Franz Kafka certainly never expected that 100 years after his death, Gen Z would rediscover his love letters to Milena. Fascinated by the depth of his declarations of love, today’s twenty-somethings have made Kafka a new social media icon. Even today, Kafka continues to hold up a mirror to a society that has replaced physical contact with digital contact, leaving an entire generation of young people lonely. Prague – and the whole world – are commemorating Kafka this year in dozens of exhibitions, theatre performances, concerts, festivals, films, and meetups, attempting to reinterpret his work through the eyes of today. The anniversary of Kafka’s death is also an opportunity to observe how the interconnection of Czech, German, and Jewish cultures enriched him as a person. Join us in celebrating this fascinating figure of world literature who loved Prague as much as Prague loves him.
Gustav Mahler said about the relationship of Czechs to music: “Where else can you find a nation that has such a rich musical tradition as the Czechs?” We can only confirm Mahler’s words. Prague, like the entire Czech Republic, is fascinated by music. If you fly with Czech Airlines, the strains of Bedřich Smetana’s symphonic poem Vltava (The Moldau) usually greet passengers on board the plane upon landing. The centenary of his birth in 1924 started the tradition of the Year of Czech Music, and, as we do every ten years, we are commemorating Czech musical personalities once again this year. Join the people of Prague and enjoy festivals, concerts, theatres, exhibitions, walks, and art programs. Celebrate with us the fascinating world of music that needs no translation because it speaks directly to the heart.
A walk through the centre of Prague along the Vltava River offers not only breathtaking panoramas, but also the beauty hidden behind the walls of art galleries. Discover it with us! Visit any of the 6 cultural institutions along the Prague Culture Mile, and for the next 6 days the doors to all the others will open with a 20% discount. By the way, with the Prague Visitor Pass you can visit all these cultural institutions for free.
Prague has one of the best public transit systems in the world. One of its integral components is the Prague metro, which boasts another unique feature: it is a vast gallery of artwork, architectural and designer elements. The interiors of some metro stations are indeed among the most photogenic in Europe, owing primarily to the unique tile cladding on the walls, designed by the chief architect of the Prague metro, Jaroslav Otruba. The most appealing tiles are those embellishing the station tunnels on line A. The combination of selected material, proportions and colours creates a unique spatial illusion that delights aficionados of engineering and art alike.
Since the 1930s, Czechoslovak elites have been fighting to decriminalize homosexuality. Among those who made such efforts were Czech poet Jiří Karásek ze Lvovic, lawyer JUDr. František Čeřovský, clerk Jana Mattuschková, director Vladimír Vávra, and the Černý brothers, members of the Czechoslovak Legions. All of these people were behind the birth of Hlas (The Voice), a newspaper for sexual reform, in 1931. They would surely be delighted to know that the defence of human rights and freedoms and the love for diversity are still alive in Prague.
