Praguers can expect dance and music parades with the flags of the EU member states and Prague, which will take place on June 24, 25, 30 and 1. The route will lead from Hradčanské náměstí over Charles Bridge to Staroměstské náměstí.

The Expedition Behind the Lion’s Heart is then ready for 30 June and 1 July, when a monumental puppet of a Czech lion and “flying” falcons will appear on Mariánské and Staroměstské náměstí.

“Prague, the heart of Europe is a multi-genre happening intended not only for Praguers, but also for visitors to our metropolis.

“The program at the Center for Architecture and Urban Planning (CAMP) will focus on the three metropolises that are presiding over the presidency.

Each discussion will then be followed by a summer cinema, “says Štěpán Bärtl, Head of CAMP.

The topic of the City by Bike will be discussed at the CAMP on Friday. The debate will focus mainly on supporting the French capital to build a dense cycling network, followed by a summer cinema with the film The Holy Race, which thematically follows the Tour de France cycling race.
