The hottest nightlife districts in Prague. Bars, clubs, restaurants, and general tips for a vibrant night in Prague’s scene.
What Do I Need to Know?
Prague is a cosmopolitan city! Even if the nightlife can’t quite match that of metropolises like London or Berlin, it’s still sophisticated and exciting. Behind its artistic and cultural heritage, Prague also hides a young soul, which is evident in its vibrant nightlife.
There are nightlife options for every budget: from cozy and affordable pubs, to classy trendy bars, to sinfully expensive nightclubs. Most venues are open daily all year round, but some open-air clubs open only in the summer.
Prague is a destination for fans of electronic music and although the clubs are small, the quality is first class. If you don’t like disco, go to a place with live music, a brewery, a pub, or a classical concert.
