Prague is above all a city of beautiful views. Lithospheric plates and time gave the area in which the capital of the Czech Republic is located an incredible relief. Hills expand the city, make its space voluminous. Therefore, locals like to gather in the higher places and enjoy the view of the red roofs and sharp peaks of the towers. There are really a lot of such places: for example, Petřín Hill, from where St. Vitus Cathedral pierces the sky, and a small copy of the Eiffel Tower rises nearby. But the main place for contemplating sunsets is the slope in the Riegrovy Sady. This is a park where people come to drink beer or wine, walk each other or their beloved dog and, of course, admire the panorama for the thousandth time. There are grocery stores on the approaches to the park, and in the gardens themselves there is a bar and a beer yard. Be sure to bring a blanket with you.
Bar U Trojského kone
Vodacka 1
"At the Troy Horse" (not to be confused with Trojan) is a bar, a gallery, an open space for creativity, a theater, a cinema and a meeting place for nice people. All this is outdoors. Located on the banks of the Vltava in the Troja area, not far from the Prague Zoo (where, by the way, local residents buy subscriptions for a year to visit polar bears, elephants and other inhabitants several times a month). Remember the name "Troy Horse" - and you will definitely not be mistaken when you look for it: only a blind man will miss a wooden horse ten meters high. On the spot you can order homemade lemonade, beer, wine or something stronger to relax after a walk. If you stay too long, ask the owner of the establishment to call you a taxi, since getting to the center is not so close. Do not be too lazy to look at how athletes train nearby on the river: there is a corridor of obstacles that artificially creates a mountain current for kayakers.
Restaurant La Casa
Kostnicke namesti 635/3
Czech cuisine stands on three pillars: beer, dumplings, pork. If you eat this set every day several times, there is a high probability of getting a volvulus. It is no wonder that the Czechs themselves have long begun to move away from their traditional dishes towards a simpler and lighter cuisine. There are two directions in this trend: Italian cuisine and burgers. Let's talk about the first. It's hard to believe, but in the Czech Republic you can also try delicious food made from Italian products according to Italian recipes. Therefore, if the traditional tourist options are no longer climbing, feel free to go to the La Casa restaurant for a Mediterranean dinner in a cozy atmosphere. On weekdays, the institution is especially popular with office workers who come there for lunch. (usually the price of a soup + second set does not exceed 150 kroons).
Cinema Výletní kino Smíchov
Hořejší nábřeží 1126, P-5 Smíchov
There are a lot of theater venues and cinemas in Prague. You can watch a play or a movie anywhere in the city. There are halls, tickets for which you need to buy a few months in advance. In warm weather, open-air cinemas open. The most popular among these is Výletní kino Smíchov. Its viewers watch films on the banks of the Vltava overlooking the famous Prague gingerbread houses. Shows are in English. On weekends, it's best to arrive early to buy tickets, have a few beers at a local bar and enjoy the panorama.
Embankment Naplavka
Naplavka
There is no sea in the Czech Republic, so the inhabitants of Prague compensated for the atmosphere of the seaside embankment with the Naplavka space near the Vltava. This is a favorite place for local youth. On a kilometer stretch, concert venues and bars, barges and ships are open, in which they dance and dine. For those who walk until morning on Friday, a farmers' market opens on Saturday, where you can recharge with vitamins from Czech plantations. From October to April, a sauna is open on one of the ships. The steam there is not the strongest and there are no brooms, but the view of the city from the glass steam room is mesmerizing. Be prepared for the fact that in the Czech Republic, men and women bathe in the same room. Most often they are naked.
Market Farmářský trh Jiřího z Poděbrad
Jiriho z Poděbrad, 1
Fashion for a healthy diet, vegetarianism and raw food is gaining momentum in the Czech Republic. More and more shops, bakeries and cafes are opening in Prague, where only local products are used. Farmers' markets operating in different parts of the city are very popular. The nearest to the center is located on the square Jiřího z Poděbrad. Fresh produce from the area arrives every Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday by 8 am. It is not necessary to come to the opening - closer to ten o'clock you can not only buy vegetables, fish, sausages, cheeses and pastries, but also try something from street food, drink beer from an unknown brewery and taste wine from Moravian cellars. The average check for such a dinner for two will be 200–400 kroons.
