GALLERY: New Roof Terrace to Open in Prague This Summer

Residents and visitors to Prague will soon have a new point to admire the city center.

The roof of the main building in the newly constructed Masaryčka office complex, designed by renowned architect Zaha Hadid, will open to the public in the summer of 2024.

The terrace will feature a café with a green seating area and accessible restrooms. The entrance will be completely barrier-free, ensuring everyone can enjoy the view.

While the exact opening date of the café is yet to be announced, the rooftop has already been landscaped. Trees, shrubs, and flowers have been planted, wooden paths laid, and benches installed.

A 3,000-square-meter green garden spans the roofs of both buildings in the complex. However, the public will only have access to the terrace on the main building, designated as Building ‘A’, where the café will be located. The roof of Building ‘B’ will be reserved for employees of the offices there.

Visitors to the café can look forward to enjoying snacks and drinks alongside a stunning panoramic view of the Old Town, the Vinohrady neighborhood, and Vitkov Hill.

The Masaryčka complex is part of a broader revitalization project near the Masaryk railway station. Initially, Prague 1 authorities opposed the construction of a roof terrace, concerned it might spoil the city’s panorama.

However, after consultations with experts and a poll showing 80% public support, officials approved the plan.
