The Unexpected Traveller

Daniel Sloss - New work in progress
2025-10-13 20:00 - 22:00 (Europe/Prague) | Divadlo Hybernia, Náměstí Republiky 3/4, Nové Město, Prague, 110 00, Czech Republic
Scottish comedian Daniel Sloss returns to Prague later this year with his new show. If you like deadpan delivery and slow-burn setups in your comedy, this is the kind of show to go to. There’s still some tickets left, so act fast!

Ricky Gervais: Mortality
2025-10-04 19:00 - 21:00 | O2 Arena, Českomoravská 2345/17a, Prague 9, Prague, 190 00, Czech Republic
Often described as the most influential comedian since Chaplin, Gervais brings his latest record-breaking tour, Mortality, to Prague next month. His brand of comedy is not for everyone, but the record numbers who see him live shows that “not for everyone” is still “thousands of people”. Very few tickets left as of time of writing.

Tour of Prague's sewers
2025-09-20 09:30 - 17:00 | Old town hall, Staroměstské nám. 1/3, Staré Město, Prague, 110 00, Czech Republic
Prague will host tours of the city’s massive sewerage system for one day only! Tours are short – 20 minutes every half-hour – and you’ll find out how Prague handles the massive volumes of rainwater and sewage. Built ceniuries ago, the tour of the underground sewers (Link in Czech) promises to be impressive. You must register in advance here (link in Czech)

The Secret of Secrets
2025-09-18 19:30 - 21:00 | Lucerna’s Grand Hall, Štěpánská 61, Nové Město, Prague, 110 00, Czech Republic
Dan Brown will launch his new Robert Langdon book at Lucerna’s grand hall next month. The book is set in Prague and Netflix has already greenlit production of a series based on the book. While he will not sign books, he will talk about the book, his writing and why he chose Prague as a location. Tickets are limited but a few are still available.

F*** me, I'm French!
2025-09-15 00:00 - 23:59 | Rock Cafe, Národní 20, Praha 1, Prague, 110 00, Czech Republic
Paul Taylor brings his wit and observations about life in France to the stage. While usually a bilingual act, his show in Prague will be in English. Which is a shame for any bilingual people in the audience who love his wordplay. The shows start at 19:00 on both days.

100 treasures, 100 stories
2025-09-12 00:00 - 2025-12-31 23:59 | National Museum, Václavské nám. 68, Nové Město, Prague, 110 00, Czech Republic
Taipei’s National Palace Museum has lent 100 precious items from its collection to the Czech National museum. Between ancient scrolls and jade carvings, the curators have put together an incredible viewpoint on the Qing dynasty. I’ve missed this so far, but since the loan runs out at the end of 2025, I’d best hurry!

Robbie Williams: Live 2025
2025-09-07 20:00 - 22:00 | O2 Arena, Českomoravská 2345/17a, Prague 9, Prague, 190 00, Czech Republic
British rock legend Robbie Williams is touring again and will be in Prague this Sunday. His reputation as a showman precedes him so the demand for tickets is high. As of time of writing, there are – just about – a few tickets left, so hurry!

KURIOS – Cabinet of Curiosities
2025-09-03 00:00 - 2025-10-05 23:59 | Letna plain, Letná, Holešovice, Prague, 170 00, Czech Republic
I’m looking forward to the gravity-defying Cirque du Soleil Cabinet of Curiosities performance later this summer. They’ll be in Prague for a month and will have multiple shows on weekends. That’s a measure of their popularity but there are plenty of tickets still available in various price ranges.

Lucy and Salem
2025-08-25 00:00 - 2025-10-23 23:59 | National Museum, Václavské nám. 68, Nové Město, Prague, 110 00, Czech Republic
When discovered, the fossilised remains of Lucy changed our understanding of human evolution. We used to think that an increase in brain size led to walking upright and “being human”, but Lucy showed it’s the other way round – walking upright led to an increase in our brains. Her remains are touring Europe for the first time and they started right here in Prague. The exhibition lasts till 23rd October and the museum is open till 8pm every day. Make sure you book in advance because the queues are long and they only let in a small number of people at a time.

