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...

Heydrich Assassination Took Place 81 Years Ago

On the morning of May 27, 1942, around 10:30, two men, Jozef Gabčík and Jan Kubiš, waited in the sharp bend of a road near the Bulovka hospital in Prague 8. Bicycles parked nearby for an escape and one wearing a long coat to conceal his machine gun. These men were waiting to ambush one of the key men of the Third Reich, the butcher of Prague, Reinhard Heydrich. Operation Anthropoid Planned by British special operations and supported by the Czechoslovak government-in-exile, the preparation for Heydrich’s assassination called Operation Anthropoid involved officers Jozef Gabčík and Jan Kubiš as the major players. They were airlifted from Great Britain to Czechoslovakia along with seven other Czech soldiers in December of 1941. After scratching plans to kill Heydrich on a train and in his car in a forest, the plan was to attack him at a sharp turn in the Libeň district of Prague on his way from his home in Panenské Březany. The assassination attempt Gabčík and Kubiš were positioned at the tram stop near Bulovka Hospital where there was a bend in the road while their colleague Josef Valčík signaled with a mirror the arrival of Heydrich’s open-roofed Mercedes Benz. Gabčík...

Prague Gears Up for Summer Season and Launches Marketing Campaigns

Prague City Tourism is launching its summer marketing campaigns. The CZK 15.4 million budget is being financed for the second time from the tourist taxes paid by visitors as an accommodation charge. The Enjoy Respect Prague and Stay in Prague campaigns are primarily aimed at an international audience, individual 35+ travellers, and families with children. Domestic tourism, which has been on the rise in the capital over the last two years, will be promoted by the At Home in Prague campaign. Recent figures show that domestic tourists make up a quarter of all visitors to the capital, which was one of the most popular domestic destinations for Czechs last year. “The summer season is one of the busiest times of the year for tourism. The newly launched marketing campaigns will serve as a springboard to welcome domestic and international guests to Prague, with visitor numbers increasing all the time,” said deputy culture and tourism minister Jiří Pospíšil. “Our systematic marketing campaigns help to shape tourism in the capital in a way that we can control. The campaigns are clearly designed to motivate tourists to visit Prague who will spend more money, explore sites beyond the centre, and take a deeper interest in the city,”...

Prague Through a Middle Eastern Lens

As a half Yemeni and half Czech student, I find myself craving traditional Arabic comfort food all the time. Growing up, dishes like Hulba (حلبة), a frothed fenugreek paste made from fenugreek powder, were a household staple. In a non diverse city not particularly known for middle eastern cuisine, I’ve hunted out small treasures that bring back a taste of home. Situated in Vinohrady, Layla is an authentic Lebanese restaurant. They offer traditional food like makloubeh (مقلوبة), a rice dish served with meat and fried vegetables, and Fatteh (فتّة ), toasted flatbread with a range of toppings from chickpeas to toasted nuts. Their Knafeh (كنافة), a dessert made with spun pastry called kataifi, cheese and rose water, is something I look forward to every time. In the summer, their outdoor seating adds to the experience of such a peaceful neighborhood. Every time I go something is always offered complimentary as a thank you for supporting their business, showing the generous Arab spirit I know and love.    Habibi Cafe is a spot I love to get green tea and shisha. Their high quality, intricate design shishas and beautifully crafted silver tea pots are just like they would be in Morocco...

Prague Ranked Among Top Five Cities In Europe To Raise A Family

A new study conducted by language learning app Preply reveals the best European cities for raising children. Placing as Europe’s fifth-best city to raise children, Prague’s high score is largely down to its great leisure and lifestyle prospects. The city’s high score in this category is thanks to the combination of the country’s paid maternity leave (196 days), the eighth longest in Europe, and Prague’s wealth of leisure/sports centres (per capita), and lower cost of living (37th). The capital city also ranks in fifth place for the best ratio of museums to residents and its crime rates are among the twenty lowest (17th) among all cities analysed. Fellow Czech city of Brno also features in the study, however, doesn’t rank as highly, placing as the 49th best city in Europe to raise a family. The Czech Republic’s second-largest city suffers in comparison due to its poor choice of education attractions, parks and leisure facilities per capita. Compared to Prague’s glowing attributes in the health and safety category, Brno also falls victims to its higher crime rate and high air pollution levels. The capital of the Portuguese island Madeira, Funchal, ranks as the best city in Europe for raising a family....

