The Best Areas in Prague for Hosting Events

Žižkov

Are we all aware of the Ugly Duckling Syndrome? Well the first of our areas in Prague is very much of that ilk. Žižkov was once a very unremarkable, working class part of Prague’s tapestry. Now it has flowered in full bloom.

And what’s more, it’s distinctie. For example, the iconic TV Tower was once voted the second ugliest building in the world. Now, that’s impressive.

This area is named after Jan Žižkov, a one-eyed warrior who was taking care of business way back in the 15th-century. This Czech hero never actually lost a battle. His remains lie in the National Monument. If you feel like paying your respects, you’ll find it atop Vitkov Hill. Well worth the trek.

Both glamorous and impressive, this green oasis is in the heart of Prague. The glass ceiling is beautiful, and the decor is chic.

This space can host up to 250 for private dining. In addition, the venue also has an outdoor area for smaller meetings or just to hang out.

Smíchov

Smíchov is hunkered on the west bank of the Vltava. It’s a charming area that is pleasantly relieved of tourists. Trendy cafes and restaurants have taken over its maze of industrial chimneys and warehouses.

This hip industrial space has a touch of colour that makes it hip and cheerful. You can see this in the light fixtures, the gleaming wooden floors, the plants and the colourful chairs.

This venue comes with a bar, terrace, lounge and three meeting rooms you can turn into breakout areas. In other words, the perfect location for conferences, workshops, meetings and brainstorming sessions.

Staré Město

Staré Město – also known as the Old Town – is as idyllic as Cinderella’s ball gown. It’s a fairytale destination for millions of tourists every year.

But don’t think its Gothic architecture, Old Town Square, Jewish Quarter, and Astronomical Clock are only for travellers and holiday-goers.

It’s a place where you can conduct corporate events too! The convenience of having Prague’s best sights all around you is a pretty special bonus, though.

As for your amenities, you’ll have a projector, a magnetic whiteboard, and three niche dry-erase tables.

Nové Město

Nové Město is the baby area in Prague. Anyone who has younger siblings knows the baby of the family is the most spoiled and the most difficult. Not Nové Město though.

You’ll find Charles Square – the biggest in the city – right here, as well as the iconic Wenceslas Square. It’s here where some of the most important moments in Czech history have transpired, such as the Velvet Revolution in 1989.

If you want to satisfy your historical curiosity while you’re here, you should check out the National Museum. As well as having a whole host of cool historical artefacts, it’s got a huge taxidermy collection if you want to see something truly unique.

Champions never concede defeat, and neither do the best areas. Karlín was decimated by floods in 2002, but it fought back. Its phoenix-like recovery is beautiful.
