A book that captivates you even before you open it. "Kick the Can and Dance for Two Days" is a beautiful, lavish publication that transforms the history of the famous Prague club Roxy into an impressive story of Czech music culture and alternative scenes. With over 500 pages, it features hundreds of previously unpublished photographs and archival materials, memories, and interviews with dozens of personalities.
Dagmar Pecková: A voice that conquered the world. And a personality that never feared to speak the truth.
From London's Covent Garden to Berlin and New York. Dagmar Pecková is one of the Czech artists who has made a name for herself on the most prestigious opera stages in the world. However, her story is not just about music, applause, and great roles. It is also about courage, freedom, life twists, and the ability to stay true to oneself. On Monday, October 12th at 7 PM, this exceptional mezzo-soprano will be a guest on the talk show "Hovory Marka Kováře" at the Art-n-Coffee gallery and café in Prague.
PRAGUE THAT FITS IN A SUITCASE
Czech glass, designer jewellery, original artwork or a fragrance created in Prague. A souvenir needn't recall famous landmarks; it can tell the story of today's city and the people who create here. Prague's best-known motifs appear almost everywhere. Still, the city's most interesting mementoes are often found a few streets away, in design shops, small galleries and local artists' studios. Here you can discover a Prague that draws on a strong craft tradition while interpreting it in a contemporary and sometimes surprisingly playful way.
HUMBOOKFEST 2026 WILL BRING MARRISA MEYER, KASIE WEST, AND THE TOP OF THE CZECH YA SCENE TO PRAGUE.
The eleventh edition of the largest Czech book festival for young readers, HumbookFest, will kick off on October 10, 2026, at the O2 Universe in Prague. The organizers are gradually revealing the names of this year's guests, and it is already clear that fans of young adult literature can expect a colorful mix of international stars and local author discoveries. Last year, the festival was attended by over 2,000 visitors, and this year more than fifty authors and guests are expected to participate.

What to do in Prague in autumn 2026: Best events, exhibitions and festivals
Discover the best things to do in Prague in autumn 2026. From major exhibitions, concerts, and design festivals to the Signal Festival, Christmas markets, and seasonal events, explore our selection of cultural highlights worth adding to your Prague itinerary.
The cult classic Lady on the Tracks comes to life at Fidlovačka in a new guise.
The first premiere of this year's theater season at Fidlovačka will be a new adaptation of the cult film musical "The Lady on the Tracks." The new version by Lukáš Pečenka plays with the original material and develops it with love and respect for contemporary audiences: alongside the now-classic melodies, several new songs by Petr Malásek with lyrics by Václav Kopta have been added. "The Lady on the Tracks" invites viewers on a journey (by tram) through the complex yet entertaining fate of a woman.
Some like it hot. For example, borscht.
The September menu of the restaurant TADY CHUTNÁ balances between the freshness of the last summer days and the first pronounced flavors of autumn. Fresh goat cheese, Czech balsamic vinegar, borscht with pelmeni, tuna according to Jindřich Vaňha, and pears in caramel. And if the chef David Kalina had to choose just one dish? Definitely the tuna.
Culture
How many times do we pass by an interesting place without even noticing it? And how many times do we search for good food somewhere far away, even though we have it almost around the corner? This idea gave rise to the project Taste Mělnicko, which connects gastronomy with travel and shows our region in a slightly different way.

Morricone conducts Morricone. Tickets for the exceptional concert in Prague are disappearing at an astonishing rate!
There are melodies where just a few initial notes can instantly conjure an entire film in front of your eyes. The music of Ennio Morricone has long transcended the boundaries of the movie screen. On November 10, it will resonate in Bratislava at the Tipos Arena, and a day later, on November 11, it will also be performed in Prague at the O2 Universe, conducted by the person who has the closest relationship to it, the orchestra led by the famous composer’s son, Andrea Morricone. Interest in this extraordinary concert is high, and tickets are disappearing from sale at a dizzying pace. The opportunity to experience immortal film melodies live, performed by top musicians who personally collaborated with the Maestro, is becoming increasingly rare.
Museum Montanelli: ME! BEDŘICH DLOUHÝ
The Montanelli Museum will present the work of Bedřich Dlouhý, one of the most prominent figures in Czech post-war art. The paintings and objects come from the Montanelli Museum's own collection. They will provide visitors with the opportunity to engage with the work of an artist whose original artistic language combines precise painting, imagination, symbolism, and a distinctive irony.
Six businesses, six Negronis, six stickers. Holešovice Market is preparing its own Tour de Bar as part of Negroni Week.
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.
Gastronomy

International Coffee Day: The Story of the Beverage that Connects the World
Coffee is today an integral part of everyday life for millions of people. Morning espresso, cappuccino after lunch, or coffee to go on the way to work – few beverages hold such a firm place in daily life. Every year on October 1st, the world celebrates International Coffee Day, which honors the diversity, quality, and tradition of this drink. And just as the ways we prepare and drink coffee change over the years, new and unusual combinations also emerge – such as the combination of coffee with the famous Irish whiskey from the town of Tullamore, which in the form of Tullamore D.E.W. Café Honey takes on a surprisingly new dimension.
Young wines, goose specialties, and live music on the banks of the Vltava.

Traditionally, on Czech Statehood Day, Zoo Prague celebrates the anniversary of its opening – this time with the number 95!

Interested visitors can have their hairstyles done for free in the style of that era and dance to the music of a live swing band. Visitors who arrive at the celebration in themed outfits will also receive a small gift. The program will also include presentations of new attractions and the opening of an exhibition celebrating 95 years of Zoo Prague.

BEYOND PRAGUE: CASTLES AND CHATEAUX WORTH THE JOURNEY
Prague is only the beginning. Beyond the capital, the Czech Republic is filled with hilltop castles, romantic chateaux, magnificent gardens and centuries of stories waiting to be discovered. Some are less than an hour away, others invite you to turn a day trip into a longer journey through the country. From medieval fortresses and royal residences to fairy-tale palaces and hidden treasures, there is an extraordinary variety to explore. So if you have already wandered through Prague Castle and the streets of the Old Town, it might be time to see what lies beyond the city.
PALLADIUM: A stylish stop in the heart of Prague
Prague is famous for grand monuments, hidden lanes, and cafés worth returning to. But there are also places that bring several sides of the city together: the atmosphere of the historic center, contemporary style, good coffee, fashion, beauty, and great food. One of them is PALLADIUM on Republic Square, “The crowned jewel of Prague Shopping,” just a short walk from Old Town Square, the Powder Gate, and the Municipal House.
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 Day of Smart Mobility at the Exhibition Center will showcase the transportation of the future.
What will transportation look like in the coming years? On Saturday, September 19, 2026, the Prague Exhibition Grounds will host the first edition of Smart Mobility Day, which will connect modern technologies, innovations, and smart solutions for the cities of the future.
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.

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.
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.
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?
Boris Kráľ. Good evening, Audrey! A celebration of women, fashion, and craftsmanship at Fashion 2000+ Moravian Gallery.

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.
