🎈NEW YEAR - NEW EDITION OF THE USE-IT MAP OF PRAGUE🎈

After more than 3 years, USE-IT Prague is baaaack! We just released our new edition, celebrating the launch on the 5.12.2025 at Skatuský Institut Na Staromáku (Skautský institut), with a lot of emotions, happy faces and prices after a long bingo full of suspense.

🚇The thematic of this year’s map? The celebration of the 150th year of Prague’s Public Transport! Yup, some of us in the team are transport nerds (or “šotouš” = find out in “Vocabulary” section of the map what it means!)

🌟What’s new? Brand new design and layout, sustainable, q***r and community tips, updated walks, 70(!) new spots, brand new categories… but you’ll still find the spirit of the amazing last edition of 2022 if you already loved it.

Enough talking, you’ll already have much to read about! Pick up our paper maps in our different distribution points:
🗺️Skautský Institut na Staromáku, 2nd floor, on the wall next to the stairs, Staroměstské náměstí 4/1 (we come to fill it every week)
🗺️Prague City Tourism - Visitor Centre, Staroměstské náměstí 1 (ask for it to the info desk)
🗺️Univerzita Karlova - UK Point, Celetná 597/13

What’s next?
✨Our map will soon be available on an interactive digital version!
✨You can have access to the PDF version on use-it.travel website, or our own new website that we will release in the upcoming weeks (use-it.cz)
✨Walks, feedback sessions.

Today at the USE-IT Annual Meeting we also dived into Improving Cartography 🗺️ — one of the key outcomes of the DIG-IT project.

DIG-IT is our 3-year Erasmus+ journey to take USE-IT from paper to digital: developing skills, tools, and platforms so our free maps made by locals shine online too. The project has brought mapmakers and experts together across Europe to test new ways of combining authentic content with smart digital features (think gamification, bucket lists, city mini-sites).

The session was led by Stanislav Popelka (Palacký University Olomouc) and Markéta Beitlová (Charles University, Prague) — who showed us how modern cartography methods can make our maps more accurate, more user-friendly, and more fun.A big thanks for pushing our mapping skills further! 🚀
