to attract more Chinese travelers by expanding press trips and influencer collaborations to promote the country as a desirable destination. “We are increasing our focus on China by organizing media tours and influencer visits, which are key to building interest in Czechia,” said Lukáš Pokorný, head of CzechTourism’s China office. Czechia will also have a strong presence at...

Why Not? Smíchovské Nádraží to Become… Nádraží Smíchov

The City of Prague has officially approved a new name for the planned transport hub in Prague 5. The current designation, Smíchovské Nádraží, will be replaced by Nádraží Smíchov, a name that will now be used across all navigation and information systems. “Since this hub will connect trains, the metro, city and intercity buses, and trams in one location, it’s essential to have a single, clear name to help passengers navigate easily. The name Nádraží Smíchov accurately reflects its significance while preserving the long-standing identity of Smíchov’s railway station. And now that we’ve secured the final permit, we can begin construction as early as next year! The new station will be a state-of-the-art 21st-century interchange that will not only transform Smíchov but also improve Prague’s overall transport network,” said Zdeněk Hřib, Deputy Mayor of Prague for Transport. The station is expected to handle tens of thousands of passengers daily, making it the third-busiest transport hub in Prague, following Hlavní nádraží (Main Station) and Masarykovo nádraží. “I am pleased that we finally have an official name. This is not just about transport infrastructure but also about clearly defining the city’s topography,” added Petr Hlaváček, Deputy Mayor for Territorial and Strategic Development. The...
