Prague is home to some of the craziest and most diverse nightclubs in the world. From underground jazz joints to five-storey clubs, this city has it all. Most of the action is centred around Old Town and Malá Strana, but neighbourhoods such as Smíchov and Vinohrady also have a few places that are more than worth visiting.

From the outside, this nightclub may not look as flashy as the rest of the clubs in Prague. However, Chapeau Rouge has been giving Prague locals and visitors an unforgettable night out since it opened in 1919. Once you step inside, you’ll find yourself in a three-storey building with four bars and three stages, each one crazier than the last. Here, you can choose between drinking at a classy bar blasting salsa and pop music or dancing with your friends to electronic and dub music. Its main bar area is most often dedicated to electro music. As you go deeper into this underground nightclub, you will explore the best that Chapeau Rouge has to offer: indie music, theatre tunes and avant-garde multimedia projections.

Mecca’s extravagant interior sets it apart from other clubs in the city, but there’s more to it than its unique design. The club’s large and well-organised parties can put a fun twist on your weekend celebrations. Events aren’t always open to the general public, so check the website before dropping by. Although Mecca isn’t in a central location, that doesn’t deter tourists or locals from paying a visit to this bustling club. World-renowned DJs such as Don Diablo, NERVO and MAKJ perform at Mecca, making it the go-to club for techno and electronic music lovers and partygoers.

8. Watch local performers at Retro Music Hall
