New Year’s Eve in Kraków
New Year’s Eve in Kraków: The Ultimate Night Out If you’ve ever been in Kraków on a normal Saturday, you know the nightlife is wild. Now picture that energy on steroids, with fireworks, confetti, and a countdown that shakes the Main Square. That’s New Year’s Eve in Kraków. Forget overpriced “all you can drink” dinners or waiting in line outside a random club. The only way to guarantee an epic night is to lock in the Kraków Animals New Year’s Eve Pub Crawl. Why NYE in Kraków Hits Different Locals call it Sylwester. For one night the whole city throws out the rulebook. The Main Market Square is packed shoulder to shoulder, live concerts take over the stage, and every club in town goes all-in. But here’s the thing, on NYE, Kraków is chaos.

The Crawl-Your Ticket to 2025 Here’s what you get when you roll with the Animals on New Year’s Eve: 2 hours of unlimited drinks to kick the night off. Vodka, gin, rum, whisky, beer, shots — if it pours, it counts. Magician working the crowd with tricks that get crazier the more you drink. Photographer capturing every bad decision you’ll want proof of. Drinking games to make sure nobody is standing in the corner.

Let us plan the night, guide the chaos, and get you into the best clubs with the best people. 👉 Kraków is one of the world’s best NYE cities. Do it the right way.

You sip 2 or 3 servings of traditional drinks along the way. Local vodkas, flavored shots, maybe a mulled beer if the weather turns cold. The highlight is the cherry tasting with real fruit. Sweet, strong, and the kind of drink that makes you smile before you know it. The Stories Between the food and the shots your guide drops legends and history.

Kraków’s 6PM Bar Crawl
Kraków’s 6PM Bar Crawl: Start the Party Early Some nights you wait until midnight to party. Other nights you look at your watch, see 6PM, and think… why not now? That’s exactly the energy behind Kraków’s 6PM Bar Crawl. It’s the city’s wildest day drinking adventure, and by the time the sun sets, you’ll already be best friends with twenty new people and possibly the proud owner of a half-decent karaoke performance. The Power Hour Kickoff The crawl doesn’t ease you in. It throws you headfirst into 60 minutes of unlimited drinks at the first bar. Beer, wine, mixed drinks, if it pours, it counts. Add in some classic drinking games and challenges and suddenly everyone in the room goes from strangers to teammates. The guides make sure nobody’s left standing awkwardly in the corner. By the time the power hour ends, the whole group is buzzing. The Crawl After that, it’s time to roam. You’ll hit three lively bars around Kraków, each with its own vibe. Some are perfect for cheap pints, others for dancefloor chaos. In every spot, the guides keep the games going, flip cup, challenges, dares, the kind of silly stuff that breaks the ice and keeps the energy high. This isn’t one of those “follow the flag in silence” tours. You’ll be laughing, shouting, and high-fiving people you only met half an hour ago. The Karaoke Finale The last stop is where things get loud. The crawl ends at one of Kraków’s top karaoke bars, and by this point, inhibitions are long gone. You’ll get a free welcome drink, grab the mic, and either belt out your guilty pleasure or scream-sing with everyone else in the room. Even if you don’t sing, the vibe is electric. It’s the perfect way to wrap up a crawl that never takes itself too seriously. What’s Included 60 minutes of unlimited drinks to kick things off Drinking games and challenges in every bar Visits to 3 handpicked bars plus the karaoke finale Free welcome drink at the last venue Party guides keeping the chaos organized A few stories you’ll probably only half-remember Why Start Early? Most people wait until midnight to go out in Kraków. The 6PM Bar Crawl flips the script. You’re already tipsy before sunset, you’ve made a crew of new mates, and by the time other tourists are just leaving their hostels, you’ve already had an epic night. And yes, there’s still time to keep partying after karaoke if you’ve got the stamina. Book Now Tickets are €22 (95 PLN) and spots are limited. The crawl runs Thursday through Sunday, and it sells out fast because let’s be honest… everyone loves day drinking. 🎟️ Book your Kraków 6PM Bar Crawl here and get ready to turn an ordinary evening into a full-on story. 👉 Kraków has plenty of history, but sometimes the best stories start with unlimited drinks at 6PM and end with you screaming karaoke into the night.

