Prague implements ban on night-time pub crawls in effort to curb rowdy tourism behavior

Prague, a European tourist hotspot, is implementing measures to discourage short-term, party-oriented tourists in favor of a more cultured and affluent demographic. The city's deputy mayor has stated a desire to attract tourists who are interested in experiencing the city's culture, rather than just its nightlife. To this end, the city council has banned night-time pub crawls, making it impossible to conduct guided tours between 10pm and 6am. This move aims to reduce the number of rowdy tourists and promote a more refined experience for visitors. Additionally, the city's stag-do travel agencies, which cater to groups of men celebrating bachelor parties, offer a range of unconventional and sometimes provocative activities, highlighting the city's existing reputation for party tourism.
