There are always more than a hundred reasons to visit the city of hundred spires all-year round, but it cannot be denied twice as special atmosphere in spring in particular. As the magical ever-young season enters the city of Prague, it brings along an amazing colourful pallette of events, that can only be enjoyed during that time. To name just a few of them coming up this year:
- the traditional 65th Prague Spring international classical music festival that is passionately looked forward to the whole year by many music-lovers from all over the world between the 12th of May and 4th of June (and we do advise you to hurry up for that one, as there are never enough tickets for all those willing to attend and never enough words of awe to praise its noble grace of performance, enriching the world of human cultural heritage – and your own);
- for those appreciating modern music trends, Prague has two stars visiting the city 21st and 22nd of May – Bobby McFerrin and the Scorpions on the 3rd of April, the Sensation on the 29th of May and to strech out into summer a bit – Elton John’s concert on the 10th of June.
- but the best hit of all is without doubt the Easter, the spirit of which already gathers its powerful might over the city. Between the dates of the 20th of March to the 10th of April the stage on the Old Town square is going to spark with the live folklore performances, including dance and traditional music, competition in oysters opening and rabbit races (yes, you read that correctly!), abundant Easter markets with unique souvenier workshops, and for the smallest ones – children’s craft schools where they can engage their energy and creativeness into making of all sorts of traditional Easter gifts to remember. To top it off and to provide a reliable visual navigation as to where the fun is, there will be a 15 meter tall birch tree over the square of the Old Town and a 10 meter one on the Republic Square.
- the mesmerazing walks among the famous and numerous Prague gardens are just about to begin, as they will in April. And did you know that the undoubtful stars between them – the Royal baroque gardens are the best watched and walked into from the former Emperor’s residence dwelling in their heart underneath the Prague Castle?
Isn’t it nearly a plan you thought of for yourself when planning your spring holidays? The winter’s been long and cold and we encourage you to treat yourself to the revival and bliss of spring.
