Prague's nightlife is located in several separate neighbourhoods, each having its own character and its own dangers. The Old Town Square and the streets that radiate from it are crowded with sightseers, active bars, and performers. But they also appeal to pickpockets who succeed in crowded areas. Wenceslas Square, which is the city's main busy street, contains large hotels, gambling establishments, and clubs that stay open late. Yet the smaller roads nearby hide pricey "gentlemen's clubs" and taxi touts who target intoxicated visitors. Žižkov, which is a raw and authentic area to the east, provides a more local experience with its unusual bars and music venues that are not above ground. Yet the alleyways that are not brightly lit require caution after midnight. The area by the water, and particularly the zone around Karlovy Lázně (a club which occupies a former spa building and has multiple floors), is popular but can be rather chaotic, with long queues and occasional trouble.

The con of overcharging for drinks is present in many clubs that tourists go to. You are invited for a drink by a person you do not know, who appears friendly; the bill that is brought has prices that are very high — often in the thousands — and a doorman who insists that you must pay. Before you order, always be careful to look at the prices on the menu. And never agree to have a drink that is offered by someone you have only just met.

The scheme known as "fake police" occurs when people pretend to be police officers who are not in uniform, and they ask to see both your passport and your money, after which they take your money for themselves. Real police in the Czech Republic carry official identification and never ask to inspect your money. Insist on calling the actual police number (158) if you are uncertain.

Currency exchange booths near nightlife districts often display attractive rates but add hidden fees or manipulate the calculation. For safety, use cash machines that are inside bank premises, or exchange offices with a good reputation, for instance those in the city centre.

Before you set off, it is wise to inform the hotel's reception of your intentions. And do not forget to take a card with the hotel's address. Taxi drivers regularly pretend not to understand English. Having a written destination avoids miscommunication. Carry with you only the cash for the evening, plus one credit card and a photocopy of your passport. Keep the original passport in the safe in your hotel room. Use a money belt or a bag that you wear cross-body and keep in front. It is wise to keep your phone and wallet in different zipped pockets.
