No New Year's fireworks display this year but locals can get discounted entry to Prague attractions

The city government has announced that Prague will not be putting on a public fireworks or projection mapping display on New Year's Eve this year. However, the city is instead offering residents a discounted admission fee to several Prague attractions on New Year's Day.

On presenting proof of residence or employment in Prague, such as a city public transport pass, locals will be able to visit the zoo and botanical gardens for practically free, only paying a symbolic CZK 1 entry fee, and can see the Public Transport Museum and the seven towers managed by Prague City Tourism for a discounted price.

Since 2020, Prague has also tightened the rules for setting off fireworks, with people no longer allowed to set them off in most areas of the city centre.
