Do you already know where you’re going this weekend? If not, we have some tips for interesting experiences in Prague.

House of rest
Monday, July 4 to Sunday, July 10, Prague 8

Let yourself indulge in the Karlin ALTA Studio and their Rest House. Over seven days, they want to share a temporary refuge for the tired, and offer an oasis of lounging. The organizers say their goal is to create a space where it will be possible to cultivate a worldview that does not just see rest as a tool for doing more work.

The program will be devoted to undisturbed rest in a room full of blankets and pillows, supplemented by various practices and conversations that enable relaxation to be actively experienced and critically reflected upon. It will be open from 3 pm on weekdays, from 2 pm on weekends, and closes at 9 pm.
