Palác Akropolis

Top choice in Prague


The Akropolis is a Prague institution, a labyrinthine, sticky-floored shrine to alternative music and drama. Its various performance spaces host a smorgasbord of musical and cultural events, from DJs and string quartets to Macedonian Roma bands, local rock gods and visiting talent – Marianne Faithfull, the Flaming Lips and the Strokes have all played here.
