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.

Their distinctive sound inspired by the Philly blues sound can best be described as a cool mix of blues, rock, funky, hip hop and jazz. The Prague performance is G. Love performing solo.

CZECH REPUBLIC'S

Most Haunted Places Don’t let the Czech Republic’s dazzling bridges and charming cobblestone paths fool you—this country has a dark side. Often labeled one of the most haunted places in Europe, Prague was the site of three now-famous defenestrations, and a known meeting place for astrologers and alchemists in the 16th and 17th centuries (more on that later). The city is crawling with ghostly sights and unsolved mysteries both rumored and historically documented, if you know where to look. Thankfully, we did the work for you. Just in time for Halloween, here are six of the country's most skin-crawling haunts, from a dark magic worshipping site to a church constructed entirely of human bones. Find the full list in the pages that follow, but don’t say we didn’t warn you.

OCTOBER 2019 | THE PRAGUE VISITOR

THE THIEF'S HANGING ARM Kostel Sv. Jakuba Vetsiho SCARINESS rating:

444

Unlike many of Prague’s haunts, the scariest part about Old Town’s baroque church of St. James the Greater (or Kostel Sv. Jakuba Vetsiho) isn’t hidden. In fact, it’s in plain sight. Make an immediate right upon entrance, and you’ll come face-to-face with a 400-year-old mummified arm dangling by a meat hook. Yes, you read that right. Rumor has it that the mangled forearm belongs to a thief who tried to steal jewels from the church’s statue of the Virgin Mary. But when Mary grabbed the thief’s arm and wouldn’t let go, a group of nearby parishioners were forced to amputate. As the legend goes, the blackened arm was hung by a meat hook (allegedly, many of the parishioners also belonged to a nearby butcher’s guild), and has remained as a warning ever since. The horrors don’t end there. The church is also home to the tomb of Count Vratislav of Mitrovice, who was accidentally buried alive in the 1700s. The story goes that the Count’s wails and moans were mistaken for those of ghosts. Soon, the Count became a ghost himself.

BONE CHURCH SEDLEC OSSUARY SCARINESS rating:

44444

If you’re (somehow) not satisfied by Prague’s own haunted past, venture out to Sedlec, a suburb of Kutná Hora in the Czech Republic. Here you’ll find a chapel also known as the Bone Church—and it’s not hard to see why. The macabre structure is estimated to hold the remains of 40 thousand people, many of whom died during the Black Death of the 14th century and Hussite Wars of the early 15th century. After the abbot of the Sedlec Monastery sprinkled holy soil from Jerusalem across the Sedlec cemetery in 1278, it became one of the most desirable burial sites in Bohemia. But when the site began to overflow with bodies, the local woodcarver František Rint was tasked with arranging the tens of thousands of bones. The final product includes four candelabras, a family crest, six pyramids, and a chandelier, all made entirely of bleached, defleshed human bones. 12

THE PRAGUE VISITOR | OCTOBER 2019

GATEWAY TO HELL Houska Castle SCARINESS rating:

4444

Thought to be one of the most haunted locations in the world is the Houska Castle, isolated in the forests north of Prague. Lacking fortification, water, a kitchen, and access to trade routes, the existence of this early gothic castle defies military or political logic. It is said that Houska was built to close the “Gateway to Hell.” Apparently, demonic activity had been disturbing the region for some time and a giant bottomless pit was thought to be the source. Naturally, Bohemian officials erected a castle and chapel over it to seal the gate. This was not before they lowered prisoners into the pit as punishment, and pulled them out

to find they had aged 30 years. Houska is also the site of Nazi occult dabbling in the 1930’s. It is unclear what went on here, but several Nazi skeletons were discovered at the site many years later. In terms of ghosts, Houska has them all, ranging from a bullfrog/human creature, a headless horse, and an old woman. It is also believed that the site contains nonhuman remains of demonic beasts who escaped the pit. This isolated castle is a perfect day trip outside of Prague. Whether you believe in ghosts or not, you’re sure to get spooked by the Silence-of-the Lambsstyle pit and the eerie pointlessness of the castle.

CHARLES BRIDGE SCARINESS rating:

444

The stunning Charles Bridge may be one of Prague’s top tourist attractions today, but it has a dark past. After the 27 leaders of the anti-Habsburg revolt were executed in June of 1621, 12 of their severed heads were suspended in iron baskets from the towers at each end of the Charles Bridge. The heads remained there for over a decade, according to historical engravings of the event. That’s not the only morbid link in the bridge’s history. Czech martyr St. John of Nepomuk was thrown off the bridge in the 14th century after he refused to divulge to King Wenceslas IV the queen’s confessional secrets. But even that horror comes with a silver lining—touching the plaque commemorating the event on the bridge is said to bring good luck.

