The colours, flavours, and warm spirit of Thailand return to the capital on Friday, 4 September 2026, as the Royal Thai Embassy proudly hosts Thai Market 2026 at the historic Písecká brána. Organised alongside Team Thailand—comprising the Thai Trade Centre and the Tourism Authority of Thailand in Prague—this year’s flagship event is held in active cooperation with the Prague 6 Municipality. “Thai Market has become a meaningful platform to bring Thailand closer to the Czech public through friendship, creativity, and people-to-people connections,” said H.E. Mr. Pichit Boonsud, Ambassador of the Kingdom of Thailand to the Czech Republic. “This year, we are thrilled to celebrate Prague 6 Day with our Thai Market to show our true partnership with the local municipality. This event is a heartfelt cultural exchange and our way of actively engaging with the wonderful community that hosts us.” Open to all ages with free admission, the event will offer a full day of authentic Thai experiences, from traditional cuisine and refreshing drinks such as Thai iced tea to popular desserts including Mango Sticky Rice and Thai tea ice cream.

Students receive a globally recognized diploma while studying in a familiar European environment, avoiding the higher costs and challenges of relocating overseas. An International Diploma Recognized Worldwide Graduates earn the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), Canada’s official high school credential, recognized in more than 20 countries.

Few cities are as closely connected to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart as Prague. More than two centuries after Don Giovanni premiered here, visitors can still experience his music in a setting that captures the atmosphere of the era. The Mozart Dinner at the Grand Hotel Bohemia combines a live opera performance with a three-course dinner in the hotel’s spectacular Boccaccio Hall, one of Prague’s finest historic ballrooms. The concert features leading opera singers accompanied by a string quintet, performing some of Mozart’s best-known arias and duets from The Marriage of Figaro, The Magic Flute, and Don Giovanni. The latter holds a special place in Prague’s history, having premiered at the city’s Estates Theatre in 1787. The performance is designed to be more intimate than a traditional opera concert. Instead of remaining on stage throughout the evening, the singers move through the hall, performing among the audience and making guests feel part of the experience. The evening is divided into three musical performances, with each followed by a course of dinner. Rather than separating the concert from the meal, the format allows the two to complement one another, creating a relaxed pace that encourages guests to enjoy both. The menu draws on...
This article has been written by Finaram.cz, a Czech platform specializing in mortgages, home financing, and real estate advice. For many people buying property in Prague, one question comes up early in the search process: How much extra are you paying to live near a metro station? The answer is often: quite a lot. According to Valuo’s Metro Index 2026, apartment prices around Prague metro stations vary dramatically depending on location. The most expensive stations exceed CZK 250,000 per m², while the most affordable remain close to CZK 110,000 per m². How the Data Was Calculated This comparison focuses on apartments in personal ownership with a size of 65–95 m², either renovated or newly built, located within one kilometer of a Prague metro station. The analyzed period covers October to January 2026. Using the same criteria across all metro locations makes it possible to compare neighborhoods on a more like-for-like basis and identify where buyers are paying the highest — and lowest — prices for metro access. Which Metro Line Is the Most Expensive? Valuo’s data shows significant differences between Prague’s metro lines. Average apartment prices along each route stand at: Line A: CZK 171,200/m² Line B: CZK 144,400/m² Line C:...
There are places in Prague where it is easy to forget you are still in the middle of a busy city. The garden of Restaurant Červený Jelen, right in the centre, is once again one of them. In the evening light, it offers a calm summer setting with music, the smell of food from the grill, well-made drinks, and an atmosphere that feels closer to a relaxed seaside bar than a capital city courtyard. Jelení léto continues throughout the summer until 2 September, offering an after-work escape for anyone who wants to slow down for a while, meet friends, or spend an easy summer evening in a different rhythm than the rest of the city. The events take place every Wednesday from 6 pm, with selected Sunday editions also included in the programme. The special Sunday evenings are scheduled for 19 July and 23 August, both starting at 4 pm. Each week has its own programme and mood. Music is part of the concept throughout the season, with DJs and occasional live sets in cooperation with Hitrádio City. Alongside the music, the programme is built around themed evenings focused on drinks. The line-up includes Bacardi (19 July), Peach Spritz evenings...
Prague’s Asian dining scene has expanded quickly in recent years. Korean food in particular has moved from niche to mainstream, helped by the popularity of fermented dishes like kimchi and a growing appetite for meals that are more interactive than passive. Han.sik is located inside the Masaryčka building, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, is one of the newer openings pushing that shift further. The restaurant sits on the first floor, away from the busiest walkways. It is not immediately obvious on a first visit, and many people hesitate before finding the entrance. Once inside, the atmosphere changes completely. The space, designed by NEUHÄUSL HUNAL, is built around wood, open surfaces and restraint. There is an open kitchen and a sushi counter, but nothing feels decorative for its own sake. The focus remains on the tables and the food. Han.sik is, above all, a Korean barbecue restaurant. Each table has a built-in grill with integrated ventilation, removing the need for overhead chimneys. The room feels open and uncluttered, with attention kept firmly on the dining experience. The meal begins with the meat selection: Black Angus beef, Iberico pork and A5 wagyu sit among the highlights. Guests cook everything themselves at the...
For many expats in Prague, Tretter’s is far more than a cocktail bar. Over the years, the brand has grown into a collection of venues known for their atmosphere, elegance, and long-standing place in the city’s social life. Behind the brand is Michael Tretter, one of the most recognized names in Czech hospitality. During a recent conversation, he shared the story behind Tretter’s, its philosophy, and some lesser-known details that help explain its enduring popularity. “Our goal was to create places that leave a lasting impression,” Tretter says. “We wanted our venues to feel as though they had existed for decades—even when they were brand new.” That idea of timelessness has guided the company from the beginning. From interior design and music to lighting and service, every detail is carefully considered to create a sense of character and history. One of the most remarkable parts of the Tretter’s story is the American Bar inside Prague’s Municipal House. Hidden beneath the building’s marble staircase, the venue first opened in 1912 and is considered one of the oldest cocktail bars in Europe. Its original features have largely survived, including artwork by painter Mikoláš Aleš and historical design elements linked to the era...
A new open-air event inspired by Barcelona’s street culture is coming to Prague. Groovy Market Fest will take place on 1 August 2026 in Riegrovy sady, turning the park into a one-day urban market focused on food, design and music. The concept is built around a simple idea: slow down the pace of the city and create a space where people can spend time outdoors without a fixed programme or pressure to move between stages. The organisers describe it as a mix of market, social space and informal cultural gathering. The festival is divided into three main areas. Food Garden will bring street food concepts prepared on site, with an emphasis on simple recipes and fresh ingredients. Palm Street will focus on bakery products, small food producers and craft brands working with local and regional ingredients. The Design Zone will present independent designers, fashion labels and small creative studios with a focus on original production. Music will run throughout the day with DJs and a curated programme designed to support the atmosphere rather than dominate it. A signature drink prepared on site will also be part of the experience. According to co-founder Marek Novák, the goal is not to replicate...

