People looking for relief from the heat in central Prague can use the air-conditioned ground floor of the Škoda Palace in Jungmannova Street on Thursday and Friday.
The city has opened the space to the public as temperatures across the Czech Republic are expected to rise well above 30°C. The building will be accessible from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on both days.
Visitors can sit on benches and chairs, refill their water bottles at drinking fountains and use the toilets. Drinks and snacks are also available for purchase.
The measure comes as the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute has warned of very high temperatures in parts of the country. Forecasters are advising people to drink regularly, stay out of direct sunlight where possible and avoid strenuous physical activity, particularly during the afternoon.
The Czech Republic is facing several days of intense heat, with Friday expected to be among the hottest day of the current spell. Temperatures above 35°C are possible in some areas.
Individual Prague districts are taking similar steps. Prague 3, for example, plans to make air-conditioned areas in its town hall, information centre and Žižkostel available to the public when temperatures are forecast to exceed 35°C. Visitors will be able to sit down, drink water and take a break from the heat.
The city says the cooling spaces are intended to provide temporary relief during the hottest periods, particularly for people who may struggle to cope with high temperatures.
