Prague Plans to Acquire Up to 100 Electric Buses

The Prague Public Transport Authority (DPP) is set to acquire a fleet of up to 100 low-floor electric buses over the next few years. DPP has recently launched a public tender, with an estimated total value of CZK 1.5 billion, to identify the supplier for these buses. The winner of the tender is expected to be announced by the end of this year, after which the DPP will enter into a five-year framework contract. Zdeněk Hřib, Deputy Mayor of Prague Transport, emphasized the significance of this purchase. “By acquiring up to 100 new electric buses, we are not only fulfilling the Climate Plan of the Capital City of Prague, but also meeting our commitments at the national and European levels to reduce energy consumption, emissions, and noise pollution in public bus transport. If DPP would decommission an equal number of diesel buses, we would save approximately 2.4 million liters of diesel fuel per year and prevent the emission of around 6,438 tonnes of carbon dioxide in Prague.” Energy management will enable the control and adjustment of the charging speed based on the actual duration of the charging break. This will reduce the demands on the energy load of the charging...

Let’s Go Green… Table! New Bistro in Prague Offers a Purely Vegetarian Menu

A green bistro has opened in Prague with a purely vegetarian menu and hydroponic farm inside. Meatless meals can be fun, varied and really tasty. Chef Miluše Makó, who has been entrusted with the kitchen at the new Green Table bistro, proves it. There are plenty of options for lunch in the center of Prague but finding a place to eat if you don’t eat meat can get a bit complicated. There are vegetarian establishments in our capital, but their meatless offerings are often unremarkable to those that are being established abroad. Miluše Makó, the chef behind the culinary concept of the new vegetarian bistro Green Table, has a slightly different approach to meat-free food. The bistro appeals to sustainability and localism and is located in the Florentinum building as an alternative option for employees. Green Table mainly serves the people working in Florentinum, but anyone can visit. “By opening the Green Table bistro, we wanted to combine two of our long-term ambitions – sharing our philosophy of ecological transformation and taking care of our employees, to whom we want to offer something more than standard benefits. At the same time, we wanted to offer an authentic and welcoming place...

Prague is the World’s 5th Most Popular Meeting Destination

The International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA) released its rankings of congress metropolises for 2022: Vienna once again takes 1st place worldwide in the ICCA City Ranking, ahead of Lisbon and Paris. Vienna ranked 1st also in the 2021 overall ranking, which was published in 2022. The ICCA City Ranking Report examines globally held international congress events in 2022. While Vienna reclaims the top spot worldwide with 166 hosted meetings, in 2nd and 3rd place are Lisbon (144) and Paris (134) respectively, followed by Barcelona (133), Prague (129), Madrid (128), Berlin (133), Athens (109), Brussels (108) and London (106). Following the international trend that sees destinations hosting in-person meetings again, the latest ICCA Ranking Report refers to meetings & congresses that took place in-person in each meeting destination. Prague hosted nearly four thousand events and welcomed 616,000 delegates last year, marking a significant increase compared to the pandemic-affected years. However, Prague’s congress attendance still falls short of the record-breaking years of 2018 and 2019, despite notable progress on an international scale. Although the number of events held in Prague last year represented only 66% of the figure from 2019, the attendance levels were considerably higher. The lingering effects of the...

The popularity of American football in Europe is growing every year, as evidenced by the creation of the European Professional Football League (ELF). The ELF has a worldwide reach of over half a billion households who are anxiously watching to see which team will be this year’s winner. “This is a great opportunity for our players to play at the highest European level and show that we have what it takes,” says Prague Lions head coach Zach Harrod. In the first year of the league, only 8 teams participated – six from Germany and one each from Poland and Spain. But in two years, the eight teams have grown to seventeen, each vying for the European Championship title. The Prague Lions themselves will make their first appearance at the FK...

New Permanent Exhibition of Over 300 Artworks Opened at the National Gallery

The new collection covers an entire floor of the Trade Fair Palace, with 300 works purely from the collections of the National Gallery and a cross-section of domestic work spanning eight decades. The new permanent exhibition entitled 1939-2021: The End of the Black and White Era, aims to show visitors how the perception of artistic quality in the Czech Republic has changed over time. Within the collection, several types of creative expression exist side by side illustrating that art serves primarily as a testimony to the times. The exhibition begins in 1939, drawing the visitor into the wartime art of Emil Filla, Jan Kotík, Josef Čapek, Karel Kotrba, and the artists of Group 42. The collection continues through the equally dark period of totalitarianism, in which a number of artistic movements flourished despite the suppression of the creative spirit. “The title, ‘The End of the Black and White Era’ can carry many connotations. It is also a slogan summing up our approach. We try to go beyond simple evaluation criteria based on opposites. The period after 1939 is still artistically alive and has a direct influence on the present,” says Michal Novotný, Director of the Collection of Modern and Contemporary Art and curator of the new exhibition. The works on display...

Prague to Invest 29 Million Crowns in Safer Crossings

The Prague City Technology Company (THMP) has recently finished constructing the first new set of crossing lights, with a total of fifty-three planned for completion this year. Fifteen districts in the city will gradually receive these new crossing lights. According to a press release, the initial installations have been completed in Ústřední and Archimédova Street in Prague 15. The city’s decision to implement this project stems from the fact that improved illumination of crosswalks allows drivers to spot pedestrians in a timely manner. Zdeněk Hřib (Piráti), Deputy Mayor of Prague for Transport, stated, that “to navigate safely in traffic, it is crucial to see and, most importantly, be seen. By illuminating crosswalks, we enhance conditions for both pedestrians and drivers, enabling the latter to identify crossings earlier and avoid unnecessary collisions.” The enhancement of crossing lights will be carried out across most districts in the city. They will be installed at various locations, including the entrance to Letenské sady, near ČVUT, Jiřího z Poděbrad Square, and other busy streets with tram traffic, such as Francouzská, Seifertova, and Střešovická Street. The newly installed luminaires feature flat glass and directional optics to minimize nighttime light pollution. The LED light sources have an...

From the Historic Center of Disneyland: Cannabis and Absinthe Shops on Every Corner

Amongst the historical architecture and cobblestone streets, cannabis and absinthe shops dot every corner in Prague. Although a business in Prague 1 district has to go through two rounds of selection procedures, the number of cannabis shops with the distinctive green cross sign are growing. The City Council tries to favor entrepreneurs who can successfully promote their services and products, but the locals complain. Tenants are therefore obliged to comply with the City Council’s manual for the appearance and signage of establishments, set in 2020. Others are dealt with by the state authorities, preservationists, or the trade licensing office. Cannabis shops decorated with signs beckoning customers to try their products have come to dominate the historic center of Prague in recent years. But, only technical cannabis is allowed to be sold which can confuse tourists unfamiliar with Czech law. According to Government Regulation No. 463/2013 Coll. on addictive substances, technical cannabis is defined as a registered variety in which the psychoactive tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) does not exceed 1% of the dry weight of the plant. However, since even technical hemp contains a small amount of THC, vendors must not encourage their customers to consume it otherwise sellers could be accused of spreading addiction. For this reason, cannabis products are often labeled as collectibles in...
