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...

Curious about Prague’s construction plans for 2025? The city is bustling with projects that will reshape its landscape. From long-overdue bridge projects to exciting zoo exhibitions and much-needed schools, some initiatives are nearing completion, while others are just beginning. Here’s a closer look at what’s happening. The Old-New Libeň Bridge: A Major Overhaul in Progress For anyone who has crossed the Libeň Bridge, its deteriorating condition has been evident for some time. The good news is that its long-awaited reconstruction began in 2024. This bridge, a vital transport link between Libeň and Karlín, isn’t just practical; it is a part of Prague’s history. The plan includes a complete overhaul of the structure and revitalization of the surrounding area. In 2025, major construction work is expected to begin, with 800 million crowns allocated to the project. Although the original completion date was set for 2025, the reconstruction will likely extend beyond this. The total cost for the bridge and surrounding improvements is estimated at 2.2 billion crowns. Dvorecký Bridge: Almost There, but Not Quite Another significant project is the Dvorecký Bridge, connecting Podolí and Smíchov. In 2024, construction reached a milestone when both banks of the Vltava River were finally connected....
Bohemians Praha 1905 is set to start a significant renovation of their iconic Ďolíček Stadium in late 2025. The project, estimated to cost between CZK 300 and CZK 350 million, aims to modernize the facility to meet contemporary standards and enhance the fan experience. Historical Significance of Ďolíček Stadium Established in 1932, Ďolíček Stadium has been the home ground for Bohemians Praha 1905 for over nine decades. Located in the Vršovice district of Prague, the stadium holds a special place in Czech football history, witnessing numerous memorable matches and serving as a cultural landmark for the local community. Details of the Renovation Plan The renovation is structured into five phases, each focusing on different stadium sections to ensure that Bohemians can continue hosting matches at Ďolíček throughout the construction period. The current seating capacity of 6,300 is slated to increase to 7,795 seats, with the potential to accommodate up to 9,500 spectators by incorporating safe standing areas in the northern and southern stands. A notable addition is constructing a new southern stand behind the goal adjacent to the tram stop, which will complete the stadium’s enclosure. The design respects the height of the existing main stand, maintaining architectural harmony. Behind...
The Ministry of the Environment has approved the construction of a railway tunnel between Dejvice and Veleslavín in Prague. The tunnel is part of the railway connection linking Prague with Václav Havel Airport and Kladno, the Railway Administration (Správa železnic, SŽ) said. The tunnel, which will run beneath Střešovice, forms part of the wider Prague–Airport–Kladno rail project, one of the country’s largest transport investments. According to SŽ, construction is scheduled to begin in 2028, following the completion of permitting procedures. Railway officials said the selected tunnel route has been assessed for years by Czech and international specialists, who identified the Střešovice alignment as the safest and most suitable among several alternatives. The route has already received political backing from both Prague City Hall and the Prague 6 district council. Earlier this year, engineers carried out geological and technical surveys along the proposed tunnel corridor. Data gathered during these works will now serve as a foundation for detailed planning and future building permits. Moving rail traffic underground will allow the existing surface corridor to be reused. Správa železnic said the space is expected to be turned into a green route for pedestrians and cyclists. The full modernization of the Prague–Kladno railway,...
