Where to go out in Prague?

Prague nightlife

Prague is one of the Central European cities with an excellent nightlife. While its old town, castle and museums are the main attractions, Prague is also famous for its partying. The young crowd flocks to the city’s many bars and clubs almost every night of the week. But what really makes for a great night out is the price of drinks: the price of a beer, for example, is ridiculously low. Here you’ll find a list of bars and clubs where you can go out in Prague!
