No ordinary “geekfest”, this long-running festival takes science to the masses in a way that is fun and cool, with screenings, lectures, workshops, music and guests speakers of international renown. You owe it to your children to take them!
Beer often leads to a party and vice versa. That’s the simple formula behind this three-day live music event each May focussing almost entirely on rock and pop music acts from the Czech Republic and Central Europe. Fans of Czech beer, rock or both love it.
