For many years, Prague has been the go-to city for an exciting night! Herds of young, college-aged adults hop from bar to bar on a mission to have the best night they will never remember. Even though Prague is the home to the largest music club in central Europe, many other smaller ones compete to attract the largest crowds.
Nothing could be prove this more true than Prague. However, although the combination of cheap, good alcohol, and cheap sex with beautiful slavic women can seem like a paradise for some, there are some things one should know in order to have the best night that they may or may not remember. It seems common knowledge that there are places that locals go, and then there are places that have been designed to take advantage of unsuspecting tourists.
Like every big city that attracts mass tourism, Prague is no stranger to scams. The thing you need to know about Prague, is that it is very safe in terms of violence. When I was a tour guide, many tourists, especially female ones, would ask me about whether or not it was safe to walk around at night.
My answer then and now is Yes. Now there are certain places to avoid at night like the National Museum , but not because of the threat of violence, but the crime most commonly committed — pickpocketing. But to avoid that, you just need to be extra cautious. And this goes for tourist traps. When you are walking around at night, that is when all the crooks come out. There have been numerous accounts of people being pickpocketed while being solicited by street prostitutes. Prostitution in the CR is legal, but running a brothel is not.
I once had an encounter of an individual contacting me on Karlova Ulice. He started offering me weed. He got same response, and walked away. Street drug dealers are the epitome of what scammers are in Prague. Not only are you likely to get pickpocketed, but if you choose to buy drugs from them, you most likely are buying fake drugs. If you want to get buy actual weed, your best bet is to ask a bartender. You may encounter several promoters of the different clubs.
