Prague is one of the best cities in Europe for a hen do. The beer is cheap, the old town is stunning, and there’s enough going on that you can fill two full days without ever feeling like you’re running out of ideas. This itinerary keeps the group together, keeps things moving, and makes sure the bride-to-be actually has fun instead of herding people around a foreign city.
We run beer tours here every week, so we know what works and what doesn’t. Here’s a two-day plan that balances proper sightseeing with proper drinking.
Most flights from the UK land in the early afternoon. Use this time to check in, freshen up, and take a slow walk through the old town. Prague’s centre is compact and extremely walkable, so a 30-minute stroll covers a lot of ground.
Stop at a terrace bar near Old Town Square for your first Czech beer. Order a Pilsner Urquell or a Kozel. Don’t overthink it. The goal here is to land, relax, and let the city do its thing.
This is the centrepiece of the first evening. Book a Prague beer tour that takes you through a few local pubs with a guide who knows the history and the pours. You’ll visit spots that aren’t on the tourist trail, try different Czech lagers and dark beers, and get a feel for how drinking culture actually works here.
After the tour, head somewhere for a late dinner. Czech food is hearty and cheap, which is exactly what you need after a travel day and a few beers. Svíčková or goulash will do the job.
Nobody is running at full speed on day two morning, so keep it easy. Grab coffee and pastries somewhere near your accommodation, then walk up to Prague Castle. The views over the city are worth the uphill, and it’s free to walk around the grounds.
Spend an hour or two up there, then head back down through Malá Strana. Stop into one of the neighbourhood pubs for a midday beer. This is completely normal in Prague, nobody will judge you.
Cross Charles Bridge in the early afternoon when the light is good and the tour groups are thinning out. Walk across, take the photos, then follow the river south toward the dancing house or just find a riverside bar and sit for a bit.
A short river cruise is a genuinely nice thing to do on a hen weekend. It’s relaxed, most boats serve drinks, and it gives everyone a rest before the evening. An hour on the Vltava river costs very little and the city looks completely different from the water.
This is your big night. Prague’s bar and club scene in Žižkov and Vinohrady is genuinely good if you want something local and less touristy. Dlouhá Street in the old town is busier and more hen-do friendly if that’s the vibe you’re after.
Most clubs don’t get going until midnight, so pacing is everything. A few pubs first, dinner, then out properly around 11pm works well for most groups.
How many people can join the beer tour?
Groups of up to 15 or so work well on a standard tour. For larger hen parties, a private option makes more sense so the guide can focus entirely on your group.
Is Prague a good hen do destination for non-drinkers?
Yes. The city has a lot going on beyond bars. Non-drinkers can join the tour and just enjoy the history and the atmosphere without drinking a drop.
When is the best time of year to visit?
May, June, and September are the sweet spot. Warm enough to sit outside, not as crowded as July and August.
Do we need to speak Czech?
Not at all. English is widely spoken in Prague’s city centre, especially in hospitality.
