Need Advice? Lets' Chat!

This issue comes with very exciting news, as we’d like you to meet our very own innovative Facebook Chatbot, Golem. We know what it’s like when you visit a new country or city and have questions that you want answered quickly and that’s why Golem is here to help provide you with all of the information you may need whilst in Prague.

Whether it is about the weather, best places to eat and drink, events happening that night or even just for a few handy Czech phrases to help you along your way, Golem has it all. Interactive and on call for you, 24/7. All you need to do is log into Facebook, like our page and send us a message.

The legend of Golem has an ancient history with ties to Prague. As Jewish legend has it, the brainless glob was made of clay and served his owner. But for us, we see Golem as something also with Prague origins... a robot. The term robot of course was first used by Karel Čapek in his play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots), which was published in 1920.

Our handy Chatbot was developed in collaboration with Data Science Laboratory at the Faculty of Information Technology, Czech Technical University in Prague, with special thanks going to Pavel Kordík, David Příhoda and Jakub Drdák. We’d also like to thank our friends at GoOut and Geneea company for providing their Natural Language Processing API. We would like to also thank Helen Johnson who led our team of staff writers with data.

Located near the Prague Castle, we at The Visitor are more than happy to help with any extra information you may need. Check out our past issues online, or search for us on Facebook to keep up to date with everything going on in Prague. We’ll see you next month!

PRO TIP:

We suggest using your feet to get around Prague. When necessary, use our amazing and inexpensive transit system. But, If you feel the need to try a scooter or bikesharing, here’s our very biased opinion and the basics of your options...

Just Say No...

Analog and Cool

Electric push scooters just aren’t cool, unless you’re a six year old. They’re also not efficient or much fun on cobblestone streets, which leads many riders to end up where they’re not supposed to be - on the sidewalk. Then people really hate you. We avoid.

Rekola bikes aren’t electric powered, but we love them for two reasons. 1) It’s a Local company and 2) the baskets on the front are really handy for carrying stuff. They’re also the least expensive of the three.

THINGS OUR TOP PICKS OF THINGS TO DO this month

Stormzy + support: Jaykae Wednesday, March 4

Wait, Kiefer Sutherland... like Jack Bauer from 24? Yep, one in the same. The Hollywood veteran and son of film great Donald Sutherland who has starred in great films like Young Guns, Stand By Me, Flatliners (and our favorite Relecutant President in Designated Survivor) also happens to also be a pretty damn good country musician as well.

Sutherland's first album Down in a Hole (2016) won critical acclaim and he's currently touring in support of his new album Reckless and Me. Malá sportovní hala Areál Výstaviště

James Blunt Friday, March 6 We sort of feel bad for James Blunt... that whole "You're Beautiful" song was so big it exclipsed the other great stuff he's been doing.

Blunt rose to fame in 2004 with the release of his debut album Back to Bedlam, achieving worldwide fame with the singles "You're Beautiful" and "Goodbye My Lover".

But, it's really only the surface. Take a moment and check out his other stuff if you don't know it... then go check out his show at TipSport.

Tipsport Arena Za elektrárnou 1

Paul Oakenfold Saturday, March 7

You might know Paul Oakenfold is a three-time Grammy Award and two-time World Music Awards nominee and was voted the No. 1 DJ in the World twice in 1998 and 1999 by DJ Magazine...but did you know during his time as a label rep in the 80's he signed Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff? True story.

Human Locomotion March 5, March 12 at 8pm Long before the film technology was invented, photographer Eadwerad Muybridge dreamed of capturing and reproducing the motion of humans and animals. In Prague, you can dive into his life and passion for work, light and time through the performance of Laterna magika company at the New Stage of the National Theatre.

March 5 and 12 at 8 PM, New Stage of the National Theatre Národní 4, Prague 1

Bombay Bicycle Club Monday, March 16 A melodic, guitar-driven indie rock outfit from North London, Bombay Bicycle Club emerged to critic and fan buzz with their 2009 debut, I Had the Blues But I Shook Them Loose. Blending together sensual, reverbslicked post-punk sensibilities with the kind of bubbly, rhythmically adventurous quirkiness that evoked acts like Orange Juice, Bloc Party, and Vampire Weekend, Bombay Bicycle Club have remained critics' darlings.

