vikingTON Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Prague, I presume? Try getting your way over to Riegrovy Sady, it's a massive park around the working-class area of Žižkov, and has the city's largest outdoor beer garden parked right in the centre. Or you can do what everyone else does anyway, and bring a carryout (or a joint) with you to watch the sun set over the Old Town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are staying near the Old Town so will be there a lot no doubt but like the sound of the beer garden so will look into that definitely.

Depends on what you want to do,you'll get mobbed in a group that size anywhere in the city center by reps for strip clubs and guys selling drugs. From knowing lot of people in Prague and spending a couple of years living there I would offer the following... The strip clubs are strip clubs despite what they tell you outside,there are only 1-2 places in the center that will offer extra services,Darlings advertises it's self as the best stag do venue in Prague and it probably is. Don't buy drugs on the street,there is a bar not far from the Dubliner pub that you can buy anything like that,the guy who runs it it from Dundee coincidentally........ If you want to know any specifics and don't want folk on here to know your going hooring it...send me a DM and I'll let you know. It's a good city and you will probably love it,the only downside would be if you got robbed/ripped off and it happens quite a lot there if your naive enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullywee Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Sir Toby's Hostel is excellent and can be insanely cheap if you're lucky. It has it's own pub and I believe an outside terrace as well. It's in Holesovice across the river from the old city, but you'll be using the public transport anyway so it doesn't matter. Ended up staying there and it was absolutely fantastic. On the last night a singer/songwriter from Texas who was touring Europe for three months played a free gig in the basement and after that I met the son of the man that wrote the Home and Away theme tune. You just can't get better than that. Unfortunately my time in Prague coincided with the second bout of flooding so the torrential rain stopped me from doing a lot of the stuff I wanted to do. Krakow is excellent though, extremely picturesque and there's a lot of cool stuff to do as well as Auschwitz being close enough to visit. One of my pals got scammed out of almost £900 though so if anyone is heading out there then they need to be careful, especially if they meet Russian girls that want to go somewhere for a drink.

Really looking forward to it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paco Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Watched the one in Sunny Beach last week. Classic Brit abroad, speaking to the locals as if they're blind, deaf and dumb by speaking ridiculously slowly and signing what she meant. Of course the answers came back in better English than she can speak. Looked her up and she actually appears to be a relatively serious journalist. I assumed she'd won Big Brother or something.

SodjesSixteenIncher Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 On phone so can't post decent links but there's a Connor Woodman Prague undercover thing which is one of the most inadvertently hilarious things going. At one point he's in some unlit cupboard talking to a prostitute about liking Prague's architecture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the scam city one, It was one of the better Prague ones, they normally just end up showing revelations that Prague has lap-dancing and brothels and people can get ripped off in them, Like most major cities Stacey Dooley's approach was to say that every man who's been on a stag do to Prague has A. definitely shagged a hooker B. Didn't wear a condom C. Probably has aids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SodjesSixteenIncher Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 That Stacey Dooley is basically an inverse Danny Dyer. She travels about rough parts of the world pretending to be horrified and distressed about what's going on. He goes about rough parts of the world pretending to enjoy it whilst he fucking shits himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanky_ffc Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Saw the one a few weeks ago about Thailand which focused on the partying and drug culture. Could have been really interesting but seemed a bit dumbed down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Seeing as this is *apparently* a Prague guide now, it seems the best place to share a couple of excellent travel resources. First, the place to go when trying to pick out a good local pub or beer garden (and the better beers) from the 17 million choices in Prague: http://www.praguebeergarden.com/ Get the Google map location/address, bung them onto the inevitable city map, job done. And also a seemingly no longer updated site detailing other good places to visit in the the Czech Republic, nearer and further away from Prague: http://www.outsideprague.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordecai Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Krakow is the only place where someone has shouted at me calling me a cucumber...I turned and ran just so they didn't get the satisfaction of seeing the tears streaming down my face. In all seriousness, Krakow is probably the nicest city I've been to in Poland - but it's also the most expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordecai Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Does anyone know of any places or decent websites where I could find accommodation for 3 months in Krakow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooky Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Heading to Prague in April with my boyfriend for a few nights over my birthday. I was just curious if anyone had any must do suggestions, touristy or not. Outside of Prague, is there anywhere else in the Czech Republic that might be worth a visit for a day? Also, if anyone here has been there often/lived there, I'm assuming that since it's fairly Central Europe, the country has a decent tolerance to the LGBT community? A quick look online suggests it's quite an accepting place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 A day trip to Karlštejn castle is a standard option, about 50 minutes from Prague. Organised trips are available or you can take the suburban train to Beroun and get off at Karlštejn's village station. Plzeň has the famous brewery and a nice centre and is an hour and a half away by train. The site 'Outside Prague' has quite a few suggestions.
