Parties take over in Prague on Silvestr – the Czech Republic’s New Year’s Eve – when the city ramps up to celebrate with fireworks and fun for locals and thousands of hard-drinking Euro-revellers alike. Stores close in the early afternoon on New Year’s Eve but reopen on January 1; most of Prague’s street parties are accessible on foot in the pedestrianized center.
1. Street Parties
Prague’s most frenzied street party kicks off around beautiful baroque Old Town Square. Bars, restaurants, and clubs all overflow onto the streets. There’s music and dancing, with mulled wine sold on every corner, and the pop of firecrackers fill the streets in the run up to midnight.
