For one weekend only, the neo-Renaissance Bellevue Palace on Prague’s Smetana Embankment will transform into a contemporary art exhibit. Fifty of the most influential Czech artists, ranked by the J&T Banka Art Index, will showcase over 200 fresh works, from Dominik Lang’s haunting whale skeleton to Kateřina Šedá’s witty National Collection of Bad Habits, Eva Koťátková’s surreal collages, and Jan Kaláb’s vibrant compositions.

Prague’s ultimate burger bash returns this weekend at the riverfront Port7 in Holešovice. Sample mouthwatering creations from over 20 premier burger makers, plus sweet treats like churros and doughnuts, and drinks ranging from Aperol Spritzes to craft kombucha.

Party through Saturday and into the night as the rest of the city sleeps at the latest Komiks event, at the Štvanice skatepark and Altenburg 1964. One of the most exciting names in the techno game, FUTURE.666, will be performing a late-afternoon set.

The Dvořák Prague International Music Festival is a highly anticipated event every fall, held across iconic venues like the Rudolfinum’s Dvořák Hall and St. Agnes’ Convent. World-class orchestras and soloists to celebrate Antonín Dvořák’s legacy and the richness of Romantic-era music.
