Three ingredients, over a hundred years of history, and many ways to mix them. Negroni is among the most famous classic cocktails, and its traditional recipe is based on gin, red vermouth, and bitter aperitif in equal parts. Throughout this week, visitors will also be able to try its various forms at the Holešovice Market, where six establishments will offer their unique interpretations of this classic. Additionally, visitors can embark on their own "Market Tour de Bar" and collect stickers for their Negroni passport while tasting.
One more weekend of vacation. The Krkonoš Mountains remain open to families.
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.

Prague
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.

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 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.
What if we just went out somewhere?
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?
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.
CLOCK GALLERY: More Than Just Watches
In the heart of Prague, there is a place that every lover of vintage timepieces must visit. The CLOCK GALLERY is more than just a shop. It is a vintage concept store where people from all over the world gather to find a timeless souvenir of their visit to the Czech capital. In an atmosphere steeped in nostalgia, the finest examples of 20th-century watchmaking craftsmanship come back to life. Their greatest passion is the legendary Czech watch brand PRIM. These iconic models, which have accompanied generations of our ancestors, are currently experiencing a major revival. Here, the belief is that every visitor to the city deserves to carry a piece of fine Czech history on their wrist.