Kraków Animal Unleashed in Rome – Saturday Night Exclusive
Kraków Animal Unleashed in Rome I swapped Kraków’s vodka-fuelled cobbles for Rome’s cobblestones and told myself it was “cultural research.” By 10 PM I was three drinks in, and playing beer pong with Australians who had landed that afternoon each one telling me all about how they invented the game. If this was research, then Rome passed the test before I’d even left the first bar. The Power Hour at Highlander Pub The crawl starts at Highlander Pub, tucked a short walk from the Spanish Steps. At 9:30 sharp they fire the starting gun: open bar for an hour. Beer, wine, mixed drinks, if it pours, it counts. Somewhere around drink number two, I realised that they definitely weren't light on the pour and this was going to be an epic night! By 10:15 I was watching a guy from Brazil invent a new rule for beer pong involving body shots. By 10:30, the guides herded us out the door like a squad of half-tipsy gladiators. Bar Hopping the Eternal City Rome’s nightlife queues are legendary, but with a wristband you just stroll right past the poor souls stuck outside. Three or four stops later, you’ve collected more free shots than you can count and more new “best friends” than you’ll ever text back. The bars are a mix: one cosy and candlelit, another pulsing with bass heavy enough to shake the history off the walls, then finally a club so big it felt like it had its own postcode. Somewhere between Rihanna and a house remix, I lost track of the group and found myself dancing with a bachelor party from Dublin. The Final Push The last club runs until late-late. Think shoes sticking to the floor, people shouting their Instagrams over the music, and that glorious moment when you realise you don’t actually care how you’ll get home. Around 4 AM I was outside eating street pizza with three people whose names I never caught, which feels like the official end point. Rookie Mistakes to Dodge Bring ID - not a photo on your phone, the real thing. No flip flops, no sleeveless shirts (for guys). They’ll bounce you. Don't over do it at the open bar, just like krakow they know how to drink! The Damage €35 gets you: 1h unlimited beer, wine, mixed drinks Free shots at every stop Skip-the-line entry to multiple bars and clubs And a whole lot of fun Kraków Final Word Rome Pub Crawl is like Kraków Animals’ slightly better-dressed cousin. Same chaos, different backdrop, vaulted ceilings instead of basement bars, Aperol spritz in place of vodka shots. If you want your first Roman night out to go from “just one drink” to “sunrise over the Spanish Steps,” this is the way to do it.👉 “Why are Rome’s ‘Spanish Steps’ called that? Blame the Spanish Embassy, it’s been parked at the bottom of the staircase since the 1600s, and the name stuck harder than last night’s hangover.” Ready to swap Kraków cobbles for Rome’s cobblestones?Book your Saturday Night Exclusive and meet us at the Highlander Pub. Or check the full calendar on the Rome Pub Crawl main page. And when you’re back in Poland, keep the chaos alive at Kraków Animals Crawl.

Kraków Animal Overboard - Croatian Edition with Out to Sea Split
Kraków Animal Overboard Swapped Kraków’s cobbles for a boat deck and flew into Split for some “research.” In my head, research meant maybe one or two quiet drinks by the water. In reality it was three rum mixers deep at 3:15 PM with a DJ playing house classics while I pretended to know how to dance on a moving floor. One afternoon, one boat party, one hazy after-party and somehow my shorts still smell like the Adriatic. Pre-Party at Jimmy Bar They tell you to meet at Jimmy Bar in Split at 2:00 PM for check-in. Sounds official, but it’s really a room full of strangers turning into best mates over pre-party drinks. Your wristband gets handed over, you get a free shot, and that’s the last sensible decision you’ll make all day. Boarding Split’s Biggest Boat Party By 2:45 PM you’re stepping onto Split’s biggest floating club — a white party boat with dance decks, a full bar, and crew who pour drinks faster than most bars on land. Cocktail buckets, beers, vodka, rum, mixers… if it pours, they’ve got it. I started with a vodka bucket before remembering it wasn’t even 3 PM yet. Swimming at the Blue Lagoon An hour later we’re anchored in the Blue Lagoon, the famous swim spot with water so blue it looks filtered in real life. Life jackets are there if you want them, but most of us just cannonballed in. Midway through my second swim I noticed an inflatable flamingo drifting away. A guy from Dublin launched himself from the top deck like he was auditioning for Baywatch and came up holding the bird like a trophy. The DJ dropped Freed From Desire, the boat went mad, and somehow a conga line formed around the flamingo. My “waterproof” phone case failed right there, but losing the footage almost made the story better. Sunset Cruise Back to Split The boat pulls anchor and we cruise back toward Split with the sun dropping behind the old town. Golden light hits the city, people swap drinks and numbers, and the DJ keeps the music rolling. The onboard photographer moves between groups catching everything — sometimes mid-dance, sometimes mid-spill. After-Party at Bacvice Beach Club We dock around 8:00 PM and the wristband gets you straight into Bacvice Beach Club VIP with no queues and no cover charge. Half the boat ends up in the same corner again, ordering more cocktails like we hadn’t just been at sea for five hours. I don’t remember leaving, but I do remember waking up with sand in my shoes. Out to Sea Split Price and Inclusions The €50 ticket covers the pre-party at Jimmy’s, a free shot, the boat party with DJ, the Blue Lagoon swim stop, a photographer, and VIP entry to Bacvice Beach Club. Easily worth it — though you might want to budget for rehydration salts.If you want your own flamingo-rescue moment and a sunset you’ll actually remember, check the dates and book direct at Out to Sea Split.

