Last Illegal Trdelník Stand Removed After Years of Legal Battle

The last illegal trdelník stand on Na Příkopě Street has been removed.

The operation, carried out by Prague City Hall in cooperation with the Prague 1 District, saw city police overseeing the removal.

The long-standing dispute concluded after six years of litigation, as confirmed by Karolína Šnejdarová, spokesperson for Prague 1.

The unauthorized stand, located between Můstek and Náměstí Republiky, had its lease terminated in July 2018. However, the operator refused to vacate the space, prompting the city to file a lawsuit.

“This action demonstrates our commitment to maintaining order and transparency in the city center,” said Giancarlo Lamberti, chairman of the Prague 1 financial committee. He added, “Respect for rules—including rent and fee payments—is non-negotiable. We want a fair approach to public space usage.”

Prague 1 continues to implement measures to enhance the city’s aesthetic and functional appeal.

According to Šnejdarová, further removals of unauthorized stands and installations are planned. “We are actively working to address similar violations elsewhere in the city center. These actions are vital to preserving the integrity of our public spaces,” she concluded.