Bar Pivni Klub 300
Jireckova 1015/15
In Prague, it is very easy to distinguish between a tourist place and one where locals frequent. This difference lies in two main parameters: the distance from the attraction and the availability of menus in different languages. The Pivní Klub 300 bar has a menu in Czech, so tourists are not welcome here in the first place. Praguers come here to try new beers and just meet up with old friends. The owner of the institution, who is also a bartender, is always friendly and will gladly tell you in detail about each type of beer that is in the range. For an appetizer, try nakládaný hermelín marinated cheese.
Průhonice Park
252 43 Průhonice
Traffic jams are not about Prague. In this city, road communication is thought out with a bang. The public transport network covers the entire city, so many motorists use the red trams that have been famous since Soviet times. But on Friday evening, getting from the center to a remote area becomes more difficult. After work, locals load bicycles, roller skates, skis or snowboards into cars and leave the city. Those who cannot afford two days of rest go on a day tour. The closest place for a day trip is Pruhonice Park, located just outside the city limits. Entrance fee - symbolic 60 crowns for nature, fresh air and a beautiful castle. The park has several routes for walking from 1–2 to 10 kilometers.
Cross Club
Plynárni 1096/23 170 00
The Cross Club is where impressive underground parties take place. The owner and his team are literally turned on steampunk, which is reflected in the cosmic interior of the establishment they invented. This is not the place where you can go with a girl in search of romance - people go here to sweat. All local hardcore and punk fans know by heart the schedule of concerts and parties. But even those who are far from these directions drop into the Cross Club just to look at what is happening.
Cabaret Darling
Prague is often called the second Amsterdam not at all for its similar architecture and water channels, but for its very free morals in the field of adult entertainment. In the evening on Wenceslas Square there are a lot of dark-skinned guys who do not need to be scared: they only invite passers-by to look at the light in the club. But if the locals decide to go somewhere, they go to Darling. This Prague "Moulin Rouge" is known for spectacular show programs, angelic beauty of dancers and not the most democratic prices for drinks - you need to carefully look at the menu before making an order. The street where the club is located has been famous for many years for its nightlife, where Praguers go out every night.

What not to spend time and money on in Prague
- Experienced travelers do not recommend specially waiting on the Old Town Square when the clock on the city hall starts to strike. Yes, the sight is curious: the figures begin to move, the trumpeter plays. But it's definitely not worth the time to wait.
- The same applies to another action - the changing of the guard at Prague Castle. There is nothing special about it.
- It is quite expensive to visit the Jewish quarter and the cemetery located here. If you are attracted to historical burial places, it is better to visit the Visegrad Fortress, where many famous Czechs are buried.
- You can save money on walks along the Vltava. They are quite short, they are not cheap, and you can clearly see the river from the banks.
- It is not recommended to sit in the park in front of the Main Station: according to reviews, this is not the most criminally quiet place in Prague.
- It is not worth paying money for the entrance to the Golden Lane: in the evening you can walk along it for free. You can also save money on visiting the royal chambers of Prague Castle.
- Skip the not-so-tasty ham from the skewers in Old Town Square. You will most likely be cut off a large and expensive piece, which you will surely regret.
- Do not spend time in shopping malls and malls in Prague. You won't find anything special in them.
Hello, friends! When going to the Czech Republic, you will definitely wonder where to go in Prague in the evening. As in any tourist city, there are popular places where people walk until late at night. Perhaps, at any time of the day, life pulsates on and around the Charles Bridge, on Wenceslas Square and near the Powder Tower.
No doubt, all these are magnificent and iconic places in Prague. Moreover, they are interesting both in themselves and with amazing views. For example, this is how cool it looks from the Old Town Bridge Tower:
Many people come to see this completed ensemble. But not only to push in the whirlwind on spectacular venues. Once you have arrived in Prague, you need to get to know it more multifaceted. In some cases, an evening acquaintance should be supplemented with a rest in a cozy cafe or restaurant, in others - with a concert program.
