In autumn, neither parents nor children have to say goodbye to the mountains. On the contrary, the Krkonošsko Mountains still offer plenty of options for shared days outdoors. Tourist destinations are open, and cable cars continue to take visitors into the mountains. The upcoming extended weekend promises an Indian summer, and the Krkonošsko Mountains in autumn colors are expecting an influx of tourists. Those heading to the mountains should therefore anticipate larger crowds and plan their routes in advance.
Autumn without excess: less can sometimes be more
Summer is slowly fading from the calendar, mornings are getting cooler, and home is once again becoming a place where we spend more time. Autumn is often the ideal time to slow down a bit, tidy up not only the closet but also our habits, and reflect on what we truly need. The eco lifestyle is no longer just about recycling, a bamboo toothbrush, and a cloth bag in your purse. It increasingly returns to a simple idea: buy less, choose better, and give the things we already have a longer life.
Museum Montanelli: ME! BEDŘICH DLOUHÝ

Young wines, goose specialties, and live music on the banks of the Vltava.

Boris Kráľ. Good evening, Audrey! A celebration of women, fashion, and craftsmanship at Fashion 2000+ Moravian Gallery.
The Moravian Gallery presents another initiative from the series of contemporary fashion exhibitions. Following the projects of Liběna Rochová, Jan Černý, and Lukáš Macháček, it introduces a retrospective exhibition titled Bonsoir, Audrey! by Slovak fashion designer Boris Kráľ. For the first time, the Fashion 2000+ hall at the Museum of Applied Arts (dedicated to the exhibition of the developing collection of contemporary Czech fashion) will be devoted to a solo show. The young creator has transformed it into a distinctive installation combining fashion design and photography. On a mechanical runway, he will showcase the most significant models from his shows, from Salon de Nuit to the latest collection presented at the Expo 58 pavilion this June in Prague. The exhibition also includes a collection of behind-the-scenes photographs from the designer's shows, taken by Lena Knappova. Boris Kráľ. Bonsoir, Audrey! runs from September 25, 2026, to January 24, 2027.
Boris Brejcha will bring a techno show to the O2 Arena.
There are evenings that transform Prague into one big heart of techno. When Boris Brejcha arrives at the O2 Arena with his characteristic Venetian mask and kicks off a several-hour show that combines a monumental light scene, precise visuals, and deeper melodic tempo, the entire hall holds one single thought: what will happen in the next moment? And it is this tension of the unknown — that moment before the drop, when no one knows whether a gentle passage or an explosion of bass will come — that drives the strongest nightlife experiences in Prague. Whether it's a sold-out concert at the O2 Arena, the Signal light festival, or a marathon at the Roxy club, Prague offers that moment's tension in dozens of forms.

Activities
You don't have to plan a vacation or pack a suitcase for a week. Sometimes, all it takes is to hop on a train, in a car, or on a bike and change the scenery for a few hours. Head out for culture in another city, explore history, take a walk through the autumn landscape, or plan your trip around an event that’s worth a few extra kilometers. Because a good trip doesn’t have to be far – you just need a reason to go. September and October are perfect for such outings. And since there are so many options, this time we’ve replaced lengthy discussions with specific inspiration. For culture, history, to a castle, on a bike, or simply somewhere you haven’t been yet. So where will it be?

55. Antique Fair of Antiques and Art – Autumn 2026
Autumn in the Krkonoš Mountains at a more relaxed pace. October on the Trail will be dedicated to seniors.
Indian summer, colorful forests, and fewer visitors than during the main holiday season. October offers an opportunity to enjoy the mountains in a more relaxed pace in the Krkonošsko region. The Tree Top Trail in the Krkonoš mountains is dedicating the entire month to seniors. They can bring one additional visitor for free with their ticket – a partner, a friend, or even a grandchild. The October event can thus be an opportunity not only for a trip into nature but also for a day spent together across generations.
The Land of Lost Stories – discover with us the vanished places of the Czech Forest
The Czech Forest is a magical borderland where life in dozens of villages, hamlets, and solitary homes fell silent after World War II. Today, their stories are recalled by overgrown paths, ruins of houses, chapels, and old fruit trees. Join us in tracing their footsteps and discover places where you can be alone for miles around. The mobile app SmartGuide will assist you in your exploration. Thanks to augmented reality, it will show you what some of these abandoned places might have looked like when people still lived there.
Housing in the spotlight: The Film and Architecture Festival presents films that inspire and warn.
Under the motto To Be or Not to Be, the 15th edition of the Film and Architecture Festival will present an extraordinary collection of films that explore housing from various angles. From Wednesday, September 30 to Monday, October 5, 2026, it will visit Prague, Brno, and more than thirty other cities in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The program will highlight different visions of residents, architects, politicians, and developers regarding the shape of cities and will introduce visionaries who have challenged established concepts of architecture and housing. It will also focus on how the environment around us influences our psyche and interpersonal relationships. "This year's theme touches each of us, so we wanted to create a program that appeals to the widest possible audience. The individual films use diverse filmmaking approaches and capture not only the final appearance of buildings but also the ideas and decisions behind their creation, as well as how people actually live in them," adds festival curator Václav Ševčík.
AUTUMN THAT TASTES LIKE WINE
Summer is slowly packing its bags, but that is definitely not a reason to tidy up yours. September and October are among the best months to head out of town. Tourist spots become a bit emptier, the landscape begins to change colors, and instead of sweltering swimming pools, it's time for grape harvests, young wine, autumn festivals, and trips where you no longer have to hide from the midday sun.
Tips for trips
The company party no longer has to mean a rented lounge, several trays of sandwiches, and a mandatory toast with colleagues. Companies today are looking for places and experiences that will genuinely make people want to come - from atmospheric restaurants and industrial spaces to wellness resorts and evenings associated with activities that are still remembered over January coffee.
