Classical crossover star, singer, and composer Matteo Bocelli – the son of legendary tenor Andrea Bocelli – captivated his audience at a sold-out Prague concert this past June, promising to return to the city soon. True to his word, Matteo has announced his brand-new 2025 Summer Nights world tour, including a highly anticipated performance at O2 universum Prague on 4 June 2025. From his first major appearance on the single Fall On Me with his father, Andrea Bocelli, in 2018, to performing a reimagined version of Time to Say Goodbye with Hans Zimmer’s new composition at the 2024 Oscars, Matteo has graced some of the world’s most prestigious stages. His A Night With Matteo tour sold out globally renowned venues, including the Sydney Opera House and the Country Music Hall of Fame. Matteo has performed for dignitaries such as His Majesty King Charles III, Queen Camilla, and President Joe Biden, and even opened for music legend Lionel Richie. In 2020, he released his first single, the beautiful love song Solo, blending the elegance of a classic aria with modern pop melodies. Three years later, in the summer of 2023, he launched his long-awaited debut solo album Matteo, followed by a...
Prague’s beloved farmers’ markets are gearing up for another season. Two iconic markets—Náplavka in Prague 2 and Kubáň in Prague 10—will open their stalls on Saturday, February 1. Náplavka: Celebrating 16 Years of Community and Fresh Produce Sixteen years ago, the first-ever farmers’ market on Prague’s Rašínovo nábřeží embankment marked the start of a tradition that few initially believed would thrive. “Attempts to establish a market here had failed before. Even farmers were skeptical at first, and we had to work hard to convince them,” recalls Jiří Sedláček, chairman of the Archetyp Association, which operates the market. The persistence paid off. From its humble beginnings with just 28 vendors, Náplavka has grown into a bustling marketplace with 90 to 100 stalls offering an array of farm-fresh goods every Saturday from February to December, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. This year, the market will reopen on February 1, featuring handmade salamis, artisanal pâtés, pickled meats, fresh fish (weather permitting), pastries, spices, and a variety of other culinary delights. Kubáň: A Neighbourhood Market Farmers’ markets on Kubánské náměstí have been a staple of Prague 10 since 2010. After a few changes in management over the years, the Archetyp association returned in 2019...
Music and gastronomy have been inseparable for the culinary team at Ze Mě since their early days, blending their passion for food with the rhythm of beats. Known for hosting unconventional dining experiences, this group is now preparing a new event that promises to elevate food and music into a single unforgettable experience. Scheduled for January 31, the Frying Room will debut at the Coal Mill (Uhelný mlýn) in Libčice nad Vltavou, combining live cooking, Czech rap, and electronic music in a way never seen before. Founded by Vojtěch Nemrava, Ze Mě gained recognition for creative pop-ups featuring dishes cooked over open flames and paired with carefully curated music. Their events often include thematic decor—forest branches, fog, or walls adorned with duck wings—to create an immersive atmosphere. “We’ve been intertwining food, music, and drinks since our beginnings. Our first events revolved around cooking over fire with DJs playing drum and bass, grime, or techno. We love the connection between food and music,” says Nemrava.

The Christmas tree from Old Town Square was removed on January 9th. Its wood will be repurposed to create outdoor furniture and furnishings for social facilities, while part of it will return to its native Krompach. The festive season officially concluded on Monday, January 6th, when Prague residents saw the tree lit for the last time on Three Kings Day. Dismantling began promptly the next day, with workers carefully removing hundreds of decorations and kilometers of light chains. By Thursday, January 9th, the tree was fully disassembled and prepared for its next chapter. On Thursday morning, the tree was lifted from its anchoring shaft with heavy equipment. After its trunk was cut, the tree was taken away for further processing into carpentry wood. Prague plans to use the wood for outdoor furniture and furnishings in selected social service facilities. However, part of the tree will return to Krompach in the Lužické hory, its place of origin. For example, the tree will be used to create an insect hotel for a school garden in Krompach and products to benefit the Paprsek Children’s Center in Prague 9. Dřevo Praha will process the tree in Sibřin, where the logs will be left to dry. The...
The Titanic – The Artifact Exhibition has been open in Prague for several weeks and continues to welcome visitors into the new year. Hosted at PVA Expo Prague in Letňany, the exhibition offers visitors a detailed and carefully documented look at life aboard the Titanic, drawing on original objects, reconstructed interiors, and first-hand passenger stories. Upon arrival, each guest receives a replica boarding pass bearing the name of a real passenger who once traveled on the ship. This element accompanies visitors throughout the exhibition and frames the experience from an individual perspective. The exhibition covers more than 2,500 square meters and is divided into several galleries. Visitors move through reconstructions of first- and third-class cabins, pass the Paris Café, and walk alongside a full-scale engine room. One section allows visitors to touch a real block of ice, referencing the environmental conditions that played a role in the disaster. Hundreds of original artifacts recovered from the Atlantic Ocean are displayed across the galleries. These include personal belongings, technical components, tableware, and items used by both passengers and crew. The exhibition also features a cinema space, a visual presentation of the wreck on the seabed, a life-size outline of a lifeboat, and...

