Prague’s post-pandemic reset is paying off in 2025, with quality-of-life fundamentals like Top 5 Health and #6 Standard of Living rankings meeting a steady buildout of culture and mobility. Along the Vltava, the city keeps investing in people-first riverfronts: Náplavka’s vaulted bays hum with markets and galleries, while the Čapadlo embankment hosts open-air concerts that validate a #16 ranking for Sights & Landmarks and #17 for Nightlife. Museum programming is equally magnetic: Kunsthalle Praha, DOX and the National Gallery’s citywide venues sustain a #16 Museums finish and a year- round calendar that spills into the streets at Signal Festival each fall. Urban buildout also continues, with tunneling on the new Metro D line advancing south from Pankrác, and the Smíchov City regeneration adding mixed-income housing and offices toward a new intermodal terminal. Around Masaryk Station, Zaha Hadid’s Masaryčka has created a destination retail-and-office scene, while the Savarin Palace revival off Wenceslas Square opened recently. Hospitality investment continues with the W Prague reanimating the Grand Hotel Evropa on Wenceslas Square; and the riverfront Fairmont Golden Prague opened in April 2025. With a Top 25 spot in our overall Livability index, Prague’s future shines bright.
