The Black Theatre Prague

The Black Theatre is a special kind of performance, mostly without any words, just music.

I saw a nice Black Theatre performance, called Yellow submarine.

The main principle of the Black theatre is a black stage, and the actors are totally or partly dressed in black as well.
So you may just see the parts of the body that are not dressed in black.

Dress Code: NO special dress-code, simply make sure you get a ticket in time - these performances are mostly booked out in advance

Address: Na Prikope 10

Directions: This Black Theatre is next to the Casino of Prague in Rytirska

Narodni Divalo / The National Theatre at night

The theatre was under re-construction while I was there, but attending a performance might be a good chance to make some pics of the wonderful interior.
I'll do that next time / most probably at around Christmas

And before walking home, take a walk along the lovely Art Nouveau buildings in Masarykovo Nabrezi

Dress Code: Dressing formal for a theatre is not as usual as in Austria or other parts of Europe.

Directions: On Smetanovo Nabrezi

The Municipal Building & Powder Tower

The Municipal building is also lighted in a great way untill around midnight.

That way the great mosaiques of the fassade look even a bit better than during the day.

The Art Nouveau Cafe and Restaurant will be closed early at night, and the whole area around the building is rather empty and maybe even a bit "spooky"

Dress Code: NO special dress-code required

Directions: On Namesti Republiky

Cafe "Smetana" at night

This is again Cafe "Smetana" - mentioned already as a great place to go under my restaurant-tips !

At night it is even a much better place, as it is totally empty, but you may use the chairs and tables and watch the great scenery there.

Dress Code: The famous composer Smetana ( his sculpture is on the left of my pic ) will not care for you, NOR will anyone of the cafe, as they are closed at night, but leave their chairs for the public...

Directions: Directely in front of the Smetana-museum

The old townhall & square

Untill about 01.00 a.m. all of the garden-restaurants on main square will be open, whenever the weather is fine.
Thousands of people will take a walk there, enjoying the great buildings.

Taking pics is easy, if you have the possibility to place your camera on a tripod, or simply make your clicks as soft as possible.

Dress Code: Except for a very few restaurants NO dress code is required.

Directions: Directely on Staromestske Namesti

Theme: Eating and Drinking

Take a walk

Take a walk on the main square , next to the monument of Jan Hus , who was burned 1415.
Lots of benches are found around his monument and garden-restaurants are there as well on the opposite side of the square.

Charles Bridge - MY favorite nightlife-spot

Charles Bridge is a great place during the day, but it even gets much better and more romantic at night-time.
Musicians and all kinds of artists will show different programs every day, just pass by or watch it, leave some coins...

Dress Code: Another great place to go without any special dress-code

Directions: Charles Bridge up and down

Theme: People Watching

take a walk on Smetanovo Nabrezi

Smetanovo Nabrezi with its great boulevard along the Moldau / Vlatva offers great views of the Hradzin !
The building with the tower on the right of my pic is the disco "Karlovy Lazne" , that I mentioned in my previous tip.

Dress Code: Nothing special required, just come in time if you plan to get one of the very few benches.

Directions: Smetanovo Nabrezi - close to Charles Bridge
