Beyond Grades: How Fostra Elementary Inspires Prague’s Kids

Choosing the right school is one of the biggest decisions parents face — especially in an international city like Prague, where options vary widely. Jan Voda, principal of Fostra Elementary, a Czech-English school in Prague’s Žižkov district, explains why the choice goes beyond academics and why finding the right environment matters just as much. For Voda, the decision became personal when choosing a school for his own child. He soon realized that education isn’t only about buildings or curricula — it’s about shaping a child’s experience in a way that lasts a lifetime. At Fostra Elementary, about half of the teaching is conducted in English. But the goal isn’t simply to learn a language as a subject. “Children live English here,” says Voda. The school employs two teachers in each classroom — a native English speaker and an experienced Czech teacher — to create a bilingual environment where students feel at ease switching between languages. This approach helps both local Czech children and international students adjust comfortably and prepares them for future studies in international or IB programs. Voda emphasizes that Fostra doesn’t focus solely on grades. Instead, the school prioritizes teaching methods that engage children through project work, interdisciplinary...

Big Move: Metronome Festival Relocates to Letňany After 10 Years

After ten years at Výstaviště, Metronome Festival is preparing for a major transformation. The 2026 edition will take place from June 19 to 21 at the Letňany Airport grounds, marking a new era for one of the Czech capital’s biggest music events. Festival co-founder David Gaydečka announced that Metronome has entered a strategic partnership with Live Nation Czech Republic, one of the country’s leading concert promotion companies. The first confirmed headliner for next year’s event is Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, returning to Prague as part of their European tour. “Nick Cave is an artist who feels a deep connection with Czech audiences,” said Gaydečka. “He wanted to come back to celebrate our tenth anniversary with us. His relationship with Prague has always been special — and we couldn’t imagine a better way to start this new chapter.” According to Ondřej Pojzl of Live Nation Czech Republic, joining the Metronome team has been long in the making. “For several years, there’s been an internal wish for our Czech branch to co-organize a major festival, as is standard for Live Nation offices around the world,” Pojzl explained. “When the opportunity with Metronome came up, it made perfect sense.” Organizers say...

Guitar Legend Eric Clapton Brings 2026 European Tour to Prague

Legendary guitarist Eric Clapton announced today a series of European concerts for 2026, which will take place in Poland, the Czech Republic, and Hungary. In addition, Bushbranch/Surfdog Records announced that it will release a remastered special edition of Clapton’s cult 1989 album Journeyman, which will include four new bonus tracks from the original recording sessions. Journeyman: Deluxe Edition breathes new life into the classic album and includes three previously unreleased tracks from the original recording sessions and another bonus track. It features timeless hits such as “Pretending,” “Bad Love,” and “Running on Faith” with guest artists such as George Harrison, Phil Collins, Chaka Khan, Daryl Hall, Robert Cray, and others. Clapton himself says, “Journeyman… That’s how I want to be known; I like to think of myself as a craftsman. I think I’m constantly working to improve my craft.” Clapton’s contribution to the worldwide popularity of blues and rock is indisputable. Since 1963, he has played in many bands, most notably The Yardbirds, John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers, and the great Cream, who wrote rock, blues, and rhythm and blues history in gold. As a solo artist, Eric Clapton has released 22 studio albums, the latest of which was released...

Prague’s First Pizzeria Employing People with Disabilities Opens in Smíchov

A new pizzeria has opened in Prague’s Smíchov district with a mission that goes far beyond food. Pasta Fidli, located on Štefánikova Street, is operated by the Etincelle Group, a network of Czech social enterprises that has spent the past twenty years helping people with mental and physical disabilities enter the workforce. According to Etincelle director Jakub Knězů, Pasta Fidli is the first pizzeria in Czechia specifically designed to employ people with disabilities. The restaurant currently provides jobs to twelve staff members in supporting roles. “The space is quite large — we also have a confectionery and bakery in the back, where we prepare desserts for this pizzeria, our café, and other establishments around Prague,” Knězů said at the opening. The Etincelle Group — whose name translates from French as spark — runs a broad network of businesses: cafés and bistros under the Mezi Řádky brand, a bakery called U Dvou Rohlíků, a coffee roastery in Šumava, a farm in Ledce, and even a guesthouse named Mezi Lesy. The organization employs over 200 people with disabilities, including individuals living with mental health challenges. In 2023, Etincelle took over Pasta Fidli, a social enterprise known for producing fresh chilled pasta in...

