The scruffy, beloved pub district east of the centre — said to have more bars per head than anywhere in Europe, under a giant TV tower with crawling babies on it. Cheap, local and up all night.

On your doorstep
What you’re living next to if you stay here.
- 7.A Czech beer hall — Beer is the national religion, brewed better and poured cheaper here than anywhere — a half-litre of ice-cold Pilsner costs less than water. Find an old-school pivnice, order by holding up fingers, and eat goulash or svíčková with it.
- 15.Žižkov's bars — A night out in Žižkov is the real Prague after dark — dive pubs, cellar clubs and cheap beer with no dress code and no closing time, all within a stumble of each other. Skip the tourist-trap old-town clubs; this is where the city drinks.
