I will be in Prague for New Year%26#39;s Eve and I am hoping to find something fun and memorable to do that will include a good view of the fireworks.
I know there are several places to see the fireworks, but I have read that most areas will be chaotic and possibly unsafe??? I have also read about people attending events that include meals, music, drinks and a view of the fireworks, but I am having a hard time finding anything online for this year...
For those of you who have spent New Year%26#39;s Eve in Prague, what would be your suggestions? And if there are specific events to suggest, how would I go about arranging them?
(By the way, if it makes a difference, there will be 4-6 of us in our late 20s and 30s.)
Thanks in advance. :)

Call me unadventurous but having people throw fireworks at me isn%26#39;t my idea of fun! Last year my wife and I spent New Year%26#39;s Eve at Restaurant U Zlate Studne. They are just below the castle and their rooftop restaurant has outstanding views out across the Charles Bridge to Stare Mesto and Nove Mesto. The food, service and atmosphere were all good.
On the evening of 1 January there is an organised fireworks display let off from Letna Park - best viewing is around Cechov Most. This is highly recommended.

Thank you so much for your response! Was your night at the restaurant an event that you paid however much for an all inclusive night? And if so, did you prearrange everything or were you able to just show up?
Thanks again!

If you want to get into one of the better restaurants then you definatley need to book ahead. Certainly U Zlate Studne was completely full. We were able to request a window seat which was stunning.
Most places, U Zlate Studne included, offer a special menu that evening, and at a premium price too but it was worth it. It wasn%26#39;t an all inclusive deal (i.e. drinks not included) but some other places do offer that.

One restaurant I have contacted about New Year%26#39;s Eve is on the riverbank and they charge 3000 czk (about $185 US) per person for a nice menu with several drinks included (beer and soda are unlimited, but wine and champagne are limited). There will also be live piano throughout the night.
For those who have spent NYE in Prague, does this sound like a good deal?
Thanks.

3000 CZK? If it%26#39;s one of the better known restaurants then it sounds about par for the course.

Vaxaholic: Thank you for all of your information so far! The restaurant is Nebozizek. I heard about it here in the forums... Do you know the restaurant and, if so, is 3000 CZK still par for the course?