They've also continued to grow, exploring electronic and dance influences on 2011's A Different Kind of Fix as well as world influences on 2014's So Long, See You Tomorrow.

ACTIVITIES Chances are, your kids don’t have the same appreciation for history and some of Prague’s more sophisticated attractions. So, for their benefit, we’ve prepared a few of our favorite places to let kids be kids. Enjoy!

Things to do with

KIDS

LEGO MUSEUM

Who doesn’t love Lego? Prague boasts the Lego museum with the most exhibits in the entire world. There are over 2500 models in the 20 themed parts of the museum. If you can’t manage to see all of Prague on your trip, you can at least see it in miniature form with models including Prague Castle, the National Theatre, and Charles Bridge.

Not only are the displays impressive and quite frankly, the coolest thing you’ll ever see, they also explore the history of Lego so you can bond with your kids and show them the toys of your own youth. It’s a great place to let your kids play with all the Lego they could dream of without fearing for your bare feet. Head to the central museum and mention Prague Visitor for 30% discount.

KAREL ZEMAN MUSEUM

Národní 362/31, 110 00 Staré Město www.muzeumlega.cz

Saská 3, Prague 1 +420 724 341 091

This museum lets children explore the ground-breaking work of Czech film-maker, artist, and innovator Karel Zeman through hands-on installations of his animations and puppet-based films. The playful exhibit highlights the fantastical and whimsical nature of his creations, absorbing visitors into the set pieces so you find yourself in the air on a flying machine, operating a submarine, and even trying out the technical tricks that Zeman is famous for. It’s impossible to tell where the film set ends and reality begins, perfect for fueling your child’s imagination and altering perceptions.

GALLERY OF STEEL FIGURES

Gallery of Steel Figures boasts almost 100 handmade sculptures pieced together out of all recycled metal materials. The artworks, made of gears, chains, nuts and bolts, and other scrap metals, are massive and entirely hands-on – kids can climb all over the sculptures, inside the cars, hang out with the minions and even sit on the throne from Game of Thrones. The sculptures are inspired by famous actors and musicians, cultural icons from cartoons and sci-fi films, as well as politicians, animals, and different types of vehicles. The gallery even has a life-size rendition of Bumblebee from the Transformers series. Located perfectly in the center of Prague at Wenceslas Square, this gallery gives scrap metal new life, transforming the pieces into interactive artwork that is entertaining for both children and adults.

DINOPARK PRAHA

What kind of park is features reptilian giants from the Jurassic and Triassic Era? A JURASSIC PARK! DinoPark Praha is the closest we’re getting to the real thing. Located on the roof of the Harfa Shopping Centre, DinoPark features life-size models of various dinosaurs, a paleontological playground with a dinosaur skeleton to be excavated, and a 4D cinema. The price of admission is cheap enough when paying individually, and even cheaper when entering as a family. A family ticket for two adults and two children is just 400czk (about $20) and children under three can enter for free. The park is suitable for all ages and gives a ton of historical information.

PRAGUE ZOO

A day at the zoo has been a favorite family activity for generations and Prague Zoo is definitely on to remember.

This world-famous zoo has 10km of routes to explore and has been frequented by the likes of the Jolie-Pitts (we miss you Brangelina). Just a little out of the center, the zoo is easily and cheaply accessible by public transport and offers a family ticket for 2 adults and 2 children for 600czk (that’s under $30). There are over 150 different exhibitions where you can see animals from all over the world. While the exotic animals are just out of your reach, your kids can get up close and persona with domestic animals at the ‘children’s zoo’. If you get bored of that, the zoo has a huge play area to enjoy too.

U Trojskeho Zamku 120/3 171 00, Praha 7 www.zoopraha.cz

MUSEUM OF SENSES

Museum of Senses is fun for the entire family. With mindbending exhibits like the upside down room, a bed of nails, and the spinning tunnel, you’ll want to take photos throughout your journey. The interactive exhibits play with fooling all of the senses, helping you learn how your brain works in relation to sight, sound, feeling, smell and touch.

PRAGUE HISTORY

Blackmarket Bony and Levis How Tuzex brought goods from the West to Communist Prague It’s Prague in 1986.

