After more than two years of construction work, one of the best-known squares in Prague 3 will reopen to the public in mid-June. Visitors can look forward to a free cultural programme featuring concerts, dance performances and numerous activities for the whole family.

Following more than two years of extensive redevelopment, Jiřího z Poděbrad Square in Prague 3 will officially reopen on 17 June 2026. A full-day celebration programme will mark the return of this popular public space, which is set to once again serve as an important meeting place for residents and visitors to the Czech capital.

Under the motto “Roztančíme Jiřák!” (“Let’s Get Jiřák Dancing”), the newly redesigned square will be transformed into a vibrant centre for culture, music and community gatherings. Organisers have prepared a varied programme for all age groups.
