Entertainment Overview

Highbrow entertainment is the best deal in Prague -- second only to the beer. The city is home to several well-respected orchestras and opera companies that have their roots in the 19th century, and classical venues that have seen the likes of Mozart and Dvorák conducting their own works. Tickets for highbrow entertainment are reasonably priced compared to other cities. Even if your experience with classical music is limited to old Bugs Bunny cartoons, consider stepping out to the opera or the concert house while you're here. Rarely is high quality culture so accessible.

So too are rock and pop acts. Increasingly Prague is popping up on the touring circuits of old favorites like Bob Dylan and Eric Clapton up through modern acts like Green Day and Pink. Prices for Western shows are high by local standards, which means tickets are often available up to the last minute. For more intimate evenings, several jazz clubs offer everything from swing to fusion in settings ranging from medieval vaulted basements to cruise boats. House and techno can be found in renovated movie theaters and former factories