Levi’s button fly 501 jeans are all the rage and a must-have, even in Communist Prague.

But there was no Levis store, or really any Western retailers for that matter. Of course there's no Amazon, Alza or other internet retailers. In fact, possession of foreign currency in Czechoslovakia was officially illegal. In fact, every citizen who had any foreign currency had 15 days to surrender the Czechoslovak State Bank in exchange for crown. So, how would you get your acid-washed button fly jeans?

That’s where Tuzex came in.

Started in 1957, state-ran Tuzex began as a network of retailers across Czechoslovakia offering groceries, but they expanded quickly to a wider market from there. With Tuzex, you had to use foreign currency (or gold) to buy “Tuzex vouchers” (known as "Bony” ), which were in Czechoslovakian crowns denominations. Vouchers could be redeemed in Tuzex stores for retail items.

By 1988, at the peak of Tuzex, there were 170 stores across Czechoslovakia, offering up items ranging from clothing to cosmetics and food to cars and other long-service products (especially electronics). In addition to the predominantly

Western goods from non-socialist countries consisted of approximately one third of the range of export programs Czechoslovak producers.

Goods in Tuzex were generally regarded as luxury or more exclusive quality than products that were available in conventional stores. In particular demand were big ticket items like cars, washing machines, radios, tape recorders and other electronics otherwise unavailable. Many of the brands carried by Tuzex were exclusively licensed and couldn’t be found anywhere else.

Several products and brands available in Tuzex are forever inscribed into Czech history. Blue jeans made their first appearance in Czechoslovakia thanks to Tuzex and were one of the most soughtafter type of clothing that were available amongst the youth. Brand names like Wildcat, HIS, Levis Mustang and others flew off the Tuzex shelves in 1968.

From a control standpoint, Tuzex was also an important tool for Communist Czechoslovakia to evacuate foreign currency and gold from the population. Since Tuzex was state-owned and Czechoslovakia had extremely high import duties, the Tuzex market discouraged people from finding ways to import products from abroad and motivate them to exchange foreign currencies for coupons.

In the early years, Tuzex vouchers were only valid for 3 months. During the 1980 ‘s the period of validity extended to one year. The expiration meant it was a parallel currency with a lifespan, which

opened up it up to black-market sales.

Outside most of the “official” places for the exchange of vouchers for foreign currency (or gold) you’d usually find droves of black-market voucher sellers casually asking passerby’s if they wanted vouchers in exchange for Czech crowns (as opposed to gold or foreign currency). And while it was technically illegal, it was a normally tolerated activity.

Interestingly, vouchers weren’t the only pioneering currency Tuzex made. They also issued the first payment card in the history of Czechoslovakia. In 1988, Živnostenská bank began to issue the Tuzex card , which made it possible to make cashless payments at branches Tuzex.

At the time just before of the Velvet Revolution, Tuzex had a annual turnover of over $250 million USD. In 1988, they sold tens of thousands of TVs, VCRs, and over 10,000 personal computers.

Following the Velvet Revolution, the easy access to Westernized goods meant that Tuzex no longer had a captive market – and sales plummeted immediately. Floundering in an open market,, Tuzex was selling goods directly for Czech Crowns when they stopped selling vouchers completely on June 30, 1992. With a strong brand name, Tuzex made several attempts to re-define themselves, even as a travel product before falling into liquidation in 1998 with an on the books loss of 120 million crown.

FOOD & DRINK

From Cocina to Kuchyň Award-Winning Mexican Chef Fernando Hernandez Ruiz joins Gallery 44 for three month residency

For Gallery 44 in Old Town, artistic expression at the dining table is just as important as the art that adorns the walls of the restaurant. Here, guests can enjoy culinary delights while taking in pieces from the famous DSC art gallery, whose roster of artists includes David Černý, Jiří Georg Dokoupil, Pasta Oner, Jakub Matuška aka Masker and Milan Houser, among others.

The owner describes it as dinner literally in an art gallery,.

The space’s history prior to its life as a restaurant served as the restaurant’s inspiration.

Among the previous owners is Karl Calvi, who was the first to use the building as an art gallery in the late 1600s for his own private collection, which the restaurant is still known for today.

