Fortuna Arena
The largest football stadium in the Czech Republic has stood in the Vršovice district since 1953 — and the club it was built for has called this address home since then, returning to the rebuilt ground after a construction-era detour.

Fortuna Arena holds 19,370 people and is the biggest, most modern football ground in the country. Slavia Prague plays all its home matches here, and the Czech national team uses it occasionally. The stadium hosted the 2013 UEFA Super Cup, giving the ground a rare piece of continental history for a venue outside the major leagues.
What to look for
- The 19,370-seat bowl — the largest capacity of any football ground in the Czech Republic
- Slavia Prague's home-end displays and supporter culture, rooted in a club that has called this Vršovice site home since a 1–1 draw on 27 September 1953
- References to the 2013 UEFA Super Cup, the highest-profile single match the stadium has hosted

More to see in Prague
- Prague CastleThe Guinness-record largest ancient castle on Earth — and the Czech president still works inside it.
- Charles BridgeCzech legend holds that Charles IV chose his construction start time — 5:31am on 9 July 1357 — because the digits form a palindrome he believed would imbue the bridge with additional strength.
- St. Vitus CathedralOne theory holds that the founding duke may have chosen St. Vitus partly because his name echoes a Slavic sun god — making conversion easier for a populace already devoted to the solar deity Svantevit. Christian and pagan communities shared this hilltop until at least the 11th century.
- Dancing HouseTwo interlocked towers shaped like mid-dance partners, built on a Vltava riverfront plot that sat bombed-out and derelict for decades.
- Prague Astronomical ClockEvery hour, a skeleton marks the time — on a clock mechanism that has been running since 1410.
- National Museum in PragueThe building that closes off Wenceslas Square has anchored Czech protests, rallies, and public life since 1891.
