Prague is likely my favourite capital city in Central Europe. But it’s not just a city to explore during the day. Instead, I prefer to take a slower pace during the day and enjoy all the fun things to do in Prague at night!
This Czech Republic city really comes alive at night time.
The fairy-tale castle illuminated against the night sky. The bridges spanning the Vltava River, each with its own unique story. The Old Town Square, where you can feel the history of the city come alive around you.
Whether you’re looking for a romantic evening out, a fun night on the town, or to explore the rich history of this medieval city with one of the many Prague night tours, here are some of the best things to do in Prague at night.

17 Things to Do in Prague at Night
1. Beer Bath & Massage
If you’re not aware, Prague has a massive beer culture. In fact, the Czech Republic is the top beer-consuming nation (per capita) in the world!
So it’s no surprise that you can find an actual beer bath in Prague.
Located in the Majestic Plaza Hotel, Beer Spa Bernard is a great place to relax and try something unique. Like soak in a tub filled with beer while sipping (or slugging) unlimited Bernard Beer!
Beer baths are a medical tradition dating back to the Middle Ages and are said to have many health benefits, including improved circulation, skin moisturizing, and detoxification.
As it’s a private soak (for you plus one) you can either wear your swimsuit…. or not! Whatever floats your boat! There’s also the option to add a massage on afterwards. Even if you’re not a beer drinker, this is a fun experience to try while in Prague.
This is a super popular unique experience in Prague, so you’ll need to book your spot in advance.

You may not think it, but Prague is actually a great city for live music.
If you’re a fan of jazz, then you’ll love Jazz Dock. This is one of the best places in Prague to enjoy live jazz, with world-class musicians performing every night.
The atmosphere is relaxed and intimate, making it the perfect place to enjoy a drink and some great music.
Oh, and it’s a floating bar! Jazz Dock is located on the banks of the Vltava river, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a sunset while listening to some smooth tunes.
