These recently renovated spaces are run primarily by the communities they serve, providing low-key, affordable locations for young adults to study and socialize. Skautsky Institute, maintained by the local Scouts organization, offers a multi-room café and interior courtyard with a vibe so friendly and mellow that you’ll forget that you’re next door to the Astronomical Clock. The underground cave of Studentsky Club Celetna, just off of Old Town Square, is equipped with tables, sofas, and a small stage for lectures, poetry, and musical performances. Both venues organize a regular events calendar (often in Cech) and are explicitly open and welcoming to international visitors.
Time Out tip: Students always know the best affordable beers beyond big-name breweries– try regional favorites like Svijany and Unětice on draft.