The owner of Gallery 44 said they wanted to create something more than a restaurant. A venue to be remembered for more than just beautiful cuisine.

Creativity extends from the

gallery walls into the kitchen. Like Medithe rotating art pieces, Gallery 44 also alternates new VIP guest chefs each quarter who serve up dishes inspired by their local region as well as sometimes giving their take on Czech classics. During their threemonth tenure, these masters craft an à la carte menu, as well as a tasting menu with wine pairing.

This month, Chef Fernando Hernandez Ruiz takes the helm at Gallery 44, as a guest chef from his critically acclaimed restaurant Moyuelo in Puebla, Mexico.

The 34 year old Mexican chef decided early on that he wanted to be in the kitchen. Ruiz tried a conventional education at the Culinary Institute (ICUM), but he left in 2005 in search of more practical knowledge. With a plan to work and gain experience in some of the world’s best restaurants, Ruiz landed in Spain working for Lasarta Berasategui Group.

In 2008, Ruiz began working at the group’s Mugaritz restaurant,

which he says changed his life.

“It’s where I learned that you can cook very differently, and that's where the first ambition of having my own business was born,” Ruiz says.

He also says Mugaritz was where he crafted the insight to use quality ingredients and combine the uniqueness of the flavors.

Ruiz then went to the US, where he works for the Hyatt Group. Like many famous chefs, Ruiz uses his hotel restaurant time to gather experience in his field, but also to travel, photograph and write, which has become a great hobby for him.

But being a world traveler soon gave way to missing home, and he returned to Puebla to open Moyuelo in 2014. The restaurant was instantly notable, gaining praise from the likes of Forbes magazine, and propelling Ruiz into the spotlight. In fact, Moyuelo was awarded as a restaurant with the “greatest future” and is consistently at the top of travel guides as a “must visit”.

Even though Ruiz has seen a lot

of the world, he said he is enjoying his time in the city and enjoying working with the team at Gallery 44 on such a unique project.

Art and food aside, the space itself is stunning. Its subterranean entrance with Romanesque features leads past an open kitchen and into the dining area. The building, one of Prague’s oldest, showcases 800 years of Czech history, complete with beautiful finishes, heavy tables and chairs, and a playful use of light.

The restaurant is literally a hidden treasure in plain sight, resting under one of Prague’s busiest tourist paths.

Located at Karlova 44, Gallery 44 is below the popular Fat Cat Pub and Brewery, where locals and tourists alike go for locally brewed craft beer.

Unlike its upstairs neighbor, Gallery 44 is not a restaurant for crowds. It only allows seating for 44 people, offering an intimate experience with close attention to detail.

Cocktail guide & wine bar guide

The best cocktail bars in Prague (like the ones listed here) get pretty busy, even during the week. It’s always good to make a reservation just to make sure you get a seat (even at the bar). The numbers correspond to the map in the center of the magazine.

Le Valmont 9)

Uhelný trh 9, Prague 1 levalmont.cz

The Michael Van Cleef Ault concept was inspired by the Miloš Forman movie of the same name, and is decorated in 18th-century French fashion with aubusson carpets, antique sofas, and massive crystal chandeliers.

Reservations: +420 224 267 266

Schody Home Bar 7^

Zámecké schody 8, Prague 1 Located right on the stairs (schody in Czech) of Prague Castle, it’s hard to find but well worth the search. Once you’re inside, tell the mixologist what flavors you like and he’ll fix up your dream cocktail.

Like sister restaurant Parlour, - it’s a cozy hidden secret and they’re trying to keep it that way.

Black Angel’s 8#

Staroměstské náměstí 29, Prague 1 blackangels.cz

Nestled in a cozy cellar just across from the Old Town astronomical clock, Black Angel’s will put you in sensory overload. With high cellar ceilings, chandeliers, and ornate decor, it’s a lot to take in. +420 224 213 807 for Reservations.

Bar and Books 8%

Mánesova 64, Prague 2 and Týnská 19, Prague 1 barandbooks.cz

Like its New York counterpart, the bar evokes the feeling of a gentleman’s library. Dim lighting, heavy woods, ornately framed paintings, and of course books (mostly for visual aesthetics). Two locations and reservations online.

