This is a weekly (Wednesday) swing dance party in Prague 6…read more The logistics: the party starts at 8PM outside the cafe Prostoru in the NTK building (note that this location is on the Technická street, the Yelp map shows the wrong side of the building ). At 10PM the party moves inside the cafe. The location is a bit away from the tourist places, about a 10-15-minute tram ride. Attendance is free. Updates (in Czech) can be found at https://www.facebook.com/swingbusters/ . The music: DJ music tilted towards mid-high tempo (think Charleston). The floor: the dance starts on the concrete pavement outside the cafe. The rough surface makes pivots hard; taking care of yours and your partner's knees is essential. Do not put on your good dance shoes yet. The floor inside the cafe after 10PM is smooth plastic that is easier on your shoes and your knees. The crowd: on the day I visited (in August) about 60 people, mostly at the intermediate and advanced level, but with a heavy portion of beginners. There are also a lot of onlookers, who have zero swing dance skills, but can be invited to dance. The dancers are mostly young, although compared to other places in Prague there were more of the mature folks like me. As it is typical for Prague, there are more follows than leads. Overall: high fun factor (a chance to dance to less politically correct tunes like the King Size Papa!), a must-visit for a swing dancer who happens to come to Prague.

Horrible scam! They tricked us into a horrible accommodation then promised a refund and never didread more

They were very good in the communication by email and i knew they were charging more than average…read morein accommodation but i just preferred they organize everything for my friend's bachelor! Later when i arrived i discovered that the accommodation was not just over priced like i knew it was but it was also one of the worst! I was basically paying more than what you would for an average good airbnb or apartment from booking.com but for a bad hostel (which i discovered it is when i arrived)! The place was dirty, dusty and messy, stained sheets and dirty towels, beds were so tiny and i was even promised that the apartment had two bathrooms but it had only one small unclean one! There were bugs and dirt falling off the ceiling windows while i was sleeping! I decided to check myself out, pay for the night i stayed and inform them that i will be staying somewhere else and would like to just do the activities i booked with them to save the bachelor party and not lose the 2 days looking for good apartment instead of enjoying the time with the group. I would just like to mention that i booked an amazing 3* apartment which can't even be compared to that other place and it was 30% cheaper for an instant booking on the same day in a weekend, i would have got that even cheaper if i booked a month in advance! However when i did that, they cancelled my reservations for everything and informed me that they cannot just give me the activities! I started rushing into booking activities by myself to try and save the day for the bachelor which i managed to partially do. They later offered me a refund but then backed out and just informed me towards the end of my trip that they will keep my 190 Euros deposit as cancellation fees which i am sure they didn't pay as penalties because i have spoke with the people who conduct the activities there! Although they had a nice tone in the beginning of the problem and although i tried several times to just comvince then to help us with the activities, everything changed towards the end! I feel like i just got robbed through a well-designed scam! I spent my whole weekend that was supposedly planned a month ago figuring out what we will do in the next hours. I had 8 friends coming from 7 different countries for this bachelor and i kept trying to save the day because of this manipulative treatment i received and i even got robbed at the end! I highly recommed you go online and search for each activity you wanna do in Prague and book it on your own. There are multiple websites with extensive excellent reviews for each single activity they do and Stag Reisen doesn't even offer you better prices as you would imagine! Finally no matter what you do don't ever book accommodation through them, this is where the real scam is for sure!
