Prague is full of magical adventures and attractions and it provides endless excitement to every visitor of this beautiful, heritage city. Some say that Prague is even more beautiful at night when it has fewer crowds, unique evening tours and stunning monuments and buildings, lit in different colors. The illuminated statues and pillars add an element of romance to an already fairytale-like city, making it more breathtaking against the dark night sky. Wandering the streets, a yellow glow settles like a welcoming halo, softening the sharp edges of centuries-old architectural monuments, and polishing the cobblestones, embedded in old neighborhood back alleys. To start an unforgettable night trip, take note of these top nine amazing activities, to make the most of this Czech capital city.
1. Eat sausage in Wenceslas Square at midnight
Eat a Wenceslas Square sausage like a local, by trying it around at 1 am and with a beer in hand. Some people say that there is something about the midnight hour that makes the atmosphere really special and unique. Try this culinary delicacy served with a glob of mustard and a heap of sauerkraut at least once, during your visit to Prague.

One of the top local things to do is head to one of Prague’s beer gardens and the crowd favorite is none other than the Letná Beer Garden. With an amazing panorama, perched on Letná Hill, the city unfolds before your eyes and you can see as far as Žižkov and Vyšehrad. You can buy a takeaway beer from a small food stand and grab a picnic table, or sit on a terrace after you order a liquid bread (local way of saying beer) and other snacks, such as grilled kielbasa.

For non-stop Latin action, Jam Café is the best hangout for you. With pleasant staff and well-made cocktails, this exciting bar is a recommended place for anyone looking for a slice of South American flavor. Jam Café claims to be the first “casting café” in Europe, where you can daydream about your forthcoming show-biz success, while enjoying a cup of tea or a wide selection of spirits.
To experience the most out of this bar, go on a Monday night for swing lessons, followed by a mini-party, or try to visit on Tuesday night for a free Salsa dance lesson. But if you feel like dancing the Tango, go every Thursday night.