Surely, while walking around the center of Prague, a fan of various leaflets and booklets will already gather in your hands, inviting you to concerts in numerous Prague churches and theater halls. A musical invitation to a concert will also be added to support colorful advertising leaflets at the most popular venues. Watch a short video of how the trumpeters announce the beginning of the performance in the church on Krzyžovnická Square near:
This is a signal that a concert is about to begin in the Church of St. Francis. By the way, it is unlikely that you will visit this object with a tour. And thanks to the cultural event, you will get two in one: you will listen to music and look at the decoration of the temple.
Free tickets for such evening concerts are almost always available. Unlike visiting the main theaters in Prague. For example, if you dream of visiting the beautiful National Theater, then you need to take care of tickets in advance. Missed this opportunity? So, just walk along the embankments to and admire the architecture of the theater, beautifully lit in the evening.
It is best to take care in advance that tickets for an interesting event in the most famous halls of Prague do not flow past. Right now you can go to official site, where you can get acquainted with the poster of concerts for the dates of your trip to Prague and purchase a ticket.
Suitable establishments in Prague are apparently invisible. On the Old Town Square and next to it on, near the Lesser Town Towers and on the street in Lesser Town, on Wenceslas Square and ... Yes, in many places they are open until late, quite crowded and designed for tourists.
Not everyone likes these hangouts. I will suggest a couple of well-known, but atmospheric establishments where you can have a good time in a relaxed atmosphere.
Cafe Louvre
On the same avenue where it is located, there is Café Louvre, a well-known bohemian institution in Prague.
The Prague Louvre was opened in 1902 under the sign of a cavern / restaurant / winery on Ferdinand Avenue, which is now known as Národní třída. The institution very quickly won the favor of visitors.
The convenient location of the cafe, a decent marble finish inside - everything contributed to the fact that the light of the windows and coffee aromas reached out to the creative public. In addition, billiard halls were opened in Café Louvre, and pretty soon a billiard club was formed, which began to hold tournaments.
Franz Kafka visited the Louvre cafe, as did his friend and biographer Max Brod. The famous Czech actor Eduard Vojan visited (the place where peacocks live is named after him). Among the most famous guests of the institution are Albert Einstein and Karel Capek.
This is what a glorious cafe is in Prague, and at present it has not lost its popularity. This is still a complex that combines cafes, restaurants and billiards. Inside, Café Louvre is represented by bright, spacious rooms.
Cozy, smart, but without unthinkable chic. It is quite possible to go for a cup of coffee and spend time in a pleasant environment. Look for a cafe at Národní třída, 22.
By the way, if you walk along this avenue from Café Louvre in the direction of Na Przykope Street, then turning into one of the arches, you will see an original modern sculpture - the rotating head of Franz Kafka. Read about it. It is also much more interesting to watch this action in the evening than in the daytime. And there is a cafe nearby.
Fat Koala Restaurant
If it seemed to you from my story that there is too much gloss and history in the Louvre in Prague, then I recommend paying attention to a more ordinary place. A cafe or restaurant with a funny name Fat Koala is quite suitable for a pleasant pastime.
Relaxing atmosphere, delicious national dishes. There is also an observation deck on the upper verandas, where you can climb up and look at Prague in the evening. That staircase in the center of the hall is just the exit to the observation deck.
The restaurant serves visitors until 2 am and is located next to on Senovazhnaya street:
This is a fairly convenient location, as both Wenceslas Square and are close. And many tourists choose hotels in these areas so that all the sights are within walking distance. Arrive sometime in late autumn or winter in Prague, stop in the center, and you will drop in for dinner at the Fat Koala cafe. Just in case, take a look at the location on the map:
In addition to the options I have proposed, you may be interested in author's excursions, which are carried out by the inhabitants of Prague. Trust me you will be impressed evening panoramas seasoned with legends, or surprise signature cocktails.
Friends, I just started listing where to go in the evening in Prague. I really hope you continue this list. Many of you have been to this wonderful city and have chosen your corners, where you spent time with pleasure. Please share your discoveries, where to go or what you can see in Prague in the evening.

Where to visit in Prague
So, as I said, there are many places to visit here. I wandered along the central streets, got acquainted with the local architecture and visited the Golden Lane. I really liked everything, but I want to highlight three objects that especially sunk into my soul, these are:
- St. Vitus Cathedral;
- Golden Lane;
- The Charles Bridge.
