As part of Jan Hus Day, the public will have one final chance to visit the historic Liechtenstein Palace on Kampa (in 2025). On display from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in guided tours, the 17th-century palace showcases its rich past and present role as a government venue. Visitors can view interiors that have hosted global dignitaries, including Queen Elizabeth II and Emperor Akihito, during official state events and delegations.

Celebrate a year of flavor and friendship at La Perla de Karlín’s 1st Anniversary Fiesta this Saturday. Sip on a glass of cava, savor a handpicked selection of tapas, and let the rhythms of live Spanish music set the mood. Expect warmth, laughter, and a touch of magic—yes, there’ll be queimada! It’s not a ticketed event, but a heartfelt thank-you to everyone who’s helped make this cozy tapas bar a neighborhood favorite.

Magdalena Bay, a pop duo known for colorful, psychedelic, and timeless music, will perform at ARCHA+ on July 6 as part of their Imaginal Mystery Tour.
