The Double-Edged Legacy of Náplavka's Ascent into Mainstream
The summer of 2017 is in full swing now, which in Prague means that for a few precious months, people swap theaters and clubs for hanging outside . Few years ago, it almost felt like a reflex: as soon as June kicked in, swarms of art students, indie enthusiasts, and/or those omnipresent followers of…

The Inseparable Dance of Dejvice's Highs and Lows

The Infamous Bar Scene of Dlouhá (As Seen While Sober)

The Impeccable Reality Show of Nusle
So they say the next gentrification wave will hit the district of Nusle . Like, really, really hard. Especially the part between Folimanka park and Synkovo náměstí. Naturally, we went out to explore what’s really happening there. First, we had to map out the actual area we wanted to cover. Nusle isn…
The Colorful Hunt for Excitement Around MeetFactory
We all know that MeetFactory can guarantee some quality action . You won’t find many better venues in Prague. The problem is that it’s, like, really far from anything resembling civilization.
