What is it?
In a city renowned for spectacular architecture, the charms of this 19th-century Neo-Renaissance symphony hall still manage to stand out.
Is it worth visiting?
This historic building is designed to be admired from all sides. Sculptures of renowned composers stand guard over the columned façade out front. The rounded walls of Dvořák Hall provide the perfect acoustics for the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra. The smaller Suk Hall hosts more intimate concerts, private events, and occasional film screenings under a sparkling chandelier. On the bottom floor, contemporary artists decorate the walls of the free-to-enter Galerie Rudolfinum alongside a family-friendly, interactive Artpark. Top off your exploration of the building with a light snack and espresso in the spacious Café Rudolfinum, also on the lower level.
Ticketing info
Tickets for shows and concerts are available either from the Rudolfinum’s box office (open 10am - 6pm weekdays) or the official website. The cafe is free to enter (10am - 6pm, Thursday 10am - 8pm, closed Monday), and many of the gallery’s exhibitions are also free to check out. There is also a small shop for souvenirs, soaps, and other special Rudolinum creations.
Time Out tip
Classical music fans should plan a visit around the Prague Spring Festival (usually May-June) for a full calendar of international performances.
