This classic theatre has been around since 1909, making it one of the oldest cinemas in operation…read morein the world. It consists of two separate screening auditoriums, the first seating around 450 and the second around 50. The inside of the larger theatre is gorgeous, it's like the inside of a live performing arts venue, it transports you back to the glitzy, novel atmosphere that was associated with going to the movies early on in cinematic history. The second auditorium used to be the private screening room of one of the co-owners of Lucerna Palace, the building the theatre is located within, and the founder of a Czech movie production studio. Previously it used to be used for screening of films on production, then as the building ownership changed eventually this was opened in 2013 as an extension of the existing cinema. Both spaces are modernized with the current film-projection and audio technology. Tickets are available in person at the box office or via purchase in advance online. They send an email with your ticket, no app is required. More information on what movies are playing and ticket sales are available on their website kinolucerna.cz

It´s a legendary cinema auditorium who takes pride in tradition of first permanent cinema in Czech…read more(1909). The cinema hall is situated in the Lucerna Palace and the authors of late Art-Nouveau and beginning of modern art are architect Stanislav Bechyně and master builder Vácslav Havel (dad of our former prezident Václav Havel). After some great movie (I´ve seen there one french film during french films week and one italian film- La Grande Belleza. The last one was so sophisticated and definitely matched with the background of the cinema. I can also recommend the café Lucerna which is also an architectural masterpiece and relaxed and themed café. It offers peaceful relaxation before or after the movie. It´s also very pleasing place for friendly or alternatively work meetings. Before the entry to the cinema hall, you will go through the passage where you can come across a provocative sculpture hanging from the ceiling made by David Černý. Actually, it´s St. Venceslav sitting on a belly of horse who is hanging turned upside down (the wrong way up). This artwork is supposed to hang there till the monarchy of "Lands of the Bohemian Crown" will be reestablished.

My first experience with Austrian Airlines was booked though Lufthansa for a r/t flight from…read moreBucharest to Prague. In a nutshell: what an absolutely horrendous experience and abysmal customer service. Never again. I expected more from a Lufthansa partner in Europe. It started with my check-in experience at the airline counter at OTP. I expressed concern to the Austrian Airlines employee that my husband and I weren't seated next to our 3 and 5 year olds and requested we all be seated together. She immediately dismissed me without so much as looking at our tickets, told me there was "nothing she could do" and shrugged her shoulders. Are you kidding me?? Isn't your top priority supposed to be SAFETY?? And you're not willing to rearrange seats for a family to avoid 3 and 5 year olds sitting alone without their guardians? Unbelievable and absolutely appalling for an airline. I was speechless. Things got worse when our return flight from Prague was cancelled at 10:43pm the night before our planned 7:20am departure the following morning. It was nearly impossible to contact customer service to complete the rebooking process. Due to the incredibly long wait times we couldn't get another flight out for 3 days and they wouldn't rebook us on an earlier flight that we found as available online, instead saying that it was fully booked. We ended up having to request a refund for our return flight and book our new return flight - on another airline - independently (the same one they told us was fully booked). A stressful and frustrating experience that left us swearing we'd never use Austrian Airlines again. We would actively avoid this airline in the future and would never recommend.

We had multiple servers who were so attentive. In addition, there was a pianist on an acoustic piano playing nice music (NOT an electric keyboard w/boom chicka booms). I started with their soup of the day-cauliflower. The picture doesn't do it justice. We each ordered the filet mignon which came with roasted potatoes and a salad. The meat portion was huge and there were plenty of potatoes. To finish I had a crème brûlée, my favorite dessert. It did not disappoint. Overall, it was a lovely dinner and then after we went upstairs to a string concert. A great night.

I got the mini pancake with the berry jam and a cappuccino. The jam on the pancake was tangy and sour and sweet, which elevated the dish. The server that served us was good, but we went around 8:30, and there were only 4 other customers sitting down. We didn't see a server at first or a hostess, so we tried to ask someone that's behind the entrance making coffee if we can just sit down. Let me tell you that she was so rude, as in she didn't even acknowledge our existence and totally stared and turned her head away. For an establishment in the middle of a tourist center open during breakfast hour, maybe have a cup or two of coffee so you don't become so rude. A few days in Prague, and by far, this was the rudest encounter. Everywhere else, they were super nice.

If you are not Kanye West: This is your cinema in Prague. I say this because there is only one…read morecinema in Prague that Kanye West would actually prefer: The Lucerna right next to it. It is a beautiful screening hall which is bad because I have actually found myself to be slightly annoyed when the lights go out and the pre-show begins...just because the venue is so terribly stylish. Oh, one more note on the competition: The chairs are pretty uncomfy - which brings us to Svetozor where the chairs in the small screening hall are also rather uncomfy, which is again complaining on a high level of course: I honestly don't get how people frequent multiplex cinemas and pay double of what they would have to pay at Svetozor (possibly triple for snacks and drinks). Sound and all the other technicalities are superb. Svetozor's program is top notch: Excellent selection with English subtitles whenever possible. The drinks are so reasonably priced and simply excellent (try their 11°!) that the bar is actually a nice place to go even if you don't intend on catching a movie. To top it all off they've got festivals, their movie summer and all these collaborative ventures with Bio Oko and Aero (both of which I also love...they are just a bit further away). Honestly: The uncomfy chairs in the small screening hall are THE ONLY downside. And I can totally live with that as most of the movies they show there (documentaries and rarities) cannot be seen and found elsewhere anyway. Oh by the way, if you really are Kanye West: Give me a call, I'd like to hang out and talk about how much of a genius you are and how tragic it is that you won't ever be able to see yourself perform live!

The platform area is pretty with silver and gold signage. This station does have a lift signposted at each entrance, but you are able to use steps, which I prefer as it seems to be a given that subway station lifts stink of urine. As with any Metro Station in Prague, remember to buy a ticket before you board using the ticket machines. They have an English language if you prefer. You must also validate this ticket before boarding. Unlike other subway systems, there aren't traditional ticket gates, so don't get caught out or you'll risk a large fine. It acts as an interchange station between Lines A and B, and I did find it straightforward to get both in and out of the station and between lines if needed using the steps and escalators. I'm not sure about the lift route, but with they were well-signposted. 3* - Pretty average station along the Prague Metro network, the location is useful.
