The Prague Metro will host a special pajama-themed journey on Friday, November 13, as part of the Czech Republic’s annual Pajama Day, an initiative supporting families of children undergoing long-term hospital treatment.
For the first time, a dedicated carriage will be reserved for passengers travelling in their pajamas. The special train, known as the Pajama Express, will operate on Metro Line A, with participants invited to board its first carriage at any station along the route.
The journey will begin at Depo Hostivař at 9:13 a.m. and end at Nemocnice Motol, the metro station serving Motol University Hospital. Hospital representatives will welcome participants upon arrival.
The initiative aims to highlight the difficulties faced by children who spend extended periods in hospital, often separated from their usual surroundings, and the importance of having family members close by during treatment.
Several public figures and bloggers are expected to join the journey. Among them will be actress Veronika Arichteva, patron of the project.
Now in its third year, Pajama Day has attracted around 400 registered participants. Schools, businesses, public institutions, theatres, hospitals and individuals across the country have signed up for this year’s edition.
The event is organised by the Ronald McDonald House in the Czech Republic (Dům Ronalda McDonalda Česko), which provides free accommodation for families of seriously ill children at Motol Hospital.
The facility allows parents to stay close to their children throughout lengthy hospital stays, reducing the burden of travelling between the hospital and home.
Passengers wishing to take part in the Prague event do not need to register separately. They simply need to wear their pajamas and board the first carriage of the special train at any station along Line A.
