Prague’s Reputation as Cheap Party Destination is Fading as Prices Rise

STR (Smith Travel Research) reports that in the second quarter of this year Prague moved closer to other European destinations’ average room rates as it chips away at its reputation as a cheap destination. The average room rate in Prague has risen at a faster pace than, for example, Vienna and Berlin, and this upward trend is something the capital is keen to hold on to. In June, the year-on-year increase in the average room rate in Prague overtook Berlin and Vienna, recording price growth of more than 19%. Prague’s hotel room rates are now similar to those of historically more expensive European destinations and have stormed ahead of those charged by eastern neighbours such as Bratislava and Warsaw. In June, the average daily hotel room rate in Prague was €126, compared to around €140 in Vienna and Berlin. Neighbouring destinations such as Bratislava and Warsaw were well below this figure (with Bratislava reporting €100 and Warsaw €108). In April and May, Prague even outperformed the German capital in its average room rate. “Prague finds itself on a healthy path forwards and needs to maintain this momentum. Our aim is to steadily strip Prague of its tag as a cheap...

Renovated South Moravian Railway Service in Czechia Is Now Open for Passengers

The European Commission has announced the inauguration and opening of the renovated railway service in South Moravia calling it a significant development for the region of Czechia that was made through the Cohesion Policy. In a statement issued on June 22, the same authority stated that adding 37 new electric units to the railway line would undoubtedly positively impact the congestion issues during peak hours. By introducing these new units, the capacity of the South-Moravian railway will be enhanced, allowing for a smoother and more efficient transportation experience for the about 22 million passengers who rely on this railway each year. “The new railway units will provide efficient rail services and contribute to making the European Green Deal a reality. I am happy that this project is being inaugurated today and will now concretely improve the life of Czech citizens on South Moravia,” the Commissioner for Cohesion and Reforms, Elisa Ferreira, said on Friday.

Stránov Château

Undiscovered Czech Gems: Stránov Château

The Neo-Renaissance Stránov Château is situated in the village of Jizerní Vtelno near Mladá Boleslav in Central Bohemia. However, the interiors and exteriors are currently undergoing partial reconstructions. You can take a guided tour through the château interiors or climb up the Gothic castle tower with a beautiful view of the River Jizera valley. The original castle was built between 1463 and 1468 by Jaroš of Svojovice. The period is represented by the well-preserved distinctive stone tower. At that time, the castle was the centre of a relatively large property that was in the 2nd half of the 16th century in the possession of the Berka family from Dubá. It was at that time that the original castle was completely changed – rebuilt in the Renaissance style: the renovation was completed at the beginning of the 17th century. The last stage of the renovation, in the late Renaissance style, was carried out on the order of Vilém Slavata of Chlum. The look of the chateau was then maintained until the mid 18th century, when (in 1746) the family of Příchovský from Příchovice took the assets into their possession. In 1767, Jan Příchovský had a new church built on the premises...