L’Fleur 9$

V kolkovně 5, Prague 1 lfleur.cz L’Fleur is just a few doors down from Tretter’s. Even before our first drink, we fell in love with the 1920’s feel of the interior, complete with a Mucha-inspired stained glass window towards the back of the bar. The signature drinks all come with their own history, which the bartender is always happy to explain. If you’re feeling a bit more bubbly, try a selection from L’Fleur’s expansive champagne list. +420 734 255 665 for Reservations

Parlour 8$

Krakovská 15, Prague 1 parlour.cz Maybe Parlour doesn’t want to be found – and that’s fine with us. The tiny little bar at the top of Wenceslas Square near the National Museum has a delightful speakeasy vibe to it, though it’s quickly becoming a popular secret. If you should luck out and discover the nearly unmarked entry, inside you’ll find an intimate, dimly lit bar with old jazz and R&B records playing and amazing craft cocktails served in antique glassware. Reservations: +420 777 200 015

Crazy Daisy 9(

Václavské náměstí 4, Prague 1 crazydaisy.cz Somewhat hidden at the bottom of Wenceslas Square, this one of our favourite new hotspots. First Republic style interior, bar staff dressed the part and videomapping on the walls that pushes reality - it feels like you’re in The Great Gatsby.

Reservations: +420 273 130 486

Bugsy’s 9%

Pařížská 10, Prague 1 bugsysbar.cz

Popping up just after the Velvet Revolution. Their one constant has been attention to detail and passion for good cocktails. Bugsy’s also loves their bubbly, and boasts over 130 brands of champagne and prosecco, as well as over 90 single malt whiskeys and 100 types of rum. +420 224 810 287 for Reservations.

Tretter’s 8@

V kolkovně 3, Prague 1 tretters.cz

The Tretter family has been in the bar business for more than 90 years, so it’s no wonder this place feels like walking into a 1930’s Paris or New York cocktail bar. Soft lighting, classic decor and bartenders dressed the part in vintage cocktail jackets, the bar has become an institution. +420 224 811 165 for Reservations.

AnonymouS Bar 9# Michalská 12, Prague 1 anonymousbar.cz

It’s nearly impossible to go into the AnonymouS Bar and not smile, the bar is clever at every turn. You can tell the bartender your likes and they’ll make suggestions, or choose from the secret drink menu printed in UV ink and read with a small blacklight. Reservations are taken only until 9pm at +420 608 280 069.

Hemingway Bar 9!

Karolíny Světlé 26, Prague 1 hemingwaybar.cz

AnonymouS Bar's drinks are just as amazing as the presentation.

Chances are, if you’ve asked around, Hemingway’s Bar has already been recommended. The Old Town hotspot just made the “World’s Top 50 Bars” for the third time, and with good reason. The bar’s philosophy is that every customer must have a seat, so you won’t feel overcrowded here. Reservations are highly recommended. +420 773 974 764 for Reservations.

Cash Only Bar 8( Liliová 3, Prague 1 cashonlybar.cz

Just around the corner from its older sibling Hemingway’s, this little gem is making its own name with cocktails like Pin-Up Martini, made with passion fruit, vanilla and champagne. It’s an intimate bar, and they don’t take reservations.

There’s also no smoking and, you guessed it—the bar doesn’t take credit cards. Oh, and by the way, they do serve amazing hot dogs.

Green Devil’s Absinth Bar 7(

Týn 7, Prague 1 If you’re looking for an authentic and eclectic experience in absinth tasting, check out the Green Devil’s Absinth Bar in Old Town. The unique atmosphere accentuates the hand-curated products; ranging from quality beverages to absinth-flavored ice cream. This location is a great place to spend an evening and learn about the history and culture of absinth.

Reservations: +420 728 326 344

Hoffa

Senovážné nám. 22, Prague 1 One of the first non-smoking bars in Prague, Hoffa Bar has become a hotspot for evening drinks since it opened in 2013. Situated just

off of Wencesles Square, Hoffa Bar regularly hosts DJ’s and live music of all genres along with monthly events listed on their calendar.

Their menu boasts a wide selection of wines from all over Europe as well as cocktails, some homemade recipes as well as classics.

