The capital's after-dark activities are found in several locations, each with its own character and risks. The area round the Old Town Square is full of travellers, busy bars, and performers on the street. However, they also bring in pickpockets who are at home in crowded spaces. Wenceslas Square, the busy centre of the city, contains large hotels, gambling houses, and late-night clubs. However, the side streets are home to expensive "gentlemen's clubs" and taxi drivers who prey on the drunk. Žižkov, an unrefined and authentic district to the east, presents a more local experience, with its quirky bars and music venues that are hidden away. However, the dimly lit side streets of the area mean you need to be careful after midnight. The area by the river, especially the part around the old spa that is now the club Karlovy Lázně, is in great demand but can be rather chaotic, with long queues and occasional arguments.

The "expensive drinks" con is common in nightclubs that are full of visitors. A person you have just encountered, who is friendly, offers you a drink; the bill then comes with costs that are very high — often in the thousands of crowns — and a security guard insists on payment. Before you place an order, always be certain to have looked at the menu and its prices. And never accept a drink from a person you have not known for any length of time.

The "mock police" trick has people acting as plainclothes officers, who ask to look at your passport and your wallet, and then they take the cash. Genuine Czech police have official badges and will never ask to look at your cash. If you have any doubt, you should insist on phoning the genuine police number (158).

The exchange counters that are located near the nightlife areas often have rates that seem appealing, but they apply charges that are not stated or they change the way the exchange is calculated. Use ATMs inside bank branches or reputable exchange offices like those in the city centre.

Before you leave the hotel, you should tell the hotel's service desk about your plans. And take a card from the hotel that has the address written on it. It is often the case that taxi drivers say they do not know English. Having a written destination avoids miscommunication. Take only the money you need for the evening, and also carry one card and a photocopy of your passport. You should leave the actual passport in the hotel's safe. Use a money belt or a bag that you wear cross-body and keep in front. You should also keep your phone and your money in different pockets, both of which should be closed with a zip.
