Where to Drink in Prague

Oh Prague, how we love your Gothic architecture and cheap beer. We'd write a love song, but our talents lie more in finding you the best places to drink!

We can't go any further without mentioning Kizkov which has more bars per capita than any other European city (*books flight*). It's super trendy without having to break the bank. Around Old Town Square you've got a whole host of pubs and bars amongst the stunning architectural triumphs. These venues are dotted about which makes for a fun boozy walkabout.

Trying a local brew is not to be missed, and (not to be a killjoy, but) we'd recommend checking the ABV before downing a vodka shot - some of the stuff in Prague is pretty knock-out - you've been warned!

Sights & Sounds

Sights - The Old Town Square is well worth a look with some great bars and restaurants. Another interesting Square to sit and watch the world go by (with a little caffeine therapy for any sore hen heads) is Wenceslas Square where the good king looked out on the feast of Stephen.

One of the city's quirkier buildings is known as the 'Dancing House' on the Rašínovo nábřeží overlooking the river, so named as it looks like a dancing couple.

Sounds - One of the Prague's hottest clubs is Karlovy Lazne, not only does it have chilled cocktails and ice-cool DJs it even has its own Ice Pub where the furniture and walls and even glasses are all made from ice. Smetanovo nábřeží 198/1

If you really want to party in style GoHen can arrange Guest List Nightclub Entry.

Shopping in Prague

Palladium - If you like to keep all your shopping under one roof then head to Palladium, the city's largest mall (200 shops!) is ideal for a little hen party retail therapy.
Pariszka Street - If you fancy a bit of window shopping head to Paris Street for the very finest designer names. And as you peak through the window, those really long numbers you can see that look like stock codes... They're actually the prices! How the other half live, sigh.

Getting Around Prague

Heading into Prague from the airport, we'd advise a bus. They're regular and a lot less expensive than a taxi (more money for cocktail 'o' clock). In fact, on the whole, public transport in Prague is pretty good. Trams, buses and underground trains are all regular, well maintained and can all be accessed with a pass that allows you unlimited travel over a set time period. Alternatively, you can buy an eTicket which will be sent directly to your smartphone.

Hen Days

Prague is slightly bonkers in the most fantastic way. The city's three main loves are definitely alcohol, chocolate and dancing which makes it ideal for any hen party. And it has its fair share of crazy activities including Cocktail Mixing, Tank Driving, and White Water Rafting. Alternatively there are plenty of more relaxing options on offer See more hen activities in Prague.

Hen Nights

If you fancy a tipple every now and again then Prague will welcome you with open arms and raised glasses. It's figuring out what to go in those glasses that is the problem as there are some wonderfully weird local brews that are well worth trying (but be warned, some of it is like rocket fuel so please drink responsibly). As for nightlife there is a massive array of fantastic pubs and clubs. GoHen can arrange a Guided Pub Crawl, Restaurants, Guestlist Clubbing or even a cheeky Strip Dinner and more Prague nightlife...

Is there a pub crawl ban in Prague?

As of October 2024, Prague have introduced a ban on organised pub crawls from 10 pm until 6 am.

By this time, you'll probably be in one of the many bars before the clubs get busy anyway, so it won't impact you too much.

It's time for a hen party in Prague!

Prague has got to be one of the iconic party destinations. This bewitching city has so much to offer hen parties. One of Europe's oldest cities, with well over 1 million inhabitants, Prague is decadent and elegant; a labyrinth of restaurants, bars, culture and clubs.

Why: Reasons to celebrate a weekend in Prague

'The City of a Hundred Spires', 'The Golden City', 'The Mother of All Cities'... for centuries, Prague has enchanted and inspired its visitors. As a top European hen weekend, Prague is up there as one that everyone should experience... and there's no better way to see it than on your hen weekend! An amazing city, your nearest and dearest girl friends for company, and one of the best reasons to celebrate ever - it's an irresistible combination! It's beautiful, classy and cultural, meaning there's plenty for the girls to see and do in their downtime, but it's also one of the most popular tourist hotspots in Europe, so it's also buzzing and bubbling with a vibrant nightlife and thriving restaurant and hotel scene. If you're looking for somewhere that offers round the clock entertainment set against one of the most stunning backdrops ever, a Prague hen do is the mother of all hen weekends!

What: What do you do on a Prague hen weekend?

Almost anything you want to - Prague has nearly 30 different daytime activities, covering from high octane water sports to laid back massages to giggly and girly cocktail making. The nightlife shouldn't need any introduction - it's famed as one of the best cities for beer in the world, but the low prices and huge variety extend further than just ale. Prague also has a reputation for all night partying, cheap drinks, wine, cocktails, and absinthe - though we'd recommend steering well clear of the latter! Getting the days and nights in balance is necessary for a great Prague hen weekend - no one wants to sit in the hotel room all evening, but you don't want to be nursing a hangover all day either! We'd suggest a weekend plan that includes orientating yourself with a city bus tour in the morning, stopping for lunch before seeing a few of Prague's gorgeous landmarks, something like cocktail making or wine tasting to begin the evening, then filling up with a saucy strip dinner before you hit the clubs - and there's still plenty of time the next morning for a bit of pampering or shopping before you head home!