A 25-year-old man tragically died in an apparent suicide under a train at Prague’s Národní Třída metro station on Friday morning. The incident caused significant disruptions to metro service, which was suspended for two hours. Police spokesperson Eva Kropáčová confirmed that the preliminary investigation points to suicide. “The man jumped onto the tracks just before the train arrived,” she stated. Despite immediate efforts by eyewitnesses, who pressed the train’s emergency stop button, the train was unable to halt in time. Emergency services arrived promptly but found the victim trapped under the train’s structure. A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Emergency Service reported, “Unfortunately, the injuries were incompatible with life. Paramedics reached the victim but could no longer assist him.” The tragic event occurred around 10:00 am, leading to the suspension of metro service between Smíchovské nádraží and Florenc in both directions. Full operations resumed by 12:00 pm. The police are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident.

The owners of the former Intercontinental Hotel in Prague have proposed an international architectural and urban planning competition to reimagine Miloš Forman Square, located next to the iconic hotel. The competition’s approval depends on the support of Prague 1’s local government. While Prague city councilors have already endorsed the idea, the Prague 1 councilors are expected to vote on the matter on January 28. If approved, the competition will take place under the auspices of the Czech Chamber of Architects, with CCEA MOBA handling its organization. Architect Igor Kovačević from CCEA MOBA highlighted the complexities of the project, stating, “This is a unique challenge. The square is located above an underground car park and technical spaces, which must be integrated without compromising the quality of the public space.” The competition will prioritize innovative and contemporary solutions that cater to both local residents and visitors to Prague’s Old Town. History of the Square and Controversy Miloš Forman Square, named in 2018 after the renowned Czech director, has been at the center of debate. In 2019, the R2G family office—owned by entrepreneurs Oldřich Šlemr, Eduard Kučera, and Pavel Baudiš—purchased the hotel and its surroundings. Reconstruction efforts began soon after, including plans for...
Moving abroad and starting fresh in a new country requires significant courage and determination. Finding employment in a foreign environment can be challenging, but some countries are more welcoming to expats—people living outside their native country—than others. According to a survey by the InterNations platform, Denmark has emerged as the best destination for foreign workers. The Czech Republic, meanwhile, secured 15th place out of 53 countries in the ranking. The survey assessed various factors including the availability of jobs, wages, and, crucially, work-life balance—the equilibrium between professional and personal life. As reported by the Daily Mail, Denmark topped the list, with expats praising the country’s favorable conditions. “The work-life balance is excellent, and taking five to six weeks of vacation is the norm,” shared one Australian expat in the survey. A significant 84 percent of respondents expressed satisfaction with their work-life balance in Denmark, while only one percent fewer highlighted working hours as a concern. About two-thirds of those surveyed also mentioned the opportunity to work remotely on a part-time basis. However, only 60 percent of expats felt they were fairly compensated in Denmark. Saudi Arabia ranked second, with many expats reporting ample job opportunities for experienced professionals. Three-quarters of...
After more than two decades, Prague’s iconic graphics are getting a fresh update filled with creativity and modern flair. The capital is introducing playful illustrations, new pictograms, and even a custom font by renowned Czech designer Tomáš Brousil. And for special occasions? Festive gold is making its debut in the colour palette. Honouring Tradition While Embracing Change Prague’s distinctive logo, designed by Studio Najbrt in 2002, isn’t going anywhere. Instead, the city is enhancing and expanding its visual identity. “We live in a time of rapid change, and we need to adapt,” said Prague’s mayor, Bohuslav Svoboda. “This new design will significantly improve how the city communicates with its people.” Up until now, Prague relied on the Myriad Pro font – but that’s changing. The new typeface, described by city hall spokesman Vít Hofman as “a modern geometric grotesque with wider proportions and unique details,” adds a contemporary and striking edge to the city’s visual language. Subtle Tweaks, Bold Results The refresh goes beyond just fonts. A square motif has replaced the traditional round dot, bringing a cleaner, sharper look to the design. One subtle yet impactful change is the straightening of the leg in the letter R, refining the overall...
Fast food lovers, get ready – Taco Bell is making its way to Europe, and Germany will be the first to get a taste. This summer, the iconic Mexican-inspired chain will open its first branch in Berlin, bringing some serious competition to the likes of McDonald’s, Burger King, and KFC. And with plans to expand to five more countries, could the Czech Republic be next in line? Tacos Over Burgers? The buzz about Taco Bell’s European expansion first hit the news last spring, with an initial launch set for summer 2024. However, IS-Holding – the franchise rights holder – decided to push the opening to the summer of 2025. The goal? To roll out up to 150 locations across Germany by the end of 2029. This isn’t just about tacos and burritos – Taco Bell’s entry marks a shake-up in the fast-food scene. While traditional burger joints dominate, Taco Bell offers something different: bold flavours and classic Mexican favourites like burritos, quesadillas, nachos, and, of course, their signature tacos. Expansion Beyond Germany Germany isn’t the only country in Taco Bell’s sights. IS-Holding has confirmed plans to expand to five additional European markets. Although the full list hasn’t been announced, the...