Get your ticket here. The company has previously staged productions including Baron Münchhausen Between the Stars, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, A Clockwork Orange, and Murder on the Orient Express.

Canadian singer Garou will perform in Prague on 2 October 2026 at the Prague Congress Centre as part of his European “Best of” tour. The show marks his return to the city after a sold-out concert in 2023 and will feature a full big band arrangement combining his most popular songs with newer material. Garou remains one of the most recognisable voices in French-language music over the past two decades. Known for his rough, expressive tone and strong stage presence, he first reached international fame at the end of the 1990s and has maintained a loyal audience across Europe and Canada. Tickets are available via Ticketportal.cz Born Pierre Garand in Sherbrooke, Quebec, he grew up in Canada and studied music from an early age. Before his breakthrough, he performed in bars and small venues, building his reputation through live shows. His career changed in 1997 when he was cast by lyricist Luc Plamondon as Quasimodo in the musical Notre-Dame de Paris. The role brought him instant international attention and led directly to his solo career. His debut album Seul, released in 2000, became one of the most successful French-language records of its time. It was followed by a series of...
A taste of Vietnamese childhood and family tradition finds a new home in Prague. For the brothers behind Bamico, opening a Vietnamese sandwich shop was never simply about food. It was about identity and bringing a piece of home to the city they love. “We are two brothers, and the idea for Bamico was born out of pure exhaustion and nostalgia,” they explain. Growing up in the Czech Republic, they watched their parents dedicate their lives to entrepreneurship, often sacrificing family time in pursuit of building a better future. “We watched our parents work 16-hour days with almost no weekends,” they explain. “Bamico was born out of respect for their work ethic, but also from a desire to build something of our own.” Years later, after spending time abroad, the brothers found themselves experiencing a different kind of challenge. “When we lived abroad, we experienced a deep sense of isolation and homesickness,” they recall. Missing the flavors and atmosphere of their childhood, they began searching for a way to reconnect with their roots. The result was Bamico. At the center of Bamico’s concept is bánh mì, Vietnam’s iconic sandwich and one of the country’s most beloved street foods. For the...
Less than a year after opening its doors in Prague, Hues Kafe achieved a milestone few young independent cafés can claim. The café was selected as an official catering partner for Miss Universe 2026 in Prague, successfully serving approximately 300 guests, including around 200 adults and 100 children. For founder Sameer Shaikh, the moment felt surreal. “When we received the opportunity, we had only two days to prepare. It was a huge responsibility, but also a proud moment for our entire team.” Located in the heart of Prague, Hues Kafe has quickly built a reputation for its colorful presentation, specialty coffee, and unique Indian-European brunch concept. Unlike many cafés that rely on pre-prepared food, dishes at Hues Kafe are made fresh to order, combining flavors from different cultures while maintaining a focus on lighter, oil-free cooking. One of the café’s distinguishing features is its coffee program. Sameer personally sources and develops unique blends, including combinations of Indian, Brazilian, and Colombian beans. His goal is not only to serve quality coffee but also to introduce more people to Indian coffee, which remains relatively unknown compared to many Latin American varieties. The café itself was built entirely through personal savings accumulated during...
