How to make friends in Prague as a newcomer or visitor

Prague is compact, walkable and built around pubs and cafés. Meeting people here is mostly a matter of showing up.

Top 3 things to do — and how to turn them into plans

1
Beer garden at Letná
The city's best view plus cheap beer — a natural meetup. On Sidecar, you can post exactly this as a plan — or join someone else's.
2
Charles Bridge at dawn
Beat the crowds together, then reward yourselves with breakfast. On Sidecar, you can post exactly this as a plan — or join someone else's.
3
Náplavka riverbank
Farmers' market by day, floating bars by night. On Sidecar, you can post exactly this as a plan — or join someone else's.

Sidecar is for locals meeting locals, travellers meeting locals, and fellow travellers meeting each other. Friends only.

A Czech pub table is a social institution. Suggesting a couple of beers in Žižkov or Vinohrady is an easy, normal plan.

A sunset walk across Charles Bridge early in the morning, or up to Letná Park for the view, costs nothing and is a great first meetup.

Board-game cafés, climbing walls, live music in small clubs and the many expat meetups give every interest a crowd.

Sidecar shows small, platonic plans in Prague in time order, each with a host introduction and a public meeting place. Join one, or post your own.