Prague Castle SCARINESS rating:

A Deal with the devil The faust house SCARINESS rating: 4 4 4

Nowadays, the Faust House of Charles Square belongs to Charles University’s medicine department. But the centuries-old building has a mysterious history tracing back to the legendary Dr. Johannes Faustus, an alchemist and black magic practitioner rumored to have disappeared in the house after making a deal with the devil. Though the structure is named for Faust— who may or may not have existed—it’s been home to a number of mysterious

and otherwise eccentric figures. The list includes famed alchemists Eduard Kelly and Ferdinand Antonin Mladota of Solopysky, along with Karl Jaenig, a 19th-century inhabitant who maintained a functional gallows and slept in a coffin. If that’s not enough to give you chills, you might also hear the area referred to as Na Morani. In medieval times, the site is said to have been used to make sacrifices to the dark goddess Morana.

444

This 9th-century castle complex located in northern Prague is haunted by more than just the Czechs’ unfulfilled expectations for the current president. In fact, it is widely considered the origin of defenestration, a fancy term for the act of ousting a leader by throwing him out of the window. Prague’s first defenestration occurred in the town hall in 1419. But the most notable case occurred at the Prague Castle in 1618, when two imperial governors and their secretary were thrown from a window, sparking the Thirty Years War. The Prague Castle has also been a hub of leadership through old Bohemian rule, the Habsburg dynasty and into modern presidencies. Walking through the grounds, visitors can feel the weight of history on their backs.

SACRIFICES IN THE PARK PetRín'S PAGAN GROVE SCARINESS rating:

4444

Ask anyone and they’ll tell you that Petřín Hill is a lovely place to take an afternoon or evening stroll, but legend has it it was once home to a pagan grove. At the center of the tree shrouded grove there was a sacrificial altar, where pagan priests are said to have fires which they sacrificed virgins to appease their gods. When Prince Boleslav came into power, he moved swiftly to destroy the pagans and their movement. It’s said that the grove was destroyed after a church consecrated to St. Lawrence was built nearby. It is said that paganism is still present on the hill at night, with mysterious and random fires which self-start throughout the park. Witnesses say that if you look into the flames, you can see the angry faces of the pagans that Boleslav had executed. The park is completely safe at night with regards to things of this world, but if you're looking for a nice stroll (and you're not afraid) we recommend a nice quite walk starting at the Nerudova entry point and winding around to the exit at the Újezd tram stop. Keep on the lookout for the mysterious fires that may pop up.

V kolkovně 1, Prague 1 www.jamesdean.cz Okay, we admit that this one’s kind of kitschy— but only in the best way. Named for the iconic rebel and actor, the bar has a classic 1950’s American diner feel turned late-night club. Vibe: Modern twist on a classic time, all ages and all sorts of feels.

Harley’s 7(

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.

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.

Karolíny Světlé 26, Prague 1 hemingwaybar.cz

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.

THE PRAGUE VISITOR | OCTOBER 2019

Signal Festival Guide From 10–13 October, Prague will become the backdrop of the visually stunning and artistically innovative Signal Festival, now in its seventh year. This year’s theme is revolution, in honor of the 30th anniversary of the Velvet Revolution. Here’s our guide to help you navigate the program’s 18 installations, which feature everything from laser shows to 3D videomapping projections to a fleet of trabants. Items marked with * have paid entry.

LESSER TOWN Intensive reflections on modernity

Kick off the night by witnessing the largest installation in the festival’s history. Czech digital artist Jakub Pešek will turn the Vltava River into a digital canvas with a dazzling laser show that will bridge the right and left banks. Smetanovo nábřeží

R•Evolution*

Signal Festival is known for its aweinspiring 3D videomapping, and this work by SKILZ studio will be no different. Festival organizers chose this creative team from Kiev for their “interesting narrative push,” according to co-founder Martin Posta.

A Spooky Night Out...

Halloween is a relatively new concept here in the Czech Republic. But, with it's dark and winding lantern lined streets, here's some adult ideas to celebrate all hallow's eve and the I.P. Pavlova station, Thrill Park offers three options: two VR experiences (one shooting zombies, the other solving a mystery to stop a psychopath) and the traditional dungeon of horrors. With nearly 700 reviews, Thrill Park has a 5.0 rating on TripAdvisor. And don’t forget to pick up that photo of yourself cowering in the corner or screaming your head off.