St. Vitus Cathedral
The cathedral is located on a hill second largest cathedral in Europe (after the Roman). Going inside I was amazed splendor of decoration, beauty of vaults and interior decoration. For about 5 minutes I just stood there and looked at it all with my mouth open! Yes, and I was not the only one. Religious feelings at the sight of all this simply overwhelm! It was here that coronation ceremony all Czech monarchs have had royal weddings.
The Charles Bridge
Bridge 520 meters long connects the banks of the Vltava River. On it you can go from the Old City to Mala Strana. From this bridge you can contemplate the Prague Castle and St. Vitus Cathedral. Built on both sides of the bridge two gothic towers, and decorate it sculptures of saints. The bridge is very cool to walk in the evening. The view is just wonderful!
Golden Lane
The most famous street in Prague. Houses here as if toy before they are small. Rumored to be here lived alchemists who tried to invent the "philosopher's stone". Now excursions are held in these houses, exhibits and medieval utensils are exhibited everywhere. Each house has its own legend. Lived in one of the houses Franz Kafka who used it as an office. Now there is a bookstore.
In conclusion, I want to say that the trip to Prague was very pleasant. Local residents, the city dispose to themselves. Everyone is quite polite and sociable.

I like the capital of the Czech Republic, the beautiful city of Prague with some special Central European flavor and the corresponding “ordung”. I have been there three times over the past five years, because it is convenient to use as a transit point when traveling around Europe. Based on my experience, I want to recommend places that you can go to in Prague if you have a couple of days. 
Cognitive rest in Prague
Perhaps not everyone knows this, but the first university among the Slavs appeared 400 years before our Moscow State University in Prague, in 1348. I could not miss the Charles University, so I went there to walk around the territory, chat with students. The buildings are beautiful, especially at the Faculty of Philosophy.
In addition, I walked to other higher educational institutions that have a beautiful appearance: agrarian, chemical-technological and the local Higher School of Economics.
That's not all, there are still such places for educational recreation in Prague:
- Prague Clementinum with a chic library, which is almost 300 years old.
- Czech National Technical Library. On the contrary, it is modern in the sense of architecture.
- Library of the 17th century in the Strahov Monastery.
- Big and interesting zoo.
- Transport Museum. There are many familiar exhibits - trolleybuses, buses and trams. The Czech Republic was once the world leader in the production of environmentally friendly transport per capita.
Go to parks and museums in Prague
There are many museums and many parks in the capital of the Czech Republic, I was primarily interested in reflecting the history of the country: the military, Jewish, Lobkowicz Palace, post office and brewing, Mozart and Kafka, as well as the National Museum and the National Gallery.
From the green areas of Prague, I want to note the botanical and royal gardens, the Franciscan garden with roses and Letensky gardens with the oldest wooden carousel in Europe.
In the suburbs, it is worth looking into the Divova Sharka, Gostivarzh and Prokopskaya Dolina parks, as well as the canyons of Greater and Lesser America in limestone quarries 30 kilometers from the city. In good weather, they can be reached by bike.

Prague attracts people from different countries with its medieval charm and mystical beauty. In my opinion, it is not necessary to make a specific list of places to visit. Just walking around the city, you are sure to come across something interesting. However, there are unique places in Prague that are definitely worth seeing.
Where to go in Prague
I advise you to definitely visit the places listed below:
- Prague Astronomical Clock or Orloj. This is an old and beautiful astronomical clock that still works properly. You can find them on the Old Town Square, the oldest central square in the city. Every hour before the chimes, a large number of tourists gather to watch the performance of moving figures. It doesn't last long at all.
- Charles Bridge is a medieval stone bridge with thirty amazing sculptures. There are always a lot of tourists here, and only occasionally at night can you find him alone. And the history of the bridge itself is quite mystical. Be sure to read. ;)
- St. Vitus Cathedral - a huge Gothic cathedral that was built over seven centuries! Its sharp spiers can be seen from different sides of the city. Only by being close to this building you can feel all its greatness! It is unlikely that you will be able to photograph the entire cathedral, unless, of course, you have special professional equipment. We didn't succeed. :)
- The Dancing House is also notable, which contrasts sharply with the adjacent buildings. Just look at those curves! They look like a dancing couple...
What else can you see in Prague
Be sure to visit the Prague restaurant. It will be great if you find a place where the Czechs themselves go. I have never liked beer, but in Prague it is somehow special, very tasty. And the prices and sizes of dishes will pleasantly surprise you.
