After more than two years behind construction fences, one of Prague’s busiest public spaces is returning to daily life. Jiřího z Poděbrad Square, known to generations of Prague residents simply as “Jiřák,” will officially reopen today, June 17th, following an extensive renovation. The project has brought new trees, upgraded infrastructure and redesigned public areas, while also triggering heated discussions among locals over how one of the city’s best-known squares should evolve.
