Prague bans nighttime visits to pubs to attract “cultured and wealthy” tourists

Prague has banned night visits to pubs organized by travel agencies. The Czech capital now focuses on “more cultured” tourists.

This is reported by The Guardian.

The city of 1.3 million people has long been popular with bachelor party organizers and pub visitors, mostly British.

Deputy Mayor of Prague Zdenek Hrib told reporters that from now on, organized nighttime (from 22:00 to 06:00) visits to pubs are prohibited.

In 2023, the Czech Republic consumed 128 liters of beer per person, making it the world leader in this indicator. In some restaurants, beer is cheaper than water, and many pubs in the historic center offer the famous local lager for less than €3 per 0.5 liter.
