Stupid nature

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.

Forget everything you expect from a traditional exhibition. Here, you don’t simply observe the story – you become part of it. A drop of blood, a barely visible footprint, one tiny detail others might overlook… this is how Sherlock Holmes uncovered the truth. Now it’s your turn to put your powers of observation to the test.

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.

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.

In Metropolis Zličín, regular collaboration with SWAP Prague has started. Visitors can bring items they no longer use directly to the shopping center and exchange them for others. Swapping offers a simple way to give items we no longer use another chance while also taking home something that might be useful. The events will take place every first Saturday of the month from 10 AM to 6 PM, and entry is free.