Prague Fear House Have you ever wanted to “experience real horror in person”, or better yet to pay a little extra so a friend can be kidnapped and unknowingly, at first, put through the same thing? That’s what you get with the Hardcore and Kidnapping Hardcore packages, higher-end offerings at Prague Fear House, which is located near the Václavské náměstí station right next to Lucerna. A regular ticket will guide you in a small group through catacombs, where the characters you fear most – attendees select those at the beginning – are waiting to terrify you. The Hardcore version makes you do this alone and even recommends a change of clothes because of the more hands-on experience. There’s also a more family-friendly experience available called the Prague Legends, which is approved for ages 6 and up (the Fear House is 15+). The 45-minute experience features actors that offer a closer look at legends like the Golem of Prague or Karbourek the Water Sprite. Address: Vodičkova 32 110 00 Nové Město Hours: 3-10 p.m. Tu-Th; 2-10 p.m. Fr; 12-10 p.m. Sa-Su; closed Monday Time: 20-45 minutes Cost: 290-1,500kc/person Phone: +420 606 065 110 Web: www.praguefearhouse.com

Thrill Park “No words are needed. Faces of our visitors say it best.” That’s the line on Thrill Park’s website above an array of photos that prove their case. Whether it’s the guy ready to punch whatever murderer jumps out at him, groups huddling together for safety or a woman formulating the first consonant of an expletive, these people clearly got the fright that they paid for. Located in between the National Museum

Address: Žitná 1691/44, 120 00 Nové Město Hours: 4-10 p.m. M-F; 2-10 p.m. Sa-Su Time: 15-30 minutes Cost: 250-535kc/person Phone: +420 774 413 313 Web: www.thrillparkprague.com

Take a Ghost & Vampire Tour

Museum of Alchemists and Magicians of Old Prague Including the bar – and it’s always important to include the bar – there are three parts to the Museum of Alchemists and Magicians of Old Prague, which is located near the Golden Way just under the stairs going down Nerudova Street. The ground floor is where you get into the student’s mindset, learning through interactive exhibits and reading stories about the old alchemists and magicians who used to practice in Prague. Then, progress up a set of 60 stairs that’s one of the oldest and most narrow spiral staircases in Prague and you’ll find the laboratory of famous alchemist Edward Kelley. Kelley, who reportedly designed the staircase himself in the 16th century, lived there for the last three years of his life, and a guide will explain all of the history that happened in, and emanated from, this attic. And don’t forget to drop into the Kellyxír Alchemical Lab Pub on your way out or in (or both) for some smoky, lab-inspired drinks. Address: Jánský vršek 8, 118 00 Malá Strana Hours: 10-8 p.m., M-Su Cost: 90-220kc/person Phone: +420 257 224 508 Web: www..muzeumpovesti.cz

You finish your beer and head to the corner of Pařížská and Staroměstské náměstí where a woman donning a black gothic costume and oil lantern is waiting for you. You are about to embark on a dark journey through Old Town, where some of Prague’s most famous legends were born. “I only ask you to follow the light,” the woman says, “and let the tour begin.” Your guide’s name is Lara, and she walks you through the narrow alleyways of the city’s historic center, recounting tales of murder that intertwine history, religion, superstition and imagination. She works for Mysterium Tours, a company which offers two-hour walking tours at night that show Prague’s macabre side. They draw on well-known local legends featuring ghosts and vampires that haunt the city’s dark corners. Have you ever wondered why Kinský Palace protrudes in Old Town Square compared to the other buildings? Listen to a story about how a count’s arrogance led to the sacrifice of an innocent. Or if you find yourself wandering down Ovocny trh between the Estates Theatre and Karolinum, you might want to look twice if a beggar wearing a cloak asks you for a few Czech koruna. Have you ever noticed that a 400-year-old mummified arm dangles from the ceiling of St. James the Greater? It is a ghostly warning to thieves. Those who are interested in touring Prague’s gothic churches, convents and medieval residences can enjoy beautiful sites while also getting a good campfire tale. These stories include a corpse bride whose wedding day ended in tragedy, a chancellor who experienced his worst nightmare, star-crossed lovers and their quest for redemption and a Jewish mythical creature that lays in wait. But don’t worry if you think all these stories end in sorrow. As Lara reminds everyone: “Time heals all wounds, even in the case of ghosts.” Mysterium Tours operate in Prague, Budapest, Krakow and Madrid. If you are interested in booking a tour, visit their website at www.mysteriumtours.com or call +420 776 101 952.

NIGHT & DAY

Thru Sun, November 10 Laterna Magika: The Memory of an Experiment @ MeetFactory

Ke Sklárně 15

The exhibition seeks to get a broad and ambiguous grasp of Laterna Magika, perceiving it as a phenomenon of many facets and ambivalences. The subtitle The Memory of an Experiment alludes to the focus on experimentation which has always created and still creates Laterna Magika, to the continuous and unceasing experiment out of which it is born; and which, paradoxically, can be the cause of its stagnation. At the same time, MeetFactory is an ideal multimedia space to be transformed into a “laboratory” of Laterna Magika to further revive the memory of experiments. Exhibition

Thru Thurs, November 14 Fotograf Festival 2019

@ Praha – various venues Fotograf Festival is the only thematic- and curator-conceived photography festival in the Czech Republic. Its aim is to promote the photographic medium and its broader integration into contemporary art and into the conscience of the general public. The discussions, at which invited experts debate each other on the current festival theme in the context of visual art, are meant not only for the expert public but for the lay public as well.
