Discover Dejvice

Dejvice surprises with an unusual combination of public culture, Czech puppet theatre, protected landscapes, viticulture and remarkable architecture. The cultural programme at Vektor Technická is particularly diverse: during the season, its programme includes concerts, performances, exhibitions, debates, workshops and community events. Those choosing accommodation in Dejvice will therefore find a place where different travel interests can be combined without reducing the district’s distinctive features to a single attraction.

Culture and architecture in Dejvice

For families and adults interested in culture, Divadlo Spejbla a Hurvínka offers traditional Czech puppet theatre. The theatre explicitly caters to children and adults, so it is not limited to an exclusively young audience. Osada Baba provides a very different cultural focus. It is an extraordinary colony of 33 functionalist villas of various types, built between 1932 and 1940. The urban planning was designed by Pavel Janák. The 33 villas therefore do not follow a single house type. Functionalist architecture is oriented towards clear design and the use of the building. The colony provides an architectural focus, while the puppet theatre offers a traditional cultural experience. Together with the programme at Vektor Technická, the range extends from performing arts and exhibitions to the history and design of Baba Colony. Baba Colony has been an urban heritage conservation zone since 1993; since 2020, it has been included on the European Heritage List. When choosing a hotel in Dejvice, this architectural focus can therefore be just as decisive as the seasonal programme of events.

Landscape, rare species and wine

The landscape is also part of the character of the area. The Kaňon Vltavy u Sedlce area includes the Dejvice cadastral district. It features open rock communities and xerothermic flora; it is also home to wildlife with many rare and endangered species. Xerothermic flora refers to plants adapted to warm and dry locations. This landscape complements the cultural sites with an area shaped by rock communities, dry locations, and rare and endangered wildlife. Vinice Baba provides a special culinary connection: it is the only certified organic vineyard in Prague and lies on the edge of the Baba protected area. The vineyard adds an agricultural aspect to this landscape. It therefore has a direct spatial connection with this protected landscape. By arrangement with the owner, you can visit the vineyard and taste its wines. The visit and tasting are subject to this arrangement.
