Once a favourite destination for Stag/Hen dos, Prague has now BANNED overnight drinking tours from operating between 10pm - 6am, as they also consider banning fancy dress and other forms of typically British debauchery...
Ah, who doesn't love a good Stag/Hen do? Well, for starters, most Europeans. It's a particularly British passtime afterall, and some cities have had enough. One of those being Prague....
The move comes after earlier this year, a Prague councillor called for a ban on fancy-dress outfits that 'exceed generally acceptable social conventions'. Party pooper.
But we get it, no one wants to sit down for a romantic meal with their other half only to be greeted by the loud screeches of 20+ drunken British men dressed up as Smurfs (speaking from experience).
The locals aren't happy either, with many blaiming rising rent prices on the influx of tourism Prague has experienced over the years. Prague has become the latest European country to add in measures against overtourism. One local, Štěpán Kuchta, a resident of Dlouhá Street, launched a 10-day hunger strike in response to the 'chronic noise' in the historic central Old Town area. He complained of it being almost impossible to sleep or live peacefully in his neighbourhood due to the commotion brought by tourists, particularly drunken Brits. Sorry, about that, Štěpán. To combat this, Prague has now BANNED all drinking tours from operating between the hours of 10pm to 6am.
Industry experts think that this ban will do little to deter people from visiting though. As potential party-goes can easily plan their night without a guide, as the ban only applies to drinking tours.
With so many cities now introducing these anti-tourism policies, has it made you rethink your holidaying habits?
