KUTNÁ HORA: A WINTER ESCAPE FROM PRAGUE

Looking for a different side of the Czech Republic beyond Prague? In winter, Kutná Hora slows down and reveals a quieter kind of charm. From November to December, its historic centre brings together medieval architecture, Advent traditions, music, design and the scent of mulled wine. With fewer visitors than in summer, it is an ideal time to explore the city’s heritage at a more relaxed pace.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

November in Prague has a charm of its own – and one tradition well worth experiencing. On Saturday, November 14, Náplavka will come alive with St. Martin’s celebrations, bringing together young wine, roast goose, music, and good company.

Autumn in the Krkonoš Mountains at a more relaxed pace. October on the Trail will be dedicated to seniors.

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?
