9 Unique Event Venues in Prague

Last updated on

Known as the “City of a Hundred Spires”, Prague was founded in the 9th century and its long history means that the Czech capital is home to several historic venues. However, not many know the city also boasts a number of unique and one of a kind venues in Prague. From gothic churches, a grand palace, party boats, and an ‘ugly’ tower --- here are our list of 9 unique event venues in Prague that will surely help make your affair lasting and memorable.

1.) A Perfectly Gothic Atmosphere

Out of all the venues in Prague, the Church of St. Anne is the one that provides such authentic gothic vibes that there is absolutely no need to hire an event decorator. Built sometime between 1313 to 1330, this Gothic church in Old Town Prague belonged to a Dominican Convent.

Inside the church, you can see actual Gothic wall paintings, and along with its grand vaulted ceilings, it makes for a very impressive event venue in Prague. It was around 2003-2004 when the church underwent reconstruction under the former Czech president Vaclav Havel, who himself was a writer and playwright. After the restoration, the Church of St. Anne became known as ‘The Prague Crossroads’, pertaining to the venue acting as a place where lectures, discussions, performances, exhibitions and all other events intersect.

As the Prague Crossroads has become quite a unique event venue in Prague, it now features in-floor heating, acoustic systems, and internal and external lighting. This venue is in the centre of downtown Prague, and is 5 minutes’ walking distance from Old Town Square and 3 minutes’ walk to and from Charles Bridge.

2.) Modern Minimalist but Cozy

Sometimes, the brightest and most elaborate ideas are born out of a clean slate. Animika Hub is clean and flexible enough to be a venue for a small to medium sized corporate event, workshop, a course, or simply a business meeting. The venue, which is a spacious studio, welcomes plenty of natural light. And together with its natural wood furnishings, it creates a clean and tranquil environment perfect for social gatherings and brain storming.

Located in the quiet and rising district of Karlin, this venue is ideal for medium sized groups. Animika Hub has plenty of parking spaces available, however its convenient location allows guests to reach it via a 10 minute walk to and from Prague’s centre. It is also close to two stations, Florenc and Krizikova. Catering services are available on-site, along with HD projectors and a conference room.
