What neighborhood to hit?
Old Town is where it’s at. Located in the central area of Prague and popular with both tourists and locals with a variety of bars, pubs and clubs. But, if you don’t want to be elbowing your way through crowds on a Friday night, go for Zizkov. Very hip and laid-back with a unique vibe. You can also save some “korunas” as the prices won’t be as high as in the city centre. In Zizkov, you’ll bump into students and artists more than tourists. If you feel a little fancier, head to Vinohrady. It’s an upscale neighborhood with great bars, restaurants and nightclubs.
Make your reservations or let us handle it
If you’re heading to Prague and want to experience the city’s vibrant bar scene, it’s important to plan ahead (or at least save a link to this blog if you’re the pack-an-hour-before-my-flight kind of crew). While the city centre, particularly around Wenceslas Square and Old Town Square, is a safe bet for a good night out, it’s also worth doing some research and making reservations in advance to avoid unnecessary headaches. (You don’t want to fly over half of Europe to find out that the bar you most wanted to get into is fully booked with no chance to get in.)
We can take you for a pub crawl in Prague on your first night so you acquaint yourself with the Prague nightlife scene. After that, you can decide if you feel like putting the rest of the itinerary together yourself or want us to continue handling things. If you decide to go with us, there is an almost endless list of shenanigans you can sign up for. (Paying a visit to a strip club in Prague is a no brainer, make sure it’s on your list!)

Stay safe and bring change
Prague nightlife is epic and it’s one of the safest cities in Europe, but you still want to be aware of your surroundings while enjoying a night out with your lads. Always watch your drink, avoid dark alleys, and try to stick to well-lit areas with people. If you are on the metro, be aware of pickpockets. A stolen passport (or other valuables) is no fun.
Pro tip! Make sure you have some Czech cash on you during your night out. Ending an epic night without a kebab would be a crime. There are shops selling them on almost every corner and believe us, dürums and döners always taste the best at 3 AM!
