143rd anniversary of the Battle of Hradec Králové
The Chlum elevation, northwest of Hradec Králové, was the site of a battle between the Prussian and Austrian armies on 3 July 1866. Every year, on the battle’s anniversary, battle re-enactments and reverent commemorations for the fallen soldiers are held in the area of the memorial sight.

Smetana’s Litomyšl
The international opera festival “Smetana’s Litomyšl” is, after the Prague Spring festival, the second oldest music festival in the Czech Republic and, at the same time, is among the largest regular festivals of classical music in the Czech Republic.
ROCK FOR PEOPLE
The start of the holiday season belongs once again to the 16th annual ROCK FOR PEOPLE festival at the Festival Park in Hradec Králové.
One should think that only a genuine film fanatic is able to sit all day in a cinema when the summer weather is at its peak outside. Come to this year’s festival in Karlovy Vary and you will see there are thousands of avid viewers here who will forget about the outside world for a week. And anyone who will not be able to stay an entire day in a dusky movie theatre can go to see a play or musical performance or just have a rest in the park. Because the main motto of this film show is to take it easy…
When visiting historic cities, castles and chateaux, do you wonder how was the life there at the time of their greatest glory? You can experience this personally at historic celebrations in the Czech Republic: try delicacies at a medieval fair, cheer on knights in their jousts, or amuse yourself by watching the performance of jugglers and musicians. The adventurous journey to the past begins!
A competition can be had anywhere: at an athletics track, motorcycle circuit, racecourse, or even a village lake or on city streets. Whether it’s a world championship or a neighbourhood final, sporting events in the Czech Republic will not fail to entertain!