La Bodeguita del Medio 8)

Kaprova 5, Prague 1 labodeguitadelmedio.cz With it’s colonial-style interior straight from Old Havana, La Bodeguita is on point. In addition to great food, bar staff have perfected their craft with regional drinks, from the Cuba Libre to the Mojito. Located underneath Cohiba Atmosphere. +420 224 813 922 for Reservations

Cohiba Atmosphere 8!

Kaprova 5, Prague 1 cohibaatmosphere.cz

Referred to as the Havana of Prague, this cigar club is more than just premium cigars. Refined cocktails, and fine wine quality spirits are all served in this classy setting. The sleek design of the bar, combined with the top-notch service of the bartenders makes this the perfect spot for a quality drink. +420 224 818 373 for Reservations.

Vinograf 8(

THE ARTS

National Ballet premieres revival of Onegin Eugene Onegin, a novel in verse written by the Russian Romantic author Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin, ranks among the best-known and most popular titles of global literature. The story of Onegin, a smug, selfish and world-weary Saint Petersburg dandy, and the shy country girl Tatiana, and their ill-fated love has engrossed readers for centuries.

South African choreographer John Cranko first discovered Alexander Pushkin’s verse novel Eugene Onegin when he choreographed the dances for Tchaikovsky’s opera of the same name in 1952. He first proposed a ballet based on Pushkin’s story to the Royal Opera House board in the 1960s, but it was turned down, and he pursued the idea when he moved to Stuttgart. The Stuttgart Ballet premiered the work in 1965. The Royal Ballet did not present the work until 2001. Cranko’s choreography includes a wide range of styles, including folk, modern, ballroom and acrobatic.

Besides Cranko’s enthralling choreography, the ballet’s success has been contributed to by

Kurt-Heinz Stolze, who created the music. The score contains lesser-known Tchaikovsky pieces, without including a single note from the opera Eugene Onegin. Cranko and Stolze mainly worked with piano cycles and the symphonic fantasy Francesca da Rimini. The result is truly amazing. The revived Czech production of Cranko’s ballet will be accompanied by a live performance of the National Theatre Orchestra, conducted by Václav Zahradník.

Stolze used selections from several solo piano opuses (The Seasons, Op. 37b, Op. 19, and Op. 72), selections from the opera Cherevichki, Op. 9 (as a main musical theme for Tatiana and Onegin), the symphonic fantasy Francesca da Rimini, Op. 32, the symphonic ballad The Voyevoda, Op. 3, a duet from the incomplete opera Romeo and Juliet, and Impromptu from Two Piano Pieces, Op. 1.

Between 1965 and 1967 Cranko revised Onegin several times. His scenario originally ended with Tatiana kissing her children goodnight, which he decided lessened the drama of her final encounter

with Onegin. Cranko also deleted the prologue, in which Onegin was seen at his uncle’s deathbed. The standard version of the ballet was first performed by the Stuttgart company in October 1967.

The Czech National Ballet had the title in its repertoire between 2005 and 2012, with the company’s most distinguished soloists in the lead roles – Tereza Podařilová (whose portrayal of Tatiana earned her the Thalia Prize 2005) and Jiří Kodym (who received the Thalia Prize 2005 for his rendition of Onegin). Worthy of mention is the fact that they now work as ballet masters at the Czech National Ballet and participate in the current Onegin revival.

The production visually evokes the atmosphere of Pushkin’s novel, with the romantic impression being enhanced by the wonderful costumes designed by Elisabeth Dalton.

John Cranko’s Onegin, deemed a treasure of the international ballet legacy, has been a staple of the repertoire of the major theatres worldwide. The Czech revival received its premiere at the National Theatre in Prague on 20 February 2020.

“We want to build on principles rather than on the specific tradition. There is no reason to copy, we are not plagiátoři.

Those principles are interested in often uncomfortable topic that resonates, productions that leave a trail in the Viewer, his questions and demands on him.

We strive to live theatre as a medium, it is my opinion from the Czech stone theatres somewhat disappearing. “ -Petr ŠtědroňFor tickets, visit GoOut.cz 150 to 350 CZK Czech, Theatre, World, Desire, Drama, Comedy
