Uber and Bolt are cheap and safer than taxis — ideal if you're out after midnight.
Czechs value personal space but are warm once you engage — don’t hesitate to strike up conversation.
Don’t over-plan nightlife. Prague’s best surprises often happen while just wandering or chatting with locals in pubs.
