Palac Akropolis

Pixies, Afghan Whigs, The Strokes, Kid Loco, Stereolab and the Dead Kennedys are just some of the first class bands that have played a show there, but Palac Akropolis is much more than just a rock venue. This cultural complex located in a monumental building hosts groovy DJ nights, a selection of independent theater performances and art exhibitions, 2 bars, a cafe and a superb whimsically designed restaurant serving quality food. Akropolis is a true Mecca of any concertgoer, culture lover and hipster in the city upon the Vltava. Located in the trendy neighborhood of Zizkov and looked after by the babies climbing the controversial Zizkov TV Tower, Akropolis is dangerous.
