Prague is one of Europe’s historic gems, but visitors are also drawn to the Czech capital for exceptional experiences that are difficult to find anywhere else on the continent. The biggest attraction is the release of Christopher Nolan’s film The Odyssey at Prague’s IMAX cinema, one of only a handful of venues in Europe capable of screening films on an original 70mm IMAX film print. And that is just the beginning!
The IMAX Experience of The Odyssey in Prague
Prague is one of only a few European cities where film enthusiasts can experience the true 70mm IMAX format. Cinema City IMAX Flora is not a standard multiplex auditorium. Thanks to its projection of original 70mm IMAX film prints, it offers one of the most authentic cinematic experiences available today.
That is precisely why movie fans from across Europe are travelling to Prague. In many countries, cinemas capable of screening films in this format no longer exist, making a screening of The Odyssey a reason in itself for many visitors to plan a trip to the Czech capital. Christopher Nolan is one of the directors who makes full use of the possibilities offered by large-format IMAX, allowing audiences to experience the film in the format for which it was created. Incidentally, the 70mm IMAX print of The Odyssey is approximately 16–17 kilometres long.
Demand for screenings is exceptionally high, and the best showtimes are filling up quickly. Anyone wishing to experience The Odyssey in Prague’s IMAX should plan their visit well in advance.
Prague Planetarium: A New Dimension of Space Exploration
Prague offers another technological landmark: the newly modernised Prague Planetarium. Following an extensive renovation, it has become one of the most advanced planetariums in the world. Its new LED DOME system, featuring tens of millions of LED diodes, delivers an exceptionally sharp image, outstanding contrast, and a remarkably realistic view of the universe, taking the planetarium experience to an entirely new level.
Another advantage of the Prague Planetarium is its location. It is situated in the heart of Stromovka Royal Park, one of Prague’s most beautiful green spaces, close to the Prague Exhibition Grounds, museums, and other cultural institutions.
Advance reservations are recommended for visits to the Prague Planetarium.
Harry Potter in Prague
Another major attraction is Harry Potter™: The Exhibition, which brings one of the world’s most successful projects inspired by the Harry Potter film phenomenon to Prague. The exhibition will take place from 6 August 2026 to 21 March 2027 at PVA EXPO Prague Letňany.
Visitors will be able to see original film props, costumes, iconic sets, and objects featured in the Harry Potter™ and Fantastic Beasts™ film series. The exhibition also includes interactive elements that allow visitors to step directly into the wizarding world.
Dan Brown’s Robert Langdon Returns to Prague
Prague is also strengthening its position as an international film destination. The upcoming series The Secret of Secrets, based on Dan Brown’s novel, will bring the world of Professor Robert Langdon to the screen in the Czech capital. The novel itself is set in Prague, where the city is not merely a backdrop but one of the key elements of the story.
