Which places took part last time?

On January 1, 2026: Prague Zoo, the Troja botanical garden, Petřín lookout tower and the mirror maze, the public transport museum in Střešovice, the Planetum (planetarium and two observatories), Muzeum Prahy, the City Gallery, Vyšehrad and HW Lab. The list for the next edition has not been published yet.

Can we do the zoo and the botanical garden on the same day?

Yes. They sit side by side in Troja, and both opened at 9am and closed at 4pm last time, so a morning at one and an early afternoon at the other works well.

What if it's too cold to be outside?

The planetarium, the transport museum with its old trams, Muzeum Prahy and HW Lab are all indoors. The zoo and Petřín tower are the outdoor picks, so save them for a dry, bright day and dress for winter.

Spread across the city, so pair places that sit close together, like the zoo and the botanical garden in Troja

About

Prague dropped its New Year fireworks over the noise and the stress on animals. In their place, the city gives Praguers a New Year's gift: on the first day of the year, its own zoo, gardens, museums, observatories and lookout tower open free or for a token price. It turns a slow holiday into a cheap outing for families who want fresh air after a late night.
