Tips & Warnings
Some Web sites and books provide information for travelers with HIV or AIDS (necessary vaccines, foods to eat and not to eat, where it's safe to drink the water and so on).
Plan on walking a lot. Wear comfortable shoes.
If you plan on cabbing it, establish a price with the driver before you depart. Some drivers reportedly tamper with their meters.
Carry your passport, extra cash, traveler's checks and credit cards with you at all times.

The best bar to start the night in Prague is The Saints. It is a small place, but very cool and with good-looking, friendly staff who speak excellent English and will tell you all about the gay scene in Prague.
