The Best Nightclubs In Prague

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.

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.

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.
