I went in November, I made a thread in random banter I think.

Go to technology museum, much bikes.
There's a gun range that I wish I'd been to on the thread.

I didn't find any 'bad' areas while I was there, despite using the underground (metro?) several times and managing to get lost walking around a few times.

We stayed quite near Wenceslass square (which isn't square at all) and this is the main street in the city centre. Don't eat or drink there, go two streets over and you'll pay half the price.

Sex toy museum is worth a look, just to snigger at the steam powered dildo.

Generally speaking food and drink are dirt cheap. I ate in a restaurant right under the Astro clock in the old town square and between me and the Mrs we had a 3 course meal and a bottle of wine and the bill came to less than £50.

Prepare outrage if charged more than £1.50 for a beer.

By the way, pretty much what dydey90 says. Well I wouldn't pay £50 for a meal but then, it is not much in comparison with the avg. UK wages.

And yes, underground/subway is called ''Metro'' (yes, just like the video game). Which is a point of interest on its own, some of the stations were desinged under comunism and left unchanged after the 1989. I was quite impressed. It's also very cheap, very easy to use and very quick.

Beer, £1.50 is alright even by Czech standards. Change your £££ to CZK in a bank, check the banks in the UK. Avoid Cashpoints (exchange places), they won't give you a good exchange rate, as it is their bussiness to exchange money.

Been, lovely looking city and far more open minded with regards stag activities if that is your thing. Excursions for shooting was good fun and try out the local foods. Couple of English bars if you need a greasy breakfast.
Dont wear any BCF insignia or this weirdo calling himself Rhyno shows up and stalks you.

Cheers boys n' gurls

Need to speak to the best man to see what has been organised, shooting stuff would be good though

[RhynoCZ]

There's also a race track ''Autodrom Most'', 60 miles from Prague. Maybe they rent cars for the track days.

I went for the GP in 07 then again recently for a stag. We went go-karting here https://www.pragaarena.com/

Most decent drinking places are in/near the old town. Go into side streets and you can find beers for £1 a go.

James Dean is a far cooler than it sounds 50s club but gets busy, plus there’s an 80s place opposite if that’s your thing. Gold Fingers seems the most popular strip club and is suitably expensive.

There are some very nice and affordable restaurants on moored boats on the river. I’m not sure if it’s still there but avoid the crappy 5 storey club by the Charles Bridge.

Also, beware of rip-off cab drivers when you're drunk. If possible agree a price beforehand.

Dated a few Czech girls over the years, know the place well.

Avoid the main square to go eat (where the fancy clock is), overpirced and not as good. get yourself a side street resturaunt, the Czech food is awesome, Czech beer is even better, nothing like the rubbish we have in the UK. Might be just me but I get very mild/non-existant hangovers form a session, less chemicals in it, who knows.

As above, cabbies are crooks on the pissed up Brits, be wary or even better, use their easy to use tubes busses or trams, they are MEGA cheap, you buy tickets in terms of time, not distance and you need to stamp the tickets on entry to any of them, they look like a yellow box on the tram/busses. There are undercover insectors, so don't try cheat the system, it's really not worth it for the cost of a ticket. You can get tickets form any ciggy booth or there are machines dotted around, again yellow. I used to stock up on a couple of each for a weekend.

A big tip when eating in Czech is 100 Koruna, average is 20-50 Koruna (for a table of 2-3 people)

As a stag do, you'll be fine, most bars/resturaunts speak English now and Prague is pretty touristy and full of Stag do-ers, so you won't stick out....Too much

Oh, the Czech women.....OH MY GOD

Prague is my favourite city, so much to see, so much to do, so much to drink.

Enjoy.

If you are into Historical stuff then the Bridge of Saints is a magnet for that sort of shit. There are a load of other historical bit near there for starters.

Plus one for the teck museum. I went two days n a row.

Food cheap service polite Watch out for whankers doing tours on Those Giro scooter things one the fecking pavements. I almost had to knock one of them out when they wouldn't give way when I was walking on the pavement. Prix.
