Recent headlines reveal a serious party-planning kicker: Prague has officially banned organised nighttime pub crawls by travel agencies between 10pm and 6am, aiming to curb noise, chaotic behavior and over-tourism, especially from rowdy stag and hen groups. Deputy Mayor Zdenek Hrib said the move is all about attracting “more cultured” and “wealthier” tourists who come for the city’s beauty, not the booze-fueled chaos.
