    epet ARENA (Stadion Letná)

    Prague

    architecturelocal gems

    The epet ARENA, formerly known as Stadion Letná, is the home ground of Sparta Praha, one of the most historic football clubs in the Czech Republic. The stadium is located in the northern Prague district of Letná, directly next to the famous Letná Park with its sweeping views over the city centre. With a history stretching back to 1917, the stadium has witnessed countless defining moments of Czechoslovak and Czech football. Today it serves not only as Sparta Praha's home but also hosts matches of the Czech national football team. The infrastructure has been steadily modernised over the decades, while the atmosphere during derbies and international fixtures continues to deliver an electric experience.

    FK Viktoria Žižkov Stadium

    Prague

    local gems

    The FK Viktoria Žižkov stadium sits in the heart of the densely populated Prague district of Žižkov, sandwiched between apartment blocks just a few hundred meters from the main train station and the distinctive TV tower. FK Viktoria Žižkov, one of Prague's oldest football clubs, plays its home matches here — traditionally on Sundays at 10:15 am, a curious kick-off time that suits the club's independent character. The stadium is no tourist draw but a genuine neighborhood ground where local football is still lived the old way.

The Fortuna Arena delivers an electrifying atmosphere during league fixtures and European nights in the UEFA Champions League or Europa League. For anyone wanting to experience top-class Czech football up close, this is the place to be.

    Hazmburk Castle (Hasenburg)

    Prague

    naturehistoryfamily outings+2

    Hazmburk is one of the most distinctive peaks in the Bohemian Central Highlands and is regarded as the landmark of the entire region. On its summit stand the ruins of the Gothic castle of Hazmburk, built around 1300 and the ancestral seat of the Bohemian noble family Zajíc of Hasenburg. The ruin with its two prominent towers — a round keep and a rectangular residential tower — is a popular hiking destination and rewards a short ascent with a spectacular panorama across the Ohře valley and the Bohemian lowlands to distant ridges. The castle was an important lordly residence in the Middle Ages; today it invites visitors to a memorable combination of history and natural experience.

    Na příkopě (The Moat)

    Prague

    architecturelocal gemsshopping

    Na příkopě — meaning "at the moat" — is Prague's most elegant boulevard, linking Wenceslas Square with Old Town Square. Where a medieval moat once separated the Old and New Towns, today you stroll through a lively pedestrian zone lined with splendid Baroque palaces, Art Deco buildings and international flagship stores. Na příkopě is Prague's premier shopping street, but also a place of coffee house culture and fine dining. Particularly in the evening, when the historic facades are illuminated, the street develops a special atmosphere that blends city life with a historic backdrop.