Diana Krall Returns to Prague for One-Night Jazz Performance on October 17

Canadian jazz singer and pianist Diana Krall will return to Prague this autumn, performing at the Prague Congress Center on October 17. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster. Known for her distinctive voice and elegant piano style, Krall has built a career that bridges jazz traditions with mainstream appeal. She is a two-time Grammy Award winner and has received ten Juno Awards in her native Canada. Eight of her albums debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Jazz Albums chart, earning nine gold, three platinum, and seven multi-platinum certifications worldwide. Jazz Times described her as “one of the finest interpreters of classic jazz and pop songs,” while NPR highlighted her ability to blend sophisticated jazz sensibilities with a timeless style. Born in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Krall started piano lessons at age four and was playing jazz in local clubs by 15. Encouraged by her father, who collected recordings by Fats Waller, James P. Johnson and Earl Hines, she immersed herself in the genre’s early masters. “I think my dad had every record Fats Waller ever made,” Krall once said. Krall’s breakthrough came in 1999 with When I Look in Your Eyes, her first album for Verve Records, which spent 52 weeks...

Prague Street Shooting Leaves One Dead, Police Officer in Custody

A man was fatally shot on Friday evening in Prague’s Jarov district, prompting a large-scale police response and an internal investigation into the conduct of an off-duty officer. The shooting occurred shortly before 8 p.m. on Pod Lipami Street, where emergency responders found the victim in critical condition. Despite resuscitation efforts, the man was pronounced dead at the scene. According to police spokesman Jan Daněk, officers received an emergency call reporting a fight involving three men, followed by what the caller described as gunshots. “Upon arrival, the police found a man shot at the scene,” Daněk told Novinky.cz. The suspect, identified as a police officer who was not on duty at the time, was detained and his weapon seized. Initial findings suggest the officer may have fired a warning shot before the fatal incident. Investigators are working to determine whether he acted in self-defense, as early reports indicate he was allegedly attacked by two men during the altercation. The Prague Rescue Service dispatched two ambulances, a doctor, and a traffic inspector to the scene. “We had a man in our care with gunshot wounds to the chest. Before our arrival, resuscitation was being guided over the phone,” said Karel Kirs, a...

Dancing House Extends Robert Vano’s Final Exhibition Until April 2026

The Dancing House Gallery in Prague has announced that Robert Vano’s final retrospective exhibition will remain open until April 6, 2026, following overwhelming public interest. The exhibition, originally scheduled to end this autumn, has been expanded to include a selection of rare platinum photographs from the artist’s private archive. The exhibition offers a comprehensive view of Vano’s career spanning more than five decades. Visitors encounter his work across continents and decades, from New York in the 1980s, where his career began, through Paris and Milan, to Prague, the city he eventually made his home. One of the major additions is ten platinum prints, half of which have never been shown publicly before. The rest were last exhibited more than fifteen years ago. Platinum printing is a highly demanding and expensive technique, practiced by only a handful of photographers worldwide. Vano first encountered it in the 1960s at an exhibition of American photographer Irving Penn and began experimenting with it in the early 1990s. Platinum photographs are known for their depth and durability, retaining their quality for centuries. “I found a 150-year-old recipe for platinum printing. It said: apply a mixture of iron, salt, and platinum to paper with a brush,...

Trams Return to Prague’s Vystaviště – Cars Permanently Banned

Prague’s Holešovice district has welcomed trams back to U Výstaviště Street after months of reconstruction, marking a major shift in how the area will function in the future. While tram service has been restored ahead of schedule, cars will no longer be allowed to enter this stretch. According to the Prague Public Transit Company, six tram routes—lines 1, 6, 14, 17, 25, and night service 93—resumed operation this week. Since late January, these lines had been rerouted due to extensive construction. The renovation is part of a broader project linking citywide upgrades to roads, sidewalks, lighting, and underground utilities. At the Výstaviště stop, the tram track itself has been straightened: where the line once curved into an elongated “S,” it now runs directly through. The work is not yet finished—paving stones are still being laid, the iconic green kiosk known as Ferdinand remains closed, and construction crews are completing pedestrian areas. A key change is the introduction of a pedestrian zone under the new railway viaduct. “Cars will no longer be able to use U Výstaviště Street,” said Martin Vokuš, spokesperson for Prague 7 City Hall. “Only trams, cyclists, emergency vehicles, and access to the planetarium will remain.” City officials...

Mystery Packages Arrive in Prague: First Pop-Up Opens in October

From October 7 to 12, Prague shoppers will be able to try their luck at a new retail experiment: buying “lost packages” without knowing what’s inside. The event takes place at the Centrum Černý Most shopping center, where up to 10 tons of unclaimed parcels will be available during the six-day pop-up. The concept, already a hit in Paris, Rome, Madrid, Vienna, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Stockholm, and Berlin, now makes its Czech debut. Buyers could walk away with anything from mobile phones and designer clothes to cosmetics, home appliances, or even luxury watches. How It Works The project is run by French start-up King Colis, which specializes in giving unclaimed shipments a second life. Parcels are priced by weight in two categories: Standard – 50 CZK per 100 grams Premium – 75 CZK per 100 grams Customers get 10 minutes to select packages, which they can only open after paying at the counter. The thrill comes from the mystery: it could be a small gadget, or in rare cases, a high-value item. “It’s always unpredictable. In France, someone found a gold bar. In Italy, another person came across a used Rolex,” says Killian Denis, co-founder and CEO of King Colis. “Luck...
