    Prague

    I'd avoid going for the weekend if I were you. If your able to go between Mon-Thursday I'd recommend you doing so, much more pleasant experience and less aggro. Otherwise your in for Temble Bar on a Saturday night x100.

    It's a nice place, cheap if you drink in the 'local' bars and I found the food to be excellent. The city is best explored on foot and easy to get around (I don't think I went on one tram or bus whilst I was there). It's definitely worth a visit. I went with the missus so I didn't partake in any of the 'dodgy' night scene activities that some men go for . A nutter who works in our building and likes to pay for sex had a great time......... they were doing two for one offers and it sounded sleazy as hell. But hey he was a happy man.

    I went on a stag for 4 nights its a mental place constantly bugged to go into strip shows ( brothels basically ) or buy drugs. Place i found was dirty and fairly dodgy allthough we saw no trouble. the local bars are cheaper the tourist bars are about 3 euro a pint . Food is good enough again local places are better and cheaper.

    Be carefull of taxi's a agree a price before hand they are all out to rob you 3 of the lads got charged 50 euro to literally go around the corner ! we walked and arrived 2 mins before them !!!

    Very big mafia presence lots of brothels where women are basically kidnapped and forced to sleep with men.

    I didnt like it the because of the sleaze but it you can get away from that the people under 25 are super friendly over 25 will try to ripp you off is what i found.

    Id say go but keep your wits about you and the small fella in your pants

    I've been there twice and liked the place. Local booze is cheap and food is
    decent. 1st trip was sightseeing/p!ssup and we had a blast, 2nd time was
    for the match over there.

    Stay clear of the seedy element and you should have a good time.

    Prague is excellent, as is Krakow.

    Avoid Bratislava and Riga.

    Only an opinion.

    Went with my girlfriend last year and had a great time. Make sure to check out the Jewish cemetary, and the Communist museum (it's overhead a McDonalds ), other than that the food and drink is nice and cheap, the people are friendly, and it's a great city to just stroll around in and see where life takes you. Make sure to be on the Charles Bridge when the sun starts setting as well, it's just a nice feeling

    Basically, there's a bridge and a castle.

    Other than that, all there is, is a load of pubs and brothels. If that's what you're into, fine. If not, stay away.

    Theres pubs and brothels in every city in the World, Dublin included.

    At least Prague is a pretty city.

    I was there for four nights and didnt visit a brothel once.

    Just booked for 3nights here(Monday-Thursday), for 3 people, later this June. I drink the odd time, the other lad doesn't, and the other does(but doesn't admit it) but is only 17...so don't think a lot of drink will be had. Is there anything interesting to do or see that doesn't involve wild nightlife?

    A friend of mine is still mentally scarred from this place. Him and his missus weren't mad about Prague. Haven't been myself.