Castle and chateau night
2025-08-23 19:00 - 23:59 | Prague
For those of you who haven’t abandoned the city for a summer’s break, there’s a treat coming up on Saturday. Dozens of Czech castles and chateaus will be open after dark with events, tours and music. Things vary depending on the location but the wide list of participating venues (link in CZ) means you’ve got plenty of choice. Check the listings for your chosen destination for more information.

Feminist walking tours of Prague
2025-08-23 10:30 - 12:30 | Prague
I’ve taken many delightful walking tours of Prague. I’m always interested in how tour guides position themselves in what is admittedly a crowded market. French-born resident Avril Huck has chosen a feminist perspective on Czech (and Prague) history as her USP. Her limited tours are listed online so pick your favourite time slot and put on your walking shoes.

The Julian Hesse Quartet
2025-08-21 21:00 - 23:00 | Jazz Dock, Janáčkovo nábřeží 2, Smíchov, Prague, 150 00, Czech Republic
Jazz Dock’s year-long “Jazz from four continents” is a real commitment to showcasing live jazz from all over the world. The German Julian Hesse quartet mixes musicians from Europe and the US, as well as all the musical influences that implies. They’ll deliver jazz on the waterfront in Prague next month.

French Market
2025-07-10 00:00 - 2025-07-13 23:59 | Kampa Island, Malá Strana, Prague, 118 00, Czech Republic
My favourite annual food festival is back! Scheduled around Bastille day, the community of French food importers get together to offer food, wine and cheese accompanied by music and events. It’s open from 10:00 to 21:00 every day (20:00 on Sunday when the wine runs out!)

Il Divo (XX anniversary tour)
2025-06-26 20:00 - 22:00 | O2 Arena, Českomoravská 2345/17a, Prague 9, Prague, 190 00, Czech Republic
They’re a quartet who have redefined what classical music should sound, or look, like. It’s been some time since they last were in Prague, and there’s tickets left in almost every price range.

2025-06-21 00:00 - 2025-06-22 23:59 | Divadlo Hybernia, Náměstí Republiky 3/4, Nové Město, Prague, 110 00, Czech Republic
Hollywood legend John Malkovich takes to the theatre in Prague this weekend in an enigmatic work at Divadlo Hybernia. Tickets are already sold out for Saturday, but maybe you’ll be lucky for Sunday evening.

Kool & the Gang
2025-06-18 20:00 - 23:00 | O2 Arena, Českomoravská 2345/17a, Prague 9, Prague, 190 00, Czech Republic
R&B, soul and funk will hit Bohemia when Kool & the Gang perform at the O2 this month. Their songs are familiar toe-tapping favourites, so expect a packed audience.

Night of the Museums
2025-06-14 19:00 - 23:30 | Prague
Prague’s annual Night of the Museums has returned after a hiatus. Sixty museums, art galleries and cultural locations will welcome visitors next Saturday night. There’s a long programme, and not everything may be to your liking. I have my eye on Vyšehrad underground which is not normally open to the public.

Celtic Legends
2025-06-03 19:00 - 21:00 | Prague Congress Centre, 5. května 1640/65, Nusle, Prague, 140 21, Czech Republic
An evening of Irish dancing jigs its way to Prague (and other Czech cities). It’s not the sort of thing we see regularly but perhaps it is possible to have too much of a good thing, isn’t it?

Ludovico Einaudi
2025-05-28 00:00 - 2025-05-29 23:59 | O2 Arena, Českomoravská 2345/17a, Prague 9, Prague, 190 00, Czech Republic
Italian composer and musician Ludovico Einaudi will make audiences swoon later this month as he hosts two concerts of his own music. Concerts start at 8pm and tickets are hard to find, but some will be released a few days’ before so mark your calendars!

Underground tour of Metro D line
2025-05-17 00:00 - 2025-05-19 23:59 | Prague
It’s not every day you get to see how a city changes, is it? This weekend Prague’s transport company is offering you the chance to dive deep into the new metro D line and walk through the tunnels they’re excavating under our feet. You must register in advance for this opportunity of a lifetime!

The entrance is a construction site on the corner of Antala Staška and Na Strži streets. Make sure to wear appropriate footwear, and remember that it will be cold underground.
