Who we are?
We are interested in the future of Prague. We want to improve the public debate on the development of our city. We are an essential source of clear and accessible information about the capital. Our goal is to serve as an open platform, a "base camp" for anyone interested in the joint planning and functioning of Prague.
At CAMP, you can find an exhibition hall with a unique 25-metre projection screen, a study room with a large selection of publications on architecture, urbanism and design, a café with an outdoor terrace, and a lecture hall with a diverse programme comprising public discussions, appearances by domestic and foreign experts, workshops, film screenings, art workshops for children, and other activities.
We manage the map application "Prague Tomorrow?", which provides an overview of construction projects in Prague — from the first ideas through projects in the phase of preparation to those already being built on construction sites.
We are part of the Prague Institute of Planning and Development (IPR Prague).
Where to find us
where
We are located in the grounds of the Emmaus Abbey, just a few steps from Charles Square and Prague's Embankment. You can find us in one of the ‘Prager cubes’, named after the prominent Czech architect Karel Prager, who also designed the New Stage of the National Theatre and the former Federal Assembly building.

Tours and rentals
Tickets
Admission to CAMP, including the exhibition, café, bookshop and reading room, is free and there is no need to buy a ticket. The vast majority of our events are also free, but tickets must be booked in advance at GoOut.
Seats are not numbered. If a spectator with a valid ticket does not take his/her seat at least 5 minutes before the scheduled start of the event, that seat will be allocated to visitors without a reservation.
Thank you for following the CAMP Visiting Rules. By attending events held outside the premises of the Institute of Planning and Development of the Capital City of Prague, you agree to the rules and general conditions of the event (see documents below).
Children, schools, parents
We're here for young and old alike! For children, pupils and students, in short for anyone who wants to learn more about the city they live in. We work with children as a team of tutors and teachers who explore the city with them and show them how it works. We regularly organise series of walks that show children Prague from a new perspective. Children can also participate in our suburban camps.
Accessibility
At CAMP, we want to be accessible to all visitors without distinction. Most of our program is free. We also offer a number of services and arrangements for you to enjoy the program. We do our best to make this website accessible, you can find all the information together at the following link.

Café, Study room, Bookstore
From 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Tuesday to Sunday, whenever our neon sign is lit, our café is there for you. Soups, sandwiches, cakes and pies. Make an appointment, come and study or just drop in for a drink. We have coffee from the Rusty Nails roastery, beer from Moucha brewery and lemonade Limo GANG. If you want to sunbathe in the summer with a view of the city, you can rent a sun lounger and take it to the Emmaus. And anyone who wants to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the street can relax in our atrium.
The café is also happy to provide catering for various events that you can organise there.
Study room
What are the new trends in architecture, town planning or design? Read some of the dozens of professional publications and journals in our reading room. We regularly subscribe to Domus, Frame, Wallpaper, Mark, Monocle, Real Review, Volume, The Architectural Review, the Journal of Urban Economics, the Harvard Design Magazine, and dozens of others.
