Marathon Days

Fanta building

Step into history and elegance at "Fantova budova", the breathtaking Art Nouveau gem of Prague’s Main Train Station. Designed by the visionary architect Josef Fanta and completed in 1909, this masterpiece captures the spirit of early 20th-century Prague — where travel, art, and architecture met in perfect harmony. Behind its grand façade lies a world of intricate stained glass, sculpted details, sweeping arches, and high ceilings that flood the space with daylight. Once a gateway to Europe for travelers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, today Fantova budova shines again after a meticulous restoration, revealing its original beauty and charm. It’s more than just a railway hall — it’s a living piece of Prague’s history. A space where the elegance of the past meets the vibrant energy of the present.

What Dancers Say

"As always, the marathon was absolutely incredible. You can tell attention is paid to the slightest detail in order for everything to be perfect at all times. I have been to other marathons but none of them scores nearly as high as this one. The venue has everything: perfect dance floor, tables and chairs for the meals, plenty of very tasty and varied food made onsite, a good sound system playing music at a level that allows you to dance comfortably and also talk and socialise, etc. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the choice of music is generally exquisite and the crowd is incredibly friendly, yet it has a higher average dancing level than I have seen in any other event. For me it is just paradise!"

Romantic Grotta

The Grotta is the main attraction of the Havlicek Gardens and looks like a fairytale with its peculiar rock formations. The artificial cave features the arcade promenade which is quite unique in Prague. The Grotta dates back to 1871–1888 when it was intricately built by Moritz Grobe, a millionaire. After renovation in 2011, the cave was opened for public.