At night, Prague resembles one big party. Young people from all over the world come to the bars and clubs of the city to have a good time. Prague "hums" until the morning and, probably, never sleeps.
I must say that there are many interesting places in Prague. One visit is definitely not enough to see everything.

Prague is a magical city with an amazing fairy tale atmosphere. Here many castles, walking along which you can feel like a real nobleman, quite many unusual museums and exhibition halls and simply beautiful nice little streets with many small cafes. For all this, I really like to come to the Czech capital.
Trip to Karlštejn Castle
There are more than enough interesting sights in Prague, but I advise you to get out of the city a bit to see something really incredible, namely Karlštejn Castle. This is a very beautiful castle built in gothic style that will not leave anyone indifferent. In addition, the whole the town at the foot of the castle is fenced off as a pedestrian zone, so a quiet and peaceful walk is guaranteed. Get to the city can be done in several ways:
- by train without transfers(the cheapest option);
- bus tour(such options can be found either in tourist centers in Prague, or ordered on the Internet);
- by car(along the D5 highway to Loděnice, and then follow the signs to Karlštejn).
Walking the streets of Prague
I consider the ordinary city streets of the capital to be no less an attraction, given that they are not so ordinary. For example, walking around Maltese Garden in Mala Strana, can see John Lennon Wall, which is supplemented with new drawings dedicated to the musician, from the 70s until today. All fans of Lennon's work must visit, and you can even leave something of yourself, because the city authorities do not consider graffiti to be vandalism. Another interesting place that can be found walking around the city, I think Josefov. This is the Jewish quarter of the old city. Formerly, there were Jewish ghetto, but in the 20th century, they decided to renovate the quarter and demolished all the old buildings, and new ones were erected in their place. Today, real estate in Josefov is considered the most expensive in the city.
What museums in Prague are worth visiting?
Among the most unusual museums, I would single out Museum of Communism and Franz Kafka Museum. Each of them is unique in its own way and worth a visit. As for the Kafka Museum, I advise visit it only for adults.
I wish you all an exciting trip to Prague.

Prague is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. City of red roofs, paved roads and magic. Once having visited Prague, you will fall in love with it forever and will definitely return to this romantic and mystical city.
Old Town - the pearl of Prague
You need to start your acquaintance with Prague in the old town. There are many tourist spots on St. Wenceslas Square that offer a lot of interesting excursions of various durations and are not at all expensive in cost: 10-15 euros. But they all start at 10-11 am local time, so you need to come early. They will tell you about the history of Prague, show its most important Attraction:
- The Charles Bridge;
- St. Vitus Cathedral;
- Prague Castle;
- Astronomical clock, etc.
Walk around Prague you can do it yourself real pleasure enjoy its atmosphere and romance, take very beautiful pictures. To visit Prague and not to see Old city is a real crime.
The most beautiful library in the world
After a tour of the old city, I would advise you to visit Strahov yard is not only a cultural and historical center, but also a haven Strahov library - the most beautiful in the world. I will not tell you how many books and rare copies of manuscripts there are. Come and see this library - it is so amazing that there are no words to describe its beauty. For lovers of painting it will also be interesting to see a very rich art gallery located in this library.
Where to go in the evening in Prague
In Prague Lots of places to go in the evening. Your eyes will run wide. To save the romance, I can advise you to buy a ticket for ferry on the Vltava with dinner and live music. Visit Singing Fountains, it is a very beautiful and emotionally exciting spectacle. If you were in Prague and didn't go to beer pub- you have not been not only in Prague, but also in the Czech Republic as a whole. Visit bar Vaclavske namesti- there is a very original serving of drinks, I was happy as a child when the train brought me my glass of beer. If you are a lover of strong cocktails and absinthe, then you need to go straight to Hemingway Bar. This is a classic cocktail bar with a beautiful interior and great bartenders. If you want to combine a trip to a bar and a nightclub, then I would advise Groove Bar. On the ground floor of this bar, there is upbeat music that will make you dance until you drop, and on the second floor you can sit with friends, drink wonderful wine, delicious cocktails and taste excellent draft beer. Especially try the dark one - it is delicious in the Czech Republic.
