1. Have a wine or beer bath
If you are a wine or beer lover, your dreams may come true at Lázně Pramen. You can soak in a jetted wood bath tub with red wine, white wine, or beer, all while drinking your beverage of choice and eating fresh fruit. There are beer taps in the room so you can fill your glass as many times as you like. If you opted for the wine, you will receive a bottle of red or white to enjoy while you relax in the tub.
2. Take a Nuclear Bunker Tour
There are not many opportunities to visit a Nuclear Bunker, so this tour is a must while you are in Prague. This ex-Soviet nuclear bunker is in a decrepit area of the city and was made during the Cold War. Located five stories underground, it is jam-packed with paraphernalia including uniforms, gas masks, guns, and medical kits. The haunting ambiance will send chills down your spine. The bunker transforms into a nightclub, so you can have a few drinks there in the evening. Tours cost 600 CZK (24 USD) for adults and 500 CZK (20 USD) for students.
3. Rock climbing in a bar
Most people don’t think of rock climbing and drinking together. It is more common to go climbing then go for a few drinks after. Boulder Bar has combined the two in one place. You can work up a thirst in the back room rock climbing then go into the bar and have a few drinks. Some people have tried it the other way around, having a few drinks then going climbing, though it’s not the order I would recommend.
4. Visit the Shoe Monument

In 1955 the world’s largest Joseph Stalin statue was unveiled in Prague, in an area called Stalin Square. Seven short years later, in 1962, it was destroyed with 800 kg of explosives. Stalin Square, by the Metronome in Letná Park, is now known as one of the skateboarding meccas of the world. It is commonly compared to Pier 7 in San Francisco and the MACBA in Barcelona. A huge Metronome now sits in place of the Stalin statue, which attracts many tourists every year. Next to the Metronome is a long wire that stretches across the park, which is home to dozens of sneakers. People from all over the world go to the skate park and leave their mark with their shoes. It has been a tradition for over twenty years. Scenic views of Prague can also be seen from the square.
