Karlovy Lazne, Prague

Nobody walks out with this place with their wallet, cash, pursue. Karlovy Lazne is a pick pocket. The biggest pub crawl in Praha gets here at 12:30 am every night of the week and the picket pockets are in waiting for all the drunk tourists. Don't go here. If you do, heaven forbid, don't have any money in your pockets or it will be gone. The pub crawl is leading the lambs (tourist) to the slaughter house (roma). Its a bad scene. All the pub crawl gets ripped by the pick pockets. They see your pub crawl wrist bans, they know you have been drinking, they watch which pocket you pull your wallet out, they pretend to be your pub crawl buddy, shake you hands like a buddy, try to get your shoulders up and away from your pockets and then boom they jack you, lightening quick. You case them if you notice, try to get your money back, no dice. The bouncers don't care. They are probably in on it! You complain about your wallet being stolen, you get kicked out. DON"T RISK GOING TO KARLOVY LAZNE. Its not worth it. Every single night at least 10 tourist on the pub crawl get jacked.

This place is actually an old Swimming pool building - on some of the floors you climb down into the stone pool where the dance floor is - very euro atmosphere all over. There's a different scene on each floor - soul and jungle, cheesey pop, rock, dance and trance. My personal favourite was the Euro-Techno floor. An old statue beamed laser beams through the mist as we joined the germans in their athletic paced dancing.

That particular weekend the Dutch footie fans were in town to watch Holland spank the Czech Republic and then they marched around town in hilarious orange costumes with a brass band, celebrating their victory. This didn't go down well with our Czech friend Yarda. He wasn't too happy on the cheesey pop floor where all the Dutch fans were hanging out. We felt a bit guilty about joining the orange fans as they did the conga right past him, but those crazy dutch guys are a lot of fun and we just had to join in. Then we had some czech beer in the chillout room on the top floor and my mate Paresh chatted up some gorgeous girls.

At the end of the night, the streets were full of sausage vendors - just what you need after a lot of drink.

Euro-Tastic Night, mate.

Dress Code: Orange jumpsuit. Afro Wig. Clown shoes.

This is the club that all the young tourists check out during their stay in Prague. Understandably so. Karlovy Lane has got three or four floors open each night playing different music (depending on the night and size of the crowd). The crowd is young 20s students. The drinks are relatively cheap compared to most clubs, and there's music for everyone's taste somewhere in the club. The place is huge and crowded. Nobody here looks too well dressed or looks like a local. Although the club is full of tourists, I found it to be somewhat impersonal. Everybody was trying to act too cool or nobody was that friendly outside their immediate group. I am normally feel at home at a nightclub, but didn't really fit well with this crowd. Maybe I'm just too old... I did strike up a great conversation with one of the bartenders, but otherwise, the night was otherwise forgettable. Still if you are looking for a place to go, this isn't a bad choice. Its located right next to the Charles Bridge, and the cover is relatively cheap (maybe 200 Kc?).

Dress Code: None I can tell, but always try to look good for a nightclub...

Well if you like to dance, have a different kind of music place, this is the place for you. There are fifth floors of different mood, being the last one more of a rest area, (or trow up area). I found many foreigns around since this is suposed to be the bigest disco in central europe its one place that dance lovers must go for sure.

There are five floors each playing different genres, so what ever music you like- there is something to suit from R n b to rock, techno to cheese! This place has lost its charm since the re-firb, however probably meets health and safety standards now. After an evening of dancing you can go and chill out on the top floor on a sofa or huge bean-bags. There are lots of little rooms all over the place with pools tables in, computers, and what ever else you can think of.

Dress Code: Relaxed
