Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, offers meeting planners and attendees an excellent balance of classic event venues and plenty of leisure options for free time.
In recent years Prague has become an increasingly popular destination for meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions. The International Congress and Convention Association released its 2022 Country and City Rankings, and Prague ranked fifth worldwide for number of meetings per city, reinforcing its standing in the MICE industry. The city features a wide range of both traditional and distinctive meeting and event venues.
Prague Congress Centre is the city’s largest meeting and event facility. The versatile venue supports conferences and events of many sizes with a total capacity of 9,300 attendees. It provides modern audiovisual systems, full sound and lighting setups for performances, and an array of catering options from coffee breaks to formal banquets. The centre also offers on-site parking for around 1,000 vehicles, making logistics straightforward for large gatherings.

Prague’s architectural heritage—Baroque facades, Gothic spires and historic interiors—provides many memorable venue choices that celebrate the city’s past.
Within the Prague Castle complex, Lobkowicz Palace is the only privately owned building and houses the Lobkowicz Collections and Museum. Owned by the Lobkowicz family, the palace hosts corporate functions, private events and weddings in spaces ranging from intimate rooms to grand halls. The outdoor terrace offers panoramic views of the city and is well suited for cocktail receptions of up to 70 guests. For larger events, the Imperial Hall—with high ceilings, original frescoes and grand chandeliers—is ideal for gala dinners, receptions, conferences or concerts. The palace’s various spaces can accommodate groups from about 12 to 350 guests.
For hands-on team building, consider a glass-blowing session at Prague Glass Experience in Old Town. Group sessions include a demonstration and instruction by a master glass blower, plus a Czech beer tasting. Finished pieces require cooling and can be collected the following day. The on-site shop also offers vases, drinkware, decorative objects and jewelry for purchase.
No visit to Prague is complete without sampling Czech beer. Restaurant Červený Jelen runs a Tapster Academy where groups learn how to pour beer correctly from the tap. Suitable for up to 20 participants, the session includes instruction from a professional pourer, beer tastings, a graduate certificate and a small merchandise discount—an engaging and culturally authentic activity for groups.
