Rudolfinum (Dvorak Hall)
Old Town, Prague 1

The Rudolfinum is the second most significant Neo-Renaissance structure in Prague after the National Theatre.

It was built between 1876 and 1884 and is set in a commanding position near the Vltava River in the Old Town.

The Rudolfinum played an important role in the development of the newly formed state of Czechoslovakia in the early 20th century; the seat of the state parliament was sited here between the two world wars.

Today, the Rudolfinum is home to the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, who organise and perform classical concerts here.

The Dvořák Hall inside the Rudolfinum is one of the two largest concert halls in Prague (the other is the Smetana Hall at Municipal House). The grandeur of the building make it an impressive concert venue.

Unfortunately, most performances in the Dvořák Hall are not open to tourists; tickets are sold to subscription members, mainly Czech people, who sign up to attend a series of concerts throughout the season.

For those concerts that are on general release, Prague Experience offers them in our concert listings, for example 'Dvořák's Prague Festival', which is held annually in September (tickets go on sale in April).

Note: There is also a second concert hall at the Rudolfinum, the Suk Hall, which is impressive in its own right, and where performances are open to everyone.
