Prague bans evening bar crawls to discourage 'drunk' tourists
CNN
—
Prague, a city as famous for its beer as its historic architecture, is set to ban late-night bar crawls, seeking to end its reputation as a party destination.
The Czech capital is the latest European tourism hot spot pushing back on crowds, amid concerns about the impact on locals’ quality of life.
Prague’s deputy mayor, Jiri Pospisil, said the city wants to discourage tourists who come “for a short time only to get drunk” in favor of “a more cultured, wealthier tourist,” according to the AFP news agency.
Over the past two decades, partly thanks to the boom in budget airlines, Prague has become a go-to destination for bachelor and bachelorette parties, particularly from the UK.
