When you have booked a weekend in Prague (or perhaps even treated yourself to a longer break there) the first thing on your mind will probably be making a shortlist of venues to see during the day. Prague is packed full of delightful places to see and things to do, but of course you don’t stop thinking about enjoying yourself when the sun goes down, do you?

Of course not, which is why it pays to consider how you will be spending your evenings as well. Luckily Prague has a very lively nightlife, which means you should consider where you will be staying quite carefully before you book anything. If you love nothing better than a nice relaxing and laid back meal, followed by a drink, a stroll and then an early night, make sure you’re not staying in the middle of one of the liveliest streets.

The good news is that if you like clubs and bars you won’t go thirsty or short of entertainment either. In fact many of the locations you could visit stay open well into the small hours and through until morning in some cases too.

Be sure to explore both the Old Town and the New Town while you are in Prague. Not only do they both offer much to see and do during the daytime, you will also be able to benefit from the wide range of clubs that come alive after dark.

A classic example in the Old Town is Karlovy Lazne. Since it boasts a full five floors you might think you are entering a department store rather than a club. But it’s a popular venue with many people and you will certainly be tempted to spend a good few hours there.

Back in the New Town you could try out the Duplex Club and café in Wenceslas Square. This is a key area worth visiting at any time, so make sure you make your way back to the top floor of the Duplex Club building to see a different side of Prague at night.
