Traditionally, on Czech Statehood Day, Zoo Prague celebrates the anniversary of its opening – this time with the number 95! For Monday, September 28, the zoo has prepared a festive program in the presence of special guests. Costumes, historical vehicles, and stylish newsboys distributing period newspapers will transport the entire garden back to the 1930s. 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. There will be popular sea lion training sessions, as well as commented feedings and meetings with the animals that were part of the beginnings of the Prague zoo: wolves, lions, and elephants.

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.
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

Where to hold a company party this year? Tips for the best places not just in Prague.
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.
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?

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.
