Prague Implements Ban on Nighttime Pub Crawls to Curb Rowdy Tourism

The Czech capital seeks to attract more cultured tourists by prohibiting organized drinking tours between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.

Prague's ban on organized nighttime pub crawls aims to reduce noise and disruption caused by drunken tourists, particularly in historic areas.
The restriction targets tours organized by travel agencies, which are popular among British and American visitors for stag and hen parties.
City officials hope the ban will help shift the focus to attracting wealthier and more culturally interested tourists.
Local businesses, including the Czech Association of Hotels and Restaurants, largely support the ban, believing it won't negatively impact overall pub sales.
The move is part of a broader European trend to manage overtourism and improve the quality of life for local residents.
