The city's nocturnal scene is located in several areas, each with its own feeling and its own specific risks. The Old Town Square and the streets that radiate from it are crowded with sightseers, active bars, and performers. Yet they also attract thieves who operate in busy spaces. Wenceslas Square, which is the city's main busy street, contains large hotels, gambling establishments, and clubs that stay open late. But the smaller streets that run off it contain expensive "gentlemen's clubs" and taxi drivers who take advantage of drunk people. The district of Žižkov, an unpolished and real neighbourhood to the east, gives a more native experience with its odd pubs and music spaces that are not on the surface. However, the dark lanes of the area require you to be cautious after the hour of midnight. The riverside quarter, especially the part near Karlovy Lázně (a club that is housed in an old spa and has several levels), is very popular but is also somewhat chaotic, with long queues and the occasional argument.

The "expensive drinks" con is common in nightclubs that are full of visitors. An unknown person who acts in a friendly manner suggests that you have a drink; the bill then appears with very high prices — often several thousand crowns — and a bouncer who tells you to pay. Always make sure that you see the prices on the menu before you tell the server what you want. And never accept a drink from a person you have not known for any length of time.

The "fake police" scam involves individuals posing as plainclothes officers who demand to see your passport and wallet, then pocket your cash. Authentic Czech police will always have official identification and never ask to see your cash. Insist on calling the actual police number (158) if you are uncertain.

The currency exchange points near the entertainment districts often have rates that seem favourable, but they have charges that are not shown or they alter the calculation. For safe banking, use machines that are inside bank branches, or use exchange services that are recommended, like the ones in the city centre.

Before heading out, inform your hotel concierge of your plans. And be sure to take a card from the hotel which shows its address. Taxi drivers will usually claim to have no knowledge of English. Having the address on paper will stop any communication problems. You should carry only the cash that you will require for the night, together with one credit card and a copy of your passport. Leave the original document in the hotel's safe. Use a money belt or a cross-body bag worn in front. Keep your telephone and your money in different pockets, and be sure that both pockets are zipped.