Why 10,000 Police Officers Will Be Deployed in Conference League Final in Prague

There will be over 10,000 police officers drawn from all over Czech Republic to provide security during the Europa Conference League final in Prague on June 7. It follows the assault of unarmed West Ham supporters by AZ Alkmaar fans last week. The heavy police deployment is a proactive move to prevent violence in the highlight game between the Hammers and Fiorentina. UEFA has scheduled an emergency meeting in Prague on Friday. Scotland Yard, Italian, Czech and National Police Chief’s Councils of Great Britain will be in attendance. It will be a follow-up to strategies in place geared towards beefing up security as threats during such matches are imminent. The number of police and private security officers on duty in the city will outnumber the number of ticketed club supporters of West Ham and Fiorentina. UEFA gave these two clubs 4,890 legitimate tickets each. The seating capacity of West Ham’s London Stadium is roughly 66,000, whilst Fiorentina’s Stadio Artemio Franchi holds 43,147 people. Thus, there will be an estimated 25,000 fans in Prague who got tickets in the black market since the tickets were cheap. However, a steel ring will be thrown around the Fortuna Arena, and anyone without a ticket...

Swimming Season Begins in Prague: Which Natural Pools Are Safe?

As the swimming season kicks off in Prague, residents and visitors can rest assured that the outdoor swimming pools in the city are suitable for swimming, as they undergo regular monitoring by hygienists. The Prague City Hygienic Station recently released the first results of this year’s water quality measurements, shedding light on the safety of various natural swimming pools. Among the monitored swimming pools, namely Motol, Šeberák, Hostivař, and Džbán, as well as the concrete reservoir Divoká Šárka and two Prague biotopes – Lhotka and Radotín – hygienists have discovered reduced transparency in the waters of Šeberák, Džbán, and Hostivař. The water quality assessments are conducted by taking water samples once every two weeks, except for the Divoká Šárka concrete reservoir, which is sampled once a month. While the first measurement results from May 15th are already available, the sampling for Radotín and Lhotka biotopes will take place at a later date. To evaluate the water quality, experts examine various indicators, including sensory observations of waste and natural pollution, as well as conducting microbiological, biological, and chemical laboratory analyses. A five-point scale is used, with a rating of one indicating water suitable for bathing, while a rating of five signifies...

Bavarian Symphony Orchestra to Perform in Prague

The appearance of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra headed by Daniel Harding promises to be one of the highlights of the 78th edition of the Prague Spring. One of the world’s finest orchestras and its top-flight conductor will perform Gustav Mahler’s monumental Symphony No. 7, whose premiere was held in Prague in 1908. The Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra first performed at the Prague Spring in 1987 under conductor Sir Colin Davis. Known for its supreme interpretations, the ensemble was shaped in the years 1961–1979 by Czech conductor in exile Rafael Kubelík, who recorded the complete Mahler symphonies with the orchestra, an achievement celebrated to this day. After Kubelík’s departure Sir Colin Davis stood at the helm for almost ten years, and in the period 1993–2002 they were led by Lorin Maazel. From 2003 until his death in December 2019 the orchestra was headed by Mariss Jansons. From the 2022/23 season onwards the post of Chief Conductor will be assumed by Sir Simon Rattle, who is already working closely with the orchestra at this time. Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 7 was premiered in 1908 at Prague’s Exhibition Grounds on the occasion of the Diamond Jubilee of Emperor Franz Joseph I; the Czech Philharmonic was...

Metronome Prague —More than Music, it’s Now a Music & Arts Fair

The Metronome Festival has built a reputation as the veritable summer music happening in Prague by bringing internationally top-names along with the best of local talent across musical genres for four evenings and three full days in June. Beginning the 21st with two evening concerts, altogether there are 66 artists-groups on the program. Then from the 22-24th there is an accompanying program making it a Music & Arts Fair with art exhibits, installations, workshops, film and theatre productions, and special attractions. The music headliners are Jamiroquai, M83, Moderat, Zaz, Aurora, Tove Lo, and more.  Jamiroquai has played Metronome before, and so their return is due to the nostalgia factor. The leader Jay Kay was a celebrity of the acid jazz scene, and their “chill out” vibe defines the 1990s post Velvet Revolution daze. From this perspective “Return of the Space Cowboy” their second album from 1994, and certainly their most popular recording, should be the motto for these London funksters’ return.  In contrast, music for the millennials is best served by M83, a French electronic group (dream-pop, synth-pop meets alt-rock) who has been based in Los Angeles practically since their rise to stardom. M83 is the second-wave of French groups,...