Prague Weeknd Diary – one Krakow Animals guide vs The Drunken Monkey
So I escaped Kraków for two nights, marched off the FlixBus and straight into The Drunken Monkey. Spoiler: Prague won. Where I slept (and occasionally napped) I booked a bunk at the brand-new Drunken Monkey Experience Hostel. It sits by Florenc bus station, an easy stroll from the Forum Karlín music venue, so my map skills were not tested at all. Rooms are fresh, air-conditioned, and the Wi-Fi hits 200 Mb-ish which was perfect for my late-night meme dump. Extra perks that came with the bed: Outdoor courtyard bar for “just one more” 24-hour reception (useful when you forget the door code) Social lounge plus foosball and billiards Luggage store big enough for my over-packed party shirts Shared kitchen that actually has pans without mystery crust The crawl that started the carnage Night one I signed up for the legendary Drunken Monkey Pub Crawl. First stop is their own bar where the staff flood you with unlimited beer, wine, plus vodka rum and gin mixes. Five custom beer-pong tables, flip-cup kits, and a giant Jenga tower keep everybody busy while the bartenders hand out free party shades if you ask nicely. After the bar session the hosts walk (and occasionally herd) the group to two or three partner venues, each greeting us with a welcome shot, and the ticket already covers cover-charge for the final club. Zero waiting in the queue – the hosts sweep you right past it. Prague-pub-crawl Tiny wins I clocked Party hosts actually remind you to drink water, lifesavers. No stag gangs in borat costumes, house rules ban them. Smart-casual dress gets you past Prague door staff stress. Boat party on the Vltava – open bar on a moving floor Day two my brave brain booked the Sunset Boat Party. Think open bar (same unlimited drink list) plus a live DJ decked on the roof so the music stays with the sunset. When the boat docks everyone marches to Duplex rooftop club – VIP entry handled, no extra fee. This is the only Prague boat gig that mixes open bar with a sundeck DJ, and yes, it feels as good as it sounds when the castle drifts by in golden light. Sunset-boat-party Unlimited Beer Pong session – proof I can’t aim Back on dry land the bar runs an Unlimited Beer Pong booking: custom tables, balls ready, endless Czech lager and wine, and seven big screens playing any sport you beg for. You can level up by adding trays of vodka or rum shooters but I already had enough bravery juice. The staff set the cups, settle rule disputes, even suggest food delivery if you need carbs. Beer-Pong Craft beer tour for the “culture” I tried to look sophisticated on their Czech Craft Beer Tour. A local guide walks you through eight different microbrews – real craft stuff you won’t find in the supermarket. Highlights include a stop at Sibeeria Tap Room with a hundred-plus beers on offer, then a wander to Letná Beer Garden for skyline views. Hot snacks exist if you need them. Even as a vodka loyalist I learned loads about 11° pilsners and fruity sours. Craft-beer-tour Bottomless brunch buffet (aka hangover CPR) Last morning I shuffled onto their moored brunch boat. For a fixed ticket you demolish a buffet of eggs, bacon, pancakes, fruit, hash browns, cereal, coffee, juice – plus bottomless mimosas and build-your-own Bloody Marys. A DJ spins chill tracks and there’s an open mic if you feel extra. I did not feel extra. Bottomless-brunch-buffet Quick cheat sheet (facts not fluff) Pub crawl price currently listed at roughly €32 online, covers all bars and the final club. Boat party ticket from about €45 on weekdays, rises on weekend peaks – but includes the Duplex club entry. Beer pong session about €20 per person with endless lager and wine. Hostel beds vary, check their Cloudbeds calendar for the latest deal. hosteldrunkenmonkey.cz (Prices are what the site shows as of this week – always peek before you pay.) Rookie errors you can dodge Currency brain-fart – Czech crowns are sneaky. Use a card or Revolut and skip the airport exchange shops that mug tourists. Forgetting ID for Duplex – the club wants physical passport or licence, phone photos get bounced. Packing slippery shoes – cobbles plus boat deck equals surprise split. Skipping the water jugs – the bar hands them out. Take them. Your Monday self will thank you. Why the Monkey combo rules Having the hostel, the bar, and the activity desk under the same umbrella means zero taxi costs and max friend-making. The staff juggle safety with party vibes, the events run every week, and if one activity sells out they’ll slide you onto another. It’s basically plug-and-play nightlife with a pillow included.
