New Year's Eve in
PraguePrague is a popular destination for New Year's Eve. The celebrations are enjoyed by one and all: the young and old, the quiet and romantic, the wild and carefree. There are entertainment options to suit all tastes. Some people choose a restaurant with an all-inclusive night of fine food, drinks and dancing. Others prefer a romantic, candlelit dinner 'à deux'. Some bar crawl and chance on finding a club after the fireworks. Others buy tickets for a party in a club or music bar. Finally, there are the ever popular Party Boats & Jazz Cruises. |

Broadly, there are two options for where to go for the fireworks. The first option is to head for anywhere that is on or overlooks the river. This means somewhere near to Charles Bridge, Prague Castle or on Petrin Hill. As well as on the streets, people gather on the terraces at the river restaurants and on the top decks of the river boats, which congregate around Charles Bridge. The atmosphere by the river is fun and relaxed, as people take in the beauty of fireworks over water, with the backdrop of Charles Bridge and Prague Castle. | | |
The second option for midnight in Prague is the squares: the Old Town Square and Wenceslas Square. Large crowds gather as the atmosphere builds. The Old Town Square is the most 'adventurous'. Czechs LOVE setting off fireworks, and although there is an aerial display, many fireworks at the Old Town Square are handheld and fired by the crowd. On the whole it is safe, but only just!
Whatever your choice, Prague is a terrific city for a New Year's Eve party, so we hope you enjoy it. For more information see our New Year's Eve Planner |
