Karlovy Lazne Dance Club

Karlovy Lazne looks good on paper:
-5 stories
-Different club themes of each room
-Disco
-Trance
-Lounge
-Hip-hop
-VIP
The mega-club hails itself as "The Largest Club in Europe," the neon sign on the early 15th century building reflects off of the Vltalva River, just 100 meters from Charles Bridge.

That's the success of Karlovy Lazne, how it looks on paper or in-flight magazines, tourist guide books and other paid for print advertising. Everyone knows about Karlovy Lazne before they get to Prague.

It is only for tourists and this may be its problem.

-A surprisingly high level of 30-year old males, British mostly, drinking and chatting the night away.
-Large student groups, American and Western European mostly, staying together in a protective flock.
-Locals, yes but rarely above 18 as it's one of their first clubbing experience in their city.
-Live Electronic followers never leave the trance themed floor and salute their favorite DJs with maximum attention and dance.

You don't feel the need to be the 25th guy to approach the 1 girl of social value. You see she's tired of the advances as well and have confined herself within her friends.

Everyone is dancing together but not really. Everybody else is walking around, up one floor, then another, looking for something new in the crowd of people but just after you notice her from across the room, through the smoke machine, you realize it's your buddy from the group, just on another floor.

In the winter be aware of their schedule:
Sunday- 1 floor is only open
Monday- 1 floor is only open
Tuesday- 2 floors are open
Wednesday- 3 floors are open
Thursday - 4 floors are open
Friday - All 5 floors are open
Saturday - All 5 floors are open
Cost of entrance fee depends on the evening but is certainly every evening.

In the Spring/Summer you'll have to wait in line as they want to make sure everyone pays the raised entrance fee.

So, the entrance and drinks are expensive. If you have a fun group and you want to make a night out of it, it's certainly something to say you did, even if you didn't have fun. Because certainly someone's told you that they had fun, because the club itself sounds good on paper.

Described as the largest club of its kind in Central Europe, Karlove Lazne has five music clubs on five floors. The ground floor is called Music Café, the first floor is disco music, floor number two is Kaleidoskop (music from 60’s-80’s), the 4th floor is all dance music and is called Paradogs Club, and the top floor is calm, relaxing music. Guaranteed to be busy, this club lived up to the reputation we knew, which was loads of people, loud music, and great fun. We danced the night away, forgetting that there were multiple floors, staying on one floor all night.

This is one of the most exciting clubs on the planet. It has nonstop energy that cannot be matched. All 4 floors are packed with beautiful people dancing to beat of the music. There was a reason this club was featured in XXX. I was there for New Year's Eve and again this past March...can't wait to go back and experience of of the finest disco's in Eastern Europe.

it's the biggest club in central europe,i had fun there,you can dance with the music whichever you want,pop,R&B,'80s etc,beer is also cheap like elsewhere in Prague,the only thing is it's like a boys high school:)

Karlovy Lazne is one of the biggest clubs in Prague and located right next to the Charles Bridge, so it's in a central location too. Unfortunately, it is also one of the most touristy. When I went with my friends it was mostly guys. The venue is cool because it's spread out over 4-5 levels, with different types of music on each level and a chill out lounge on the top, but I don't think the ratio makes up for it. From my experience you are unlikely to find any Czech speaking people here...

Despite spending a few days in Prague we had a hard time finding cool "local" bars/clubs. There are supposedly a few near the old town center area, but the ones we went to were kind of empty...Try to meet a local and have him/her share what's good -- then let us know!

Great times, this awsome dance club is situated in central Prague city - next to the torture museum (a must see as well). The club is the biggest in central europe, with DJs and music on four floors.

Each floor offers a different type of music, the basement level is the R&B and hip hop leve. The second level is the techno level where the cool transformer like installation blows smoke into the crowd below and cutting neon lights. The top floor I didn't spend too much time there, its for the 70s and 80s music and finally chill out on the top floor café; the café plays a mellow selection of music and features cushions, rugs and soft lighting.

On the basement level, there is free internet connection but beware the connection is not very stable!

Just one entrance fee (100 Czech Crowns, less than 4 Euros) gets you into all levels, and there's enough variation to keep even the most ardent clubber entertained all night.

The average drink in the bar is about 50-100 Czech Crowns. In prague is where you can get the cheapest Absinthe drink in Europe. I paid 50 Czech Crowns for a shoot.

Remember to always tip the bartender everytime you purchase a drink, because 1 euro = 25 Czech Crowns and Pragian bartenders get very little compared to their western european neighbours. I always tip about 20CC each time i go and buy a drink.
